Katrina Kaif being an outsider has made it big by taking off the cliches as an insider. She never thought, she would be speaking Hindi like a pro and will be known as the famous Hindi film industry heroine. She's known as the highest paid actress of Bollywood today only began her career by full criticizing movie Boom (1999). After working long time in Bollywood, she knows her limits, work hard on her role and also to entertain public.
Katrina couldn't only count on her beauty when she began her career as a model in late '90s. She entered as a model in London like other actresses, Kaizad Gustad who's an Indian director saw her and decided to take her in his upcoming film Boom. Katrina couldn't speak Hindi correctly, it made her look awful on the big screen and Indian audiences disliked her badly on the release of Boom. She didn't give up and cast a magic of her beauty looks in a Telugu film, Malliswari which was quite liked by audience. It was enough for her to impress her producers.
During 2005-2006, Katrina was introduced by famous stars Salman Khan and Akshay Kumar who would be very helpful in her life and career life in near future. She appeared as 'Sonia' in Maine Pyaar Kyn Kiya (2005) with Salman Khan and that was the time audience noticed that she has an incredible and impressive acting power and charming beauty. Katrina's Hindi was still not good but dubbing helped it. The next year, she cast with Akshay Kumar in Humko Deewana Kar Gaya. The pair was quite liked by the audience on the big screen and film went hit. After that year the duo appeared in successful films e.g Namaste London, Welcome (both released in 2007) and Singh is Kingg (2008). Audience liked her in Namaste London where she appears as an Indian girl who is pressurized to learn English manners, ways and customs. Katrina faced many criticism by audience for her image in male-dominated films logically as "pretty prop" and "Unabashed eye candy". She had realized that she was successful in making an impact in the eyes of producers as an entertainer. During the time, she encouraged herself to coach in Hindi and will dub her own voice in movies. Katrina pulled off her romantic, comedies and family dramas cloak and put on an action avatar look in Race (2008). She appeared with Kabir Khan in New York (2009) until then she only showed as a second girl cheating with men in films. She started to exploring her acting abilities in film New York where she took a challenge to play a desperate wife of a man who's life has been upside down after the 9/11 attack. It was indeed very challenging role for Katrina for the first time but she acted very sensibly. Later on, she starred as a bride who is running away from her marriage in 'Mere Brother Ki Dulan', as a full of life diving instructor in Zindagi Na Milegi Dobara and as a young female politician in Rajneeti 
(2010). Katrina was sent to highest echelons of the Bollywood A-listers group. She then featured with all successful names of Bollywood industry in (Ajab Prem Ki Ghazab Kahaani) Ranbir Kapoor, (Dhoom 3) Aamir Khan, (Jab Tak Hai Jaan) king Shah Rukh Khan, (Bang Bang) Hrithik Roshan and (Ek Tha Tiger) with Salman Khan. These were all successful hits on the Indian box office.
She was also working with famous directors during this time - Ali Abbas Zafar, Anurag Basu, Prakash Jha, Zoya Akhtar and Kabir Khan. She performed as an undisputed dancer in song Chikni Chameli in film Agneepath which was Dharma Productions studio film, also in Yash Raj Films Productions (Ek Tha Tiger and Tiger Zinda Hai, Dhoom 3 and Jab Tak Hai Jaan), in Salman Khan Productions (Bharat). She faced failure in director Aanand L Rai film 'Zero' which was cast with Shah Rukh Khan. She will be appearing in Rohit Shetty's 'Sooryavanshi' with Akshay Kumar. Katrina is hard to break for female stars in Bollywood, and why shouldn't she has a charming beauty, mesmerizing eyes and unbeatable acting abilities. If female stars like Natasa Stankovic, Norah Fatehi and Elli AvrRam dreams to be a successful star of Bollywood, it is because of Katrina's successful career in Hindi film industry today.
