Birthday Wishes: Katrina Kaif
Katrina Kaif celebrates her birthday today, 16 July
Katrina Kaif's is one of Tinsel Town's more interesting success stories. With absolutely zero knowledge of Hindi, Katrina has gone on to become one of the most successful actresses in recent times, so much so that it was her meteoric rise to stardom, that prompted many a random starlet to try their luck in Hindi films. Of course, none of them have quite got to the heights that Katrina did with her consistent run of successful films at the box office — a trend she seems all set to continue with a series of BIG films in the pipeline — Siddharth Anand's Bang Bang (with Hrithik Roshan), Abhishek Kapoor's Fitoor (with Aditya Roy Kapur), Kabir Khan's Phantom (with Saif Ali Khan) and Anurag Basu's Jagga Jasoos (with beau Ranbir Kapoor).
Professional, hard working and beautiful, albeit with questionable acting skills, Katrina celebrates her birthday and turns all of 31 today, 16 July 2014, and as a tribute to the actress with the porcelain features, we bring you her best dance numbers and music videos till date.
Do you agree with our list?
'Zara Zara Touch Me' — Race (2008)
Katrina raised the oomph factor in this Abbas Mustan whodunnit, while Saif Ali Khan lustfully watched on — despite the silly lyrics, both this song and Katrina's moves were a winner.
'Sheila Ki Jawani' — Tees Maar Khan (2010)
Perhaps, Katrina's most popular song yet, the diva sizzled under the watchful eye of Farah Khan in this sexy track from 2010's epic dud Tees Maar Khan.
'Chikni Chameli' — Agneepath (2012)
Katrina brought the house down in this Karan Johar blockbuster, and stole the limelight from Priyanka Chopra who was the actual heroine of the film, while Katrina was there merely for this chartbuster. Her scorching jhatkas in 'Chikni Chameli' were one of the highlights of this mass entertainer.
'Ishq Shava' — Jab Tak Hai Jaan (2012)
The film may have been terrible, and Katrina definitely buckled under and is undoubtedly one of Yash Chopra's more disappointing heroines, but her sexy moves in this number with SRK to an extent helped us forget, albeit temporarily, what a travesty this film actually was.
'Kamli' — Dhoom:3 (2013)
Blinked and you might have missed her in the film overall, but Katrina made the most of this number with her cheeky, soft striptease, where she's trying to convince Aamir Khan's character to hire her for his dance troupe. I much preferred this to her shimmy in the overrated title song.
