International faces in Bollywood
Many Bollywood actresses are not from India. From Nargis Fakhri to Jacqueline Fernandez, there are many Bollywood divas who, despite being from a different nation, have established themselves in the industry.
THIS actress was thrown out of a movie shoot
A foreign actress was once thrown out of a Bollywood movie set because she did not know how to speak Hindi. But she has definitely established herself in the Bollywood industry and is one of the highest-paid actresses.
This actress worked with industry giants
The actress we are referring to has shared the screen with Bollywood giants Shah Rukh Khan, Akshay Kumar, Salman Khan and more. However, there was a time when no director wanted to cast her because she did not know Hindi.
Her struggle before fame
This actress caught the attention of a director, leading to her debut in a Hindi-English heist film alongside Amitabh Bachchan, but sadly, it was criticised and flopped.
What led to her rise to fame?
This actress started getting known as a well-established model in India, but was having a hard time making it in the film industry. After doing multiple advertisements as a model and a few movies that didn’t quite pan out, she finally got a break when she starred in four Bollywood hit films.
Understanding the journey from London to Mumbai
This British actress starred in Namastey London, where she channalised her London background into her role. Yes, we are talking about none other than Katrina Kaif. After this role, people in the industry recognised that Kaif’s Hindi with an English accent was part of her appeal. Katrina and Akshay have worked multiple times, starting in 2006, in Humko Deewana Kar Gaye. Even though it was a flop it led to more roles for Katrina, including Namastey London, Welcome, Singh is King and Tees Maar Khan.
Katrina Kaif’s first nomination
After a string of films in which she was cast in glamorous, arm candy roles, Kaif began looking for more substantial parts. One such opportunity arose with Kabir Khan’s terrorism drama New York. This brought her first Filmfare Award nomination for Best Actress.
Katrina Kaif’s success as an actor
Katrina finally rose to success and worked with the top actors in the industry, including Shah Rukh Khan, Salman Khan, Hrithik Roshan and more. She reached mainstream success starting in 2009.
