Katrina Kaif (born 16 July 1983) is a British actress who works in Hindi-language films. Born in British Hong Kong, Kaif lived in several countries before moving to India, where she modelled but had difficulty finding film roles. Bollywood success came with the romantic comedies Maine Pyaar Kyun Kiya? (2005) and Namastey London (2007). Kaif's performances in the thriller New York (2009) and the romantic comedy Mere Brother Ki Dulhan (2011) earned her nominations for the Filmfare Award for Best Actress. She appeared in the action thrillers Ek Tha Tiger (2012), Dhoom 3 (2013), and Bang Bang! (2014), all of which rank among the highest-grossing Indian films. These were followed by a series of commercial failures, but her portrayal of an alcoholic actress in the romantic drama Zero (2018) earned her a Zee Cine Award for Best Supporting Actress. She participates in stage shows and is involved with her mother's charity, which works in furthering the cause of underprivileged children in India.

___________________________ Wikiquote quote of the day:
I remember I asked old Childs if he thought Judas, the one that betrayed Jesus and all, went to Hell after he committed suicide. Childs said certainly. That's exactly where I disagreed with him. I said I'd bet a thousand bucks that Jesus never sent old Judas to Hell. I still would, too, if I had a thousand bucks. I think any one of the Disciples would've sent him to Hell and all — and fast, too — but I'll bet anything Jesus didn't do it. --The Catcher in the Rye https://en.wikiquote.org/wiki/The_Catcher_in_the_Rye
