You really know how to open up topics, don't you 😆 you still haven't replied to one of my previous posts, in which you had a good 'ol rant over Hrithik Roshan.
Well, that aside, I don't think it constitutes as bashing when someone says that Kat is a weak actress. To be very frank, her acting skill are limited. But she is a very lucky indeed. Lady luck has been shining on her in full force. Also, one cannot deny that Salman Khan has had played a significant role in her success. Surely he introduced her to the right people at the beginning. In show business, you need big contacts, otherwise even the talented go unnoticed.
But I would like to say that Kat does seem to be a hard working girl and we shouldn't take that away from her either :)

but than BOOOOOMMM no improvementt..i was likee nahh i dont think i will ever like her as an actress

agree
and when some one says she is not an actor and her success is all luck ,salman and movies with big stars .why is that bashing or why that person have to be her hater.
yes she is hard working and we all accept that as she is doing 10 movies per year but none of her movie is showing her acting talent .that is so obvious that she is cast in movie to add glamour factor .even in rajneeti she was the weakest actor in whole team . she has long way to go acting wise .
after 10 or 15 years may be when people will see today movies and actress i dont think any one will mention her name .it will be all kareena , pc ,deepika , sonam may be .

Salman had many other girlfriends before.But how many of them are popular as Katrina(except Ash)?People watch a film once to see Salman's boyfriend but nobody will wach a film 50 times just to see Salman's girlfriend.Katrina has a X-favtor which keeps all glued to the screen.Even Katreena bashers will not change the channel which is showing an add of Katreena.If an actress is not popular a producer will not cast her just because she is Salman's girlfriend?

Definitely Salman played a humangous part in her success. The support of one the biggest stars in the business is huge and panga with him is huge...uhem uhem...certain Vivek Oberoi. Someone who denies this is not really facing reality.
Also, the mystery around her background and lieing about it is just not nice. She eventually will have to come clean. Hiding behind Mr's protective arms will not work. Also, if she desires to continue on this bollywood journey, more questions will be asked. Honestly, nobody will care and she will be respected more if she is honest.
About working hard, many people work hard, but nobody gets as many chances as her to prove herself. so, just liking her cuz she was willing to learn Hindi is laughable. If your wanting to work in the Hindi film industry, hello, you need to know Hindi?? Dont like that argument. Cuz Hema, Rekha and Sri Devi all didn't know Hindi when they came north, but that argument would of not worked for them. We let this slip by for Katrina.
The thing about Katrina is that she fits in a wonderful slot that not many actresses fit in. Its like the male oriented movies of the 70's and 80's , many actresses were willing to have just a few lines, but look glamorous. How many actresses are willing to take up a role like that and still be noticed. Not many. As soon as they taste a bit of success, they desire to have a key and important role in a movie and will refuse a movie like this. Even new actresses like Sonam and Deepika want an equivalent role.
Katrina has had many movies where she just plays a glam doll with a few lines. This is grreat for a male actor who wants the key role and a glam doll in his arms. Also, she has that bimbette, innocent, protect me type of look and personality, which appeals to the Indian male psyche.
Also, with the increase in stories revolving in the west, she actually looks more believable as a western indian girl. That also works.
To be successful, you need a niche and she has that.
The problem will arise when she decides she wants more of a role in a movie and will be needed to act a little more. Anyway, until then she will be around and fits in a wondeful slot. Its working for her so lets see where she goes with this.
It also can not be denied that she is very attractive. Beautiful hair and skin.

WOW, some of you were surprisingly VERY nice! Hehe :P
Anyway I agree with Crystal and a few more...people don't go to see ehr because she is Salman Khan's girlfriend, people go to see her because she is KATRINA KAIF! She has the personality, beauty, power and talent! That's why people love her so much. And as far as I'm concerned, Salman has been with many girls, but why are Katrina & Aishwarya the only big ones? BECAUSE THEY HAD TO AIM FOR SOMETHING. They set their goals unlike the other girls. That's why they are so successful today!
I also agree that Aishwarya is nothing without Salman or the Bachchans or HR! Now what Aish fan???😆

I actually don't think Salman has anything to do with Kat's popularity! Okay he has little to do with her popularity because...Yes he is the person who introduced her to Bollywood! And helped her in the start of her career! But after that, it's her hard work and her choice of films that made her big! She knows what kind of films work at the boxoffice! Even though I haven't liked her in any of her movies, I did love most of her movies! Barring the ones that flopped! Like Parter, all her films with Ranbir, London Dreams, Race, ect! They were really entertaining films! But she wasn't lol!

She also has a huge fan following! she is gorgeous and a lot of guys go gaga over her and rush to the cinema to watch her films!

One thing though she needs to improve on is her acting and also her charisma! When she comes on screen, I see no magic! Thatz why I find her boring most of the times!

One thing though: I do thing this girl is improving! Her acting in Rajneeti was good compared to her other work! If she works with other great directors, am sure she will improve and learn from them! She needs Vishal! lol

I give credit to salman & give credit to Kats also. Salman started her off & helped her in the beginning with advice and all but at then end of the day Katrina is the one that has to face the camera. The girl cant act yes but I like her on screen. where she lacks in acting she she has other factors that support her. Overall she has the X factor to have this much fan following right?? Salman has list of new comers he introduced to the industry how many of them reached Katrina level?? Okay maybe he gave her more attention and support for being his girlfriend. But give credit to Kats i love her films most of them are not because of her but still. she was good in New York & Rajneeti.

I love how people say most of Katrina's hits are not because of her...HAHAHAHA! Ya right! All her hits ARE because of her! She gave John & Neil their first BIG hit! She gave Ranbir his biggest hit, first with Ajab Prem then with Raajneeti! Raajneeti was completely a hit based on Katrina! They basically used her as if SHE was the main character! And just watch she'll give Akshay his hit after SO long! (Even though Housefull was a hit, that was only because it was Sajid!)

I would like to disagree. Katrina's ACTING doesn't bring people into the theatres. Like others have mentioned already she's A STAR, a very BEAUTIFUL star.
Let's face it, Katrina is not the best actress around - nor has she given an AMAZING performance where you can say she carried a film on her shoulders - She pulls in crowds to the box office no doubt but that doesn't mean all her films were good. I wouldn't say NY, APKGK, or Raajneeti did well because Katrina acted brillantly in it.
Like others I'mma attribute her success to Salman Khan. I'm not saying he did everything but he definately helped her along the way in the beginning of her career, got her with all the right people and now shes paved her own way.
Still waiting for Katrina to prove herself as an actress though.
