Move over Aishwarya Rai Bachchan! Katrina Kaif could be the new number one actress in Bollywood. Her debut film Boom, in which she stars opposite Amitabh Bachchan, bombed and she was quickly written off, especially as she did not know Hindi.
But acquiring high-profile boyfriend Salman Khan was proved the turning point in her rapid rise to fame. But then one can't play down the fact that the British Asian Kaif’s last five films (Namastey London, Partner, Welcome, Race, Singh is Kinng) have all been blockbusters. The turn around has come as a surprise as her voice has been dubbed in all her movies and critics have consistently found her acting and dancing skills wanting.
Is this the ultimate triumph of mediocrity over real talent in beauty-obsessed Bollywood? Kaif herself is surprised at her success: “It is humbling. I am one of the few actors who have been given a second chance in this industry. I am extremely proud of all my films.”

From a fair perspective (seriously), I think few if any "Bollywood" actresses will ever achieve Ash's super-star/super-intelligent/super-talented (great singer, dancer, spokesperson, humanitarian, representative, etc.) status. She really is in another league of her own.

i so agree with you shallu. i don't why people like to compare the mediocre katrina with the beautiful aish. i think aish is a great actress and there's no fakeness about her. aish is the most beautiful actress!!! katrina is nowhere near!

it's strange that every time an a tom, dick and harry type actress has a successful film, people start comparing her with aishwarya. Please......give me a break. Katrina is not even a bit beautiful, faminine or elegent as Aishwarya. She can not be given any credit for success of Welcome or SiK.

thats not possible in any aspect.....plus all these movies had katrina in minimal roles and she surely cant act; she is not even a single bit as beautiful as aishwarya is...look at aish now leave alone when she was her age....she can never achieve what aishwarya has....aish is far better actress

Time will tell. Few successes with a hit actor do not make anybody number 1. It takes years of effort and sweat and roles of different type. Some of the movies like singh is King are really worthless.
