1. Jasmeet Singh In ‘Namastey London’

This film undoubtedly marked Katrina Kaif's breakthrough role. Despite making her Bollywood debut in ‘Boom’ alongside Amitabh Bachchan and appearing in films like ‘Maine Pyaar Kyun Kiya’ and making a cameo in ‘Sarkar,’ it was with ‘Namastey London’ that Kaif truly showcased her acting skills.

2. Indu Pratap In ‘Rajneeti’

This particular role stood apart from the usual glamorous personas that we were accustomed to witnessing Katrina Kaif portray on the silver screen. In this movie, Katrina portrayed the intense character of Indu Pratap, who undergoes significant transformations throughout the film. Enduring unrequited love and a loveless marriage, she becomes entangled in the murky world of politics, which brings both pain and an opportunity for her to rise to the position of chief minister. Her portrayal convincingly captures the journey of her character, as she evolves from a simple young woman to a formidable individual who finds strength after experiencing a tragedy.

3. Dimple Dixit In ‘Mere Brother Ki Dulhan’

While Ali Abbas Zafar's film may not have excelled in terms of its storyline, Kaif's performance undeniably shone. Portraying Dimple, a spirited, outspoken woman with a kind heart, Kaif captivated audiences. Although the movie received mixed reviews, Kaif's carefree depiction of her character earned her recognition, including a nomination for Best Actress at the Filmfare Awards, further highlighting her versatility as an actress.

4. Zoya In 'Ek Tha Tiger'

‘Ek Tha Tiger’ served as the film that demanded everyone's attention and showcased Katrina as a promising upcoming action star. The movie encompassed all the necessary elements for such a role – a spy from a neighbouring nation? Absolutely. A girl embarking on a covert mission involving classified nuclear intelligence? Indeed. In the film, Katrina brought to life the character of Zoya, an ISI agent who finds herself falling in love with Tiger (Salman Khan), an agent from RAW, while both are engaged in a critical national assignment.

5. Laila In 'Zindagi Na Milegi Dobara'

Although 'Ek Tha Tiger' wasn't the starting point of Katrina's action journey, it undeniably laid the groundwork. In the film, she portrayed Laila, a wanderlust-driven adventurer who earns a living as a scuba diver and embraces life to the fullest. While the movie primarily focused on its male characters, Katrina's portrayal of Laila was noteworthy. She effortlessly held her own amidst the film's three male leads - Abhay Deol, Farhan Akthar, and Hrithik Roshan, leaving a lasting impression.
