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.
