In the glitzy and glamorous world of Bollywood, fame and wealth often go hand in hand. The more opportunities an actor gets, the more fees they charge. One such similar tale is of an actress who entered the world of Bollywood without any godfather, had a rocky start, but today, she has carved a name for herself. She invented herself from a flop debutant to one of the top actresses. Besides being one of the most bankable actresses, she is also a business entrepreneur. Katrina Kaif: Early Life, Film Debut, and More
The person that we are talking about is none other than Katrina Kaif. Born on 16th July 16th July 1983 in Hong Kong. She had a tough childhood with her parents being separated while she was still very young. At just the age of 14, Katrina started working she started modelling. It was then that an Indian filmmaker, Kaizad Gustad, discovered Katrina Kaif and later cast her in her debut film called Boom. Although the film turned out to be a flop, Katrina captivated everyone with her beauty. But over the years, Katrina worked on her skills and proved that she is more than just a pretty face. In the year 2007, Namastey London was released. This film turned out to be a superhit, and Katrina Kaif was praised for her impeccable performance. This film further cemented her into being a successful actress. Later, she delivered many hits like Ek Tha Tiger (2012), Raajneeti (2010), Bharat (2019), and Zero (2018). Katrina's Life- The Entrepreneur
In 2019, Katrina Kaif took a bold leap from cinema and ventured into launching her beauty line, Kay Beauty. She collaborated with e-commerce giant Nykaa for the same. What's interesting is that Katrina did not impulsively launch her brand because of her goodwill and fame. She had already laid the groundwork. In 2018, Katrina had invested ₹2.04 crore in a business venture with Nykaa. By 2021, that investment had grown nearly tenfold, touching ₹22 crore. Kay Beauty turned out to carve a niche for itself despite the massive competition.
As per 2025 reports, in just six years, Katrina's brand has made its place among the best-selling cosmetic brands in the country. It earned a revenue of Rs 240 crore in 2025. Katrina Life Real Estate Investment
Besides this, Katrina Kaif had also invested in real estate. Before she tied the knot with actor Vicky Kaushal, she was residing in a Rs 17 crore duplex in the upscale Maurya House in Andheri West, Mumbai. She also owns a house in London which costs approximately Rs. 7,2 crores. Post-marriage, she resides in a lavish sea-facing Juhu apartment with Vicky Kaushal, for which the couple pays a whopping ₹6.2 crore lease over three years.
From having no godfather to becoming a top actress in Bollywood and owning her beauty line, Katrina Kaif has come a long way.

Oscar winners AR Rahman and Hans Zimmer have joined forces to compose the music for Nitesh Tiwari's upcoming film Ramayana, starring Ranbir Kapoor as Lord Ram, Sai Pallavi as Goddess Sita, and Yash as Ravana. In a recent interview, Rahman opened up about working on Ramayana's music. In a conversation with Connect Cine, Rahman was asked about entering the 'Rahman 2.0' phase and how he is keeping pace with the rapidly changing music industry. 'I think I am born everyday. The whole world is changing everyday. A few thoughts have to go and new thoughts have to come,' he said. The singer added that he ensures his core remains constant despite the changes. 'But, the core of me is the same. What I believe in and what we can do with my music and how I can share it with people who love me, accept, or don't accept me. My efforts and the whole intention are the same. But, there are many other changes happening because the studios are different, artistes are different, the way they are recording is different, the way we vibe is different and the projects are different too.'

'The first few sessions we had were great. The first session was in London, the second one was in LA, and the third was in Dubai. Wherever Hans travels, I also find a base there. He is very similar, I mean…how curious he is about the culture and how open he is to criticism. He also heads the narrative, where he says, hey I can't understand this, can I bring in a Western perspective?'

SSMB29, starring Mahesh Babu in the lead role, is currently in the making under SS Rajamouli's direction. As more details about the movie are yet to be unveiled, a recent report has revealed its plot, and here's what it says. SSMB29: Mahesh Babu starrer's leaked plot According to a report by the Tanzanian portal, The Citizen, it read, 'Inspired by Indiana Jones and African adventure classics, the film follows a rugged explorer who sets out on a high-stakes mission through uncharted terrain, battling nature, mystery, and a powerful enemy to uncover a long-lost secret that could change the world.' As SSMB29 is currently in production, the movie is reported to begin shooting in East Africa with Mahesh Babu being joined by Priyanka Chopra Jonas and Prithviraj Sukumaran. The shoot for the jungle adventure movie is expected to take place in the Serengeti first, and later move towards the Southern parts of Africa. More about SSMB29 Talking about the magnum opus, SSMB29 is touted as one of the biggest cinematic ventures ever envisioned in Indian cinema. Aiming to portray a never-before-seen experience, the movie is speculated to be made on a budget of Rs 900-1000 crore. Initially, the film was said to be releasing in theaters as a two-parter with the shoot going up until the end of 2026 and hitting the big screens in 2027 and 2028, respectively. However, we at Pinkvilla exclusively reported that the makers have moved away from the decision and will release it as a single film, likely with a long runtime. Apart from Mahesh Babu, the adventure film will have Priyanka as the co-lead with actors like Prithviraj and R Madhavan in key roles. Recently, it was also reported that similar to Kurchi Madathapetti, Mahesh Babu will have a solo dance number in the SS Rajamouli directorial. The track is said to be a massy number with several dancers alongside him. Moreover, it has been speculated that Mahesh Babu has decided not to use any body doubles for the adventure movie and will do his own stunts.
