Katrina Kaif Birthday: Journey
The actress has mostly played chirpy, girl-next-door characters on-screen.

When talking about Katrina's filmography, who can forget Jazz from Namaste London?
A carefree rebel with a golden heart, it's Katrina's finest performance to date. With films like Mere Brother ki Dulhan and Zindagi Milegi Na Dobara, she once again set the bar for beauty and attitude. Her roles in films such as Singh Is Kinng, Welcome, and Bang Bang ranged from damsel in distress to confused protagonist pining for attention.
Undoubtedly, Katrina is a brand in herself. She fits in the mould of a 'heroine' in Bollywood, and the audience definitely wants to see her on big screens over and over again.

The film's blockbuster success cemented her place as an action heroine.

Her effervescent performance and emotional depth won over audiences, making this role a major turning point in her career. Paired with Akshay Kumar, Katrina's performance struck a chord with audiences.

Stepping into a politically charged drama, Katrina broke her glam-doll image with Raajneeti. Her transformation into Indu Pratap, a character inspired by Congress leader Sonia Gandhi, showed a more mature side of her acting. To perfect her portrayal, she thoroughly researched Sonia Gandhi and even spent time with Priyanka Gandhi.

Bold, lively, and unapologetically quirky—this was Katrina's character in Mere Brother ki Dulhan. Her vibrant performance as Dimple Dixit in this romantic comedy showcased her comic timing and ability to command the screen with eccentric charm.

In an interview with Vogue India, Katrina has spoken about Vicky's unwavering love and appreciation.
On being asked how important fitness is when it comes to self-care, she said, 'I feel better about myself physically and mentally when I'm fit. No one but I can make myself feel better, except for my husband sometimes. He gives me a lot of love and appreciation. I think that's an important aspect of learning—to accept or understand unconditional love."
Recalling her first Karwa Chauth celebration post-marriage, Katrina shared with Pinkvilla that she was touched by the fact that Vicky was fasting too. 'The sweetest thing was that, of course, Vicky was also fasting. I'm sure he wouldn't have let me do it alone, and it's not like I asked him to do it all. I didn't say anything. He did it himself," she said.
In December 2024, Katrina revealed how Vicky encourages her to take a break from work, saying, 'Even now my husband asks me to put down the phone, and I want to send just one more email."
