Katrina Kaif

Katrina Kaif is slowly becoming the Item Queen of Bollywood, turning into the go-to girl when there’s a peppy song filmmakers want executed. She gets to shift from being sizzling in her item numbers to gorgeous in her softer, more listenable tracks, so for her birthday, let’s take a look at some of her best songs!

1. Soni De Nakhre

Govinda’s dance moves, Salman’s expressions, Katrina’s pretty face, upbeat music and crazy lyrics… a winning combination if I ever saw one.

2. Uncha Lamba Kad

Katrina Kaif and Akshay Kumar have delivered quite a few hits – movies and songs – together, and this song is only one of them!

3. Zara Zara Touch Me

This one’s among Katrina’s first solo dance numbers… and I know quite a few guys who were left agape after watching this song!

4. Talli Hua

Absolutely NO Bollywood dance party is complete without this song!

5. Teri Ore

I think this is the most stunning Katrina has ever looked. Can I have that black sari now, please? And while we’re at it, maybe the pink one too?

6. Tu Jaane Na

Continuing with Katrina’s stunning good looks is Tu Jaane Na. How lucky are you, Ranbir!

7. Dhunki

Katrina dons the rockstar look for this song. Incidentally, I think Mere Brother Ki Dulhan was among her best movies, performance-wise.

8. Paisa Paisa

This is one of those songs that just get stuck in your head, while you hate yourself for it.

9. Sheila Ki Jawaani

Haters to the left, I am absolutely obsessed with this song. Never getting over it.

10. Chikni Chameli

Who knew Katrina could move that way? I was definitely mildly taken aback the first time I saw this song! Still nothing beats Sheila, though.

I honestly do think Katrina’s one of the most hardworking actors in the industry. No matter what you think about her, it’s evident that she’s come a long way – from being the girl who had to get her movies dubbed because of her lack of Hindi skills, to becoming one of the most sought-after women in the industry… she can definitely say that hard work pays off! Happy birthday, Katrina, from Team MissMalini!
