- Surekha Sikri, the revered actress, hailed from Uttar Pradesh, spending her formative years in the picturesque locales of Almora and Nainital. Born to a father in the Air Force and a mother who was an educator, Sikri's early life was shaped by a diverse and dynamic environment.
Married to Hemant Rege, her family expanded to include a son named Rahul Sikri, an accomplished artist based in Mumbai. Notably, Surekha Sikri's family ties extend to the world of cinema, as the acclaimed actor Naseeruddin Shah is her former brother-in-law. This familial connection arises from Naseeruddin Shah's first marriage to her step-sister Manara Sikri, also known as Parveen Murad.
Surekha Sikri's journey in the world of entertainment commenced with her debut in the 1978 political drama film "Kissa Kursi Ka." Her acting prowess found expression not only in Hindi and Malayalam films but also in the realm of Indian soap operas.

A stalwart of Hindi theatre, she earned recognition with her performances in the political drama "Kissa Kursi Ka" (1977) and went on to portray impactful supporting roles in various Hindi and Malayalam films, as well as Indian soap operas.
Surekha Sikri's remarkable contributions were acknowledged with the National Film Award for Best Supporting Actress on three occasions, honoring her roles in "Tamas" (1988), "Mammo" (1995), and the acclaimed "Badhaai Ho" (2018). Her versatility also shone through in the television realm, where she received the Indian Telly Award for Best Actress in a Negative Role in 2008 for her portrayal in the prime-time soap opera "Balika Vadhu."

- Katrina Kaif is one of eight siblings, 7 girls and 1 boy, from a mother who is a Caucasian of British Nationality, and a father who was formerly from Kashmir, India, but who has since acquired British citizenship. Her mother is now re-settled in Chennai (formerly known as Madras), the Capital of the state of Tamil Nadu in India.
She spent subsequent years in Hawaii, and then in London, Britain, She started modeling accidentally when she was in Hawaii at the tender age of 14, when she was approached for a jewelry campaign. Thereafter she continued modeling in London.
Continuing to model was the reason she got her break in a Bollywood movie Boom (2003) offered by none other than film-maker Kaizad Gustad.
She was flooded with modeling assignments the minute she set her foot on Indian soil, especially with her innocent expressive face, hour-glass figure, and drop-dead gorgeous looks.
Professionally she started off as a model with photographer Atul Kasbekar, and upon being accepted, she received offers from LG, Cola, Fevicol, Lakme, & Veet. It was the Lakme commercial that got her noticed. She retained Matrix as her Manager to accept work on her behalf and at the price she deserved.
Moving to different culture and country was not much of a culture shock for her, as she states that no matter where you come from, the bottom line is that everyone wants to be loved, respected, and cared for.
Despite of her positive attitude, she had been stereotyped as "Indian" by extreme right-wingers in Britain who made it clear that she did not quite fit-in with their "Blonde" Caucasian culture; while on the other hand in India itself she had been ranked as an 'outsider' very much like Sonia Gandhi.
Unlike other artistes from foreign lands, Katrina did not experience any difficulties in getting a visa nor of getting it extended in India.
Although linguistically challenged, Katrina puts on a bold face and states that other Bollywood artistes like Sridevi, who did not know Hindi, did get offers from Bollywood film-makers, and she is no different. She has taken Hindi and dancing lessons to fit in with the Bollywood culture. She likes to display a picture of her learning Kathak dancing where she used to dance 7 hours a day non-stop.
Adorned with soft gorgeous looks, she is not easily intimidated, but admits that she is very emotional, sensitive, and concerned about her privacy, Almost an incurable romantic, she prefers to wear comfortable non-revealing clothes when at home, hates to do her hair, and above all dislikes make-up. Admitting to being lonely in the beginning, but now has several friends who she can hang out with.
Although her first movie Boom (2003) was panned by the critics and shunned by the audiences, two other Telugu movies Malliswari (2004) and Allari Pidugu (2005) did get her noticed. She grossed 70 Lakh Rupees for Malliswari (2004) - making her top the list of the highest paid actresses during a South Indian movie debut.
Not done with South Indian movies, she has been signed in a Tamil movie 'Bheema' opposite National Award Winner Vikram.
She has received decent reviews for her part in "Maine Pyar Kyon Kiya", as well as a brief appearance in 'Sarkar'.
Katrina had made Mumbai her base, didn't mind singing and dancing around trees and as a result is now one of the biggest mega-stars, perhaps one of the highest paid female-lead actresses in Bollywood, and a crowd-puller whenever she makes an appearance for a live song and dance number.Zero - Gunshot
