Personal life
Background
Kaif was born in Hong Kong, to an Indian Kashmiri father, Mohammed
Kaif,and an English mother, Susanna Turcotte,who is a British citizen.
Her parents divorced when she was very young. Kaif once stated, "My dad,
unfortunately, and not out of choice, has had no influence on our
upbringing, on our religious or social or moral bearings." When she came
to India, she changed her surname to that of her father's, Kaif,
because it was Indian in origin. Furthermore, Ayesha Shroff has
maintained that the actress' original name is Katrina Turquotte. She
also claims that they gave her the Indian father and also the surname
Kaif after cricketer Mohammad Kaif as he was on top at that time. She
adds that they also had thought her naming Katrina Kazi. From Hong Kong,
she and her family moved to China, then to Japan. From there she went
to France when she was 8, and thereafter lived for a few months at a
time in Switzerland, Poland, Germany, Belgium, and other European
countries. Then she moved with her family to Hawaii, and eventually to
her mother's home country of England. Although it is often assumed that
Kaif is from London, she lived there only for three years before finally
moving to Mumbai.Kaif's personal life, including her romantic
relationships, has been a great subject to the media. After years of
speculations Katrina Kaif admitted in an 2011 interview for a magazine
that she was in a serious relationship with actor Salman Khan for
several years, which ended in 2010.
Though born to a Muslim father and Christian mother, Kaif's religion is
unknown. However she visit various religious places mosques, temples,
churches and Sufi Shrines. Kaif once stated in an online interview that
she always wear a Taweez.

Kaif studied in various countries. Her mother worked in NGOs and so
moved to many countries like Hong Kong, Hawaii, France, Germany, China
and Japan. She pursued her engineering studies in London at age 17, but
she was not interested in that field. Instead, she wanted to be in the
fields of modeling and the glamour industry. In an interview in the
Times of India, Kaif stated that she came to India to search for her
career at the age of seventeen. Her philanthropic work includes her
association with an NGO her mother works for, the Relief Projects India.

for all of her films since New York. Earlier, she had dubbed for films
like Namastey London and Singh Is Kinng
