Dancing Queen: Katrina Kaif

We don’t know if you’ve noticed – but Katrina Kaif can dance. You’ll see it in item numbers that outlive the movie (try recalling the name of the film that featured Sheila Ki Jawani); in cameos that eclipse the heroine (Priyanka Chopra was the female lead in Agneepath, not Chikni Chameli Katrina); in sequences where her sinuous moves force even Shah Rukh Khan to keep up (Ishq Shava has some of the most complex steps in recent times); and at nearly every live act that turns her moves into talking points for days.



Every major actress has crossed a dance or item number off her to-do list. Priyanka Chopra (Babli Badmaash), Kareena Kapoor (Fevicol), Sonakshi Sinha (Go Govinda) and Deepika Padukone (Dum Maaro Dum) have all strayed into what was once vamp territory. But it is Kaif’s dancing that has the audience collecting the remnants of their jaws from the floor.
