😉 I love IF and it is hard to follow up my last topic. But, I will certainly try. I was reading an article that KAT is celebrating her 10 year anniversary in movies. Well, Badhai Ho Badhai. 🤓 I am just shocked that someone like her (she is just a pretty face and shakes that ass so well) can celebrate 10 years in BOLLYWOOD. Is she just plain lucky? I still don't get it. Even the best actresses (like Mahima?!!) didn't even last a decade themselves. Was it her association with Salman? 😲 Her good looks? 😳 Or her connections and marketing PR?! Is KAT just plain LUCKY to last 10 years! Please share your thoughts.

I think it is a combination of many things that have worked for her. Of course Luck plays the biggest factor.
In the beginning it was the whole "foreign girl". Everyone knows how people in India are so obsessed with foreign girls. That really worked for her. Of course being Salman's girl helps.
Then it was those string of successful films with Akshay that really got her noticed. Even thought she debuted in 2003, I would say it was around 2008 when people REALLY started paying attention to her. And then the whole Sheila thing happened and she became a big star.
I cant really put my finger on the "reason" Katrina has sustained in the industry, but once her "top" phase is over; I'll be able to after a come up with a better analysis when her reign is over.

i think what helped her was staying attached to hit movies. she was with akshay at the height of his career and his recommendation def helped. otherwise, who wouldve taken her when she had no acting to recommend her and not to mention no hindi either.
But, she did work hard. she worked on her dancing. its just been a constant high from thereon.

so yes...shes been lucky. Salman and Akshay helped her get where she is but she put in her effort as well to maintain that poisition.

I don't think anyone can survive for 10 years at the top or near-top position in an industry as competitive and unpredictable as Bollywood on sheer LUCK. Not possible. She had something which people liked to see on screen- fair skin, foreign element, spark, charisma, beauty.. whatever.

Nobody is just plain lucky.

Katrina is extremely hard-working, professional and a hardcore strategist. She knows what to do, when to do and who to do it with. Her script sense is as good as an Aamir's.

Her relationship with Salman was what got her into the spotlight, the rest as they is history.
