 * Her 1984 birthyear appear in reliable sources like India Today and CNN-IBN site. But I just watched her youtube video given in ref. At 14:27 she says I am 28 now. Youtube video date is 12 July 2011. This interview was recorded for to be broadcast on 16 July 2011, her birthday. So on 16 July 2011 she was 28. That means her birthdate is 16 July 1983. neo (talk) 11:40, 16 June 2013 (UTC)Noshinnira (talk) 03:38, 17 June 2013 (UTC)

you have only one source,but i have provided three,my given sources have outnumbered your one source.so lets just change it here is another youtube video link where salman himself at 2008 is stating that katrina is 24.so in 16th july 2013 katrina will turn to 29 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3RRJ6penqF0 and yes her famous birthday in 2008, when she turned 24, the news link is also there http://www.desihits.com/news/view/katrina-kaifs-star-studded-birthday-party-20080717 Noshinnira (talk) 03:53, 17 June 2013 (UTC)
 * Just adding, in that youtube video, she says "I'll BE 28 now" not "I am 28 now", so that kind of confirms that she was born in 1983. I was actually thinking that she's 1984-born, but this is clear confirmation from herself that she is 1983-born. Thoughts?? AB01 (talk) 07:48, 17 July 2013 (UTC)

Meshu

now here is another source an interview taken in 2011 and katrina herself stating that she is 27,so what does that mean???if her confession is not enough for you to change her birth year to 1984 insted 1983, i think i can't help it anymore http://articles.timesofindia.indiatimes.com/2011-06-29/news-interviews/29716644_1_yash-chopra-priyanka-film Noshinnira (talk) 12:00, 17 June 2013 (UTC)
 * That interview is dated 29 June 2011. Generally a person keep telling his/her age as of last birthday until next birthday. Her birthday was on 16 July 2011 so until that day she can tell her age as of 16 July 2010 i.e 27. neo (talk) 12:18, 17 June 2013 (UTC)

http://entertainment.oneindia.in/bollywood/features/2007/katrinakaif200307.html in this link katrina told er fans that she was 18,when she shot for boom,so just count her age, for all these years all these websites stated that she was born in 1984,and despite of my earlier youtube links where salman in 2008 stated that katrina was 24 then.i don't know really why are you being so much stubborn over only one youtube link. http://www.hindustantimes.com/photos-news/Photos-Entertainment/under30/Article4-920170.aspx http://celebrities.raag.fm/2013/03/katrina-kaif-harpers-bazaar-magazine_14.html http://www.bubblews.com/news/514209-katrina-kaif-on-why-marriage-talks-make-her-uncomfortable all of the sources say she is 28 years old even her ex-boyfriend also now if you intend to create confusion her fans can do nothing more. we will believe what 99% sources say not one source Noshinnira (talk) 15:46, 17 June 2013 (UTC)
 * I will believe her own words, not salman or any reputed media. Let other users take decision. I think after few days/few edits you will be able to edit article. Wait for comments of other users and take decision yourself. neo (talk) 16:55, 17 June 2013 (UTC)

i didn't understand i will be able to edit articles what do you mean by that? and okay you said in that youtube video she said i am 28 now,it was just just 4 days before her 28th birthday so isn't it normal that she would say that she was 28 because officially after 4 days she would turn 28.anyways you said you won't believe what salman said but katrina was also present during that interview and if salman was stating wrong thing she would have corrected him,wouldn't she?and again someone mishu kapoor provided source katrina kaif saying that she is 2 years younger than ranbir, ranbir himself is now 30 so katrina would be 28.and katrina herself said in interview a link that i posted that she was 18 when she shot boom.she completed her 10 years so she has to be 28 now.if you have her contact number lets just ask herNoshinnira (talk) 03:43, 18 June 2013 (UTC)180.234.44.32 (talk) 03:35, 18 June 2013 (UTC)
 * Generally a YouTube video does not suffice as a reliable source. Who knows what she meant when she said what she said? In this case (specially as a WP:BLP) we should have a published (YouTube technically isn't considered "published"), reliable primary source to attribute this change to. Until then, ❌.

 * ❌ None of the sources mentioned are reliable; so stop with this unreasonable request already. There is nothing new about a Bollywood actress hiding her true age, so just let the present source be. -- smaro jit  (buzz me)  06:11, 19 June 2013 (UTC)

now you are really getting on my nerves. earlier when it was said that you would only believe when she herself speaks,and when now i provided the interview when she herself stated her age. you are telling me to shut up. okay then lie to her fans if you are so much willing toNoshinnira (talk) 08:43, 19 June 2013 (UTC)


 * Actually, the present source returns a 404 error and the other is a Youtube video. Since we have two conflicting YouTube videos with different ages, then we cannot accurately determine a birthdate from this source, so it has been removed from this article per WP:BLP (and so we're not "lying to her fans" as was aptly pointed out). Once a reliable, published primary source is found, then it can be re-added citing the source. Jguy TalkDone 15:19, 19 June 2013 (UTC)

Age again
I was talking with a high ranking editor about disputes such as this. They said that we should list both dates with a foot note explaining that there are differing dates and give an example of the best sources of both. I propose that we add text such as this:

... born 16 July ... and a footnotes section like this:

==Notes==

I need help selecting the best sources to include for each year. See the first sentence of Sudirman for a clue as to how this would look. If this works, there are several other Bwood actress articles that could use this treatment. Comments please. BollyJeff &#124;  talk  14:56, 28 June 2013 (UTC)
 * Support It was on my mind. Thanks for putting in words. this youtube ref should be given for 1983 year. For 1984, there are many. neo (talk) 15:45, 28 June 2013 (UTC)
 * Are there any reliable print sources for 1983? BollyJeff  &#124;  talk  16:16, 28 June 2013 (UTC)
 * There are dozens of sites which state her birthdate as 16 July 1983 but I don't see any well-known site name or reliable source. It is strange but we need to decide whether to believe subject herself or other reliable sources or both. And I think, we should state fact that there is contradiction between her own statement and other sources. neo (talk) 16:42, 28 June 2013 (UTC)
 * I don't think this would be a good idea, as it may lead to avenues for people to start more discussions and bring up more disputes about this. WP:BLP states that We must get the article right. Be very firm about the use of high-quality sources. There is no measurable harm in keeping the birthdate of a living person out of an article, as Wikipedia likely has thousands of other articles without birthdates, some probably for the exact same reason. I oppose this proposal on the grounds of WP:BLP and more specifically WP:DOB. Jguy TalkDone 16:46, 28 June 2013 (UTC)
 * Without something in there, a date gets added just about every day by an editor anyway, usually with no source at all. Is that preferred? BollyJeff  &#124;  talk  16:58, 28 June 2013 (UTC)
 * It just happened again today. There are 193 watcher on here. Come on people, speak up. BollyJeff  &#124;  talk  00:21, 10 July 2013 (UTC)
 * BLP's must be correct. Having conflicting information in the article goes against the policies of BLP. If poorly or unsourced content continues to be added, then request for page protection would be the next step. Alternatively, the discussion could be listed at requests for comment to generate a clearer consensus on this issue. As a matter of fact, that's where I would take it as an administrator advised you that having two birthdates on a BLP would be the best course of action (especially when I've seen other similar situations where the conflicting information was just left out of the article).

Surname and Religion confusion
There is confusion about his surname. She was named Tarquotte as her father left them long time ago. We all know that their parents were divorced and there was no relation of her with her father. Infact, her mother raised her. It's not unexpected if she takes last name from his mother, though his father's last name is (as sources describe) Kaif, please see this article: http://hollowverse.com/katrina-kaif/ ; here katrina's quote: "My dad, unfortunately, and not out of choice, has had no influence on our upbringing, on our religious or social or moral bearings."

Maybe her name was something like "Katrina Tarquotte Kaif", maybe in her life she was called with her middle name "Tarquotte". But we can't stand on this unreliable thing, can we?

And about her religion everyone is confused. But several interviews proves that she is Muslim. On the other hand, some videos also proves that she respects all religion. But she should be Muslim as her father was, but as we are not sure about it, no one should argue. She is some kind of hybrid religious, Christan+Muslim- something like that, or none of them.

Reader feedback: The portion about Katrina Ka...
Ratri0202 posted this comment on 16 July 2013 (view all feedback).

"The portion about Katrina Kaif's father's identity and her surname is derogatory. There is no evidence to prove that Ayesha Shroff is telling the truth when she says she gave Katrina the surname 'Kaif' after cricketer Mohammad Kaif, or considered Kazi as a surname, except that Ayesha has claimed as much. Katrina herself has never endorsed this line of belief, so it should not be featured in this article. It is highly irresponsible on the part of an important website like wikipedia.org to feature such a piece of unsubstantiated gossip in the name of information. Request you to kindly take off that portion."

Any thoughts?

GrewalJ (talk) 19:33, 30 July 2013 (UTC)


 * If you look at this whole talk page, there is always contention about her father, her last name, her religion, her ethnicity, her citizenship, even her birth date. I just can't take it anymore. We should replace the whole article with: "She is a mysterious pretty lady who acts in Hindi films." BollyJeff  &#124;  talk  19:49, 30 July 2013 (UTC)
 * LOL Bollyjeff!! :P :P On a serious note, the paragraph has been well referenced, so I don't think that it is "unsubstantiated gossip"! -- smaro jit  HD 02:23, 31 July 2013 (UTC)

Age Verification
I have found a video interview which was taken in 2011 during the ZNMD promotions in which Katrina clearly says she turned 28 years old, which would make her 30 this year (as it would mean her birthdate is July 16, 1983). Please skip to 14:27 in the video (that is where she states it after the interviewer questions her how old she is turning, as they were celebrating her birthday).

 * Please read the sections above where this has been discussed. Most sources saying 1984 are low quality sources, or have been proven inaccurate. Many good quality source have said that she just turned 30 years old. Do the math; its 1983.  Can you give good high quality recent sources saying 1984 (hint: Koimoi is not one; I mean newspapers and such, or interviews with her such as the video cited)?

What's more reliable than Katrina herself admitting her age?? In that video she clearly stated she'll be turning 28, and this was in 2011, so that makes her 30 this year, and hence 1983-born. AB01 (talk) 07:34, 7 August 2013 (UTC)


 * She is also not 30 year—born 1983 [...] and not 29 year—born 1984 also, She is hiding her age ---> http://daily.bhaskar.com/article/ENT-is-katrina-kaif-hiding-her-real-age-4321788-PHO.html but i think that source—of DailyBhaskar is also not the essence of tact to prove her age. As, the summary indicated Almost two years back in an interview to a leading English daily, Katrina had revealed that she was 8 around the time the Berlin wall fell. And considering the fact that the Berlin wall fell in 1989, Katrina should be 32 today! She was 8 around, she does not said, she was exactly eight year old. If sources, indicated her as 30 year old—1983 [...] it is more reliable and accurate to insert it.

Her date of birth is 16 july 1984 not 1983

NisarvurdRehhman (talk) 13:41, 1 February 2014 (UTC)

❌ as you have not cited any reliable sources to back up your request. The article refers to this web-page which states she turned 30 in 2013 - which would mean she was born in 1983. I have no idea how reliable Zeenews is, but you would need to provide a reliable, independent, source before we would add 1984, and this would probably not result in the removal of 1983 - just a note that there is a dispute about her DoB - unless you can come up with several reliable, independent sources that state 1984 - Arjayay (talk) 14:11, 1 February 2014 (UTC)

Date of Birth
Kaif, DOB is not accurate, numerous sources are against the actual sources mentioning in Wikipedia. The Times of India indicated her age 27 on 2011 | 1 and 29 in 2013 | 2. Same happened for Zee news mentioned her age differently in 2014. 30 year old | 3 and 29 year old | 4. The Youtube source, is not acceptable as Youtube does not stand as reliable source, and we don't know the exact date and time the video was shoot. We have to start a discussion over her age again. Koimoi published her DOB as 16 July, 1984. | 5 as well as Bollywood life | 6. --- Cara desajeitado (talk) 18:17, 27 February 2014 (UTC)


 * I sure hope you read ALL of the threads above related to this first. It is really getting old. Yes, there are multiple sources, both reliable and not, stating different ages for her.  The only real solution is going to be to say that her birth date is this or that, but we are not sure. TOI and Zee are both considered more reliable than Koimoi and Bollywood life, but they can get it wrong sometimes, as you saw two contradicting Zee articles.  Also, learn some basic math; the TOI interview was made before her birthday that year, so supports 1983.  BollyJeff  &#124;  talk  18:40, 27 February 2014 (UTC)


 * Justify how TOI and ZEE are more reliable than others. And also clarify the exact date the interview was shoot. (unless you were the one who shoot it). If you're not sure about her DOB it is more logical to not mention it. That's sound completely dubious as numerous sites, wiki articles mention her 29 year old. I recommend to start a ANI thread just in case to exercise more appropriate ideas and guides. --- Cara desajeitado (talk) 18:50, 27 February 2014 (UTC)


 * TOI is an actual newspaper with reporters; koimoi is some kind of self-published website. You can read Identifying reliable sources to learn more. Again, please do the math first. Here are two more recent articles saying that she is 30 in EARLY 2014 (as in before her birthday, when she WILL turn 31)., .  BollyJeff  &#124;  talk  18:55, 27 February 2014 (UTC)


 * Here's a newspaper source indicated her | 29 year old in 2014.  --- Cara desajeitado (talk) 19:15, 27 February 2014 (UTC)
 * Okay, then look at my proposal at Talk:Katrina_Kaif. This is probably our only way out. You cannot just leave her birthday off, because someone will add it right back again every day.  BollyJeff  &#124;  talk  19:30, 27 February 2014 (UTC)


 * The youtube link should be a reliable source in this case; it is her, herself, revealing her actual age, and what's better proof than Kaif herself? So, she's said she's turned 28 in 2011. If there was a source where Kaif had contradicted this statement, and said that she turned 29 last year, or 28 in 2012 (etc), then that would mean that we'd need to cite both ages; because she has contradicted herself. But I have seen no reliable source where she has herself said that she was 1984-born. Even in the TOI interview, she says that she's "just 27" and this was dated June 2011 (hence, implying that she's going to turn 28 the following month). Anyways, we kind of do know the date of the youtube interview. This was during Zindagi Na Milegi Dobara promotions. The film released on 15 July 2011, and the date of upload is 12 July 2011; which is 4 days before her birthday. Also, just under the video, it says the interview was held on Monday (which is July 11). So, unless there is another source where Kaif mentions she's 1984-born rather than 1983-born, it should be ok to list her DOB as 16 July 1983. AB01 '' talk 05:41, 28 February 2014 (UTC)

The balance weights are the same for 1983 and 1984, it is more appropriate to mention both years with a footnote. So far, I can’t find any solution here. Cara desajeitado (talk) 07:26, 28 February 2014 (UTC)

"She is one of India's highest-paid actresses, and has achieved popularity due to her physical beauty"

Is the second half of that really encyclopedic? She's a model and an actress, would her physical beauty not be implied? It's a very un-encyclopedic statement.

I suggest changing it to simply "She is one of India's highest-paid actresses." --99.245.191.227 (talk) 02:16, 16 June 2014 (UTC)

Years active/ Modelling and film debut
Shouldn't the years active be 2003-present, because she didn't start professionally at age 14. I remember when Deepika Padukone had an infobox, her years active was 2006-present, even though she started modelling as a child at 8. Even with Vidya Balan - she started acting in 1995 (with Hum Paanch), but her infobox shows the years active as 2003-present (when she was in her first major role).

Filmography table
I'm adding back the filmography table for these reasons: -the main article is not too long (for instance, it's shorter than Priyanka Chopra's page) -we can't just have a separate page for one relatively small table. An intro (with refs) plus refs for each film of hers would have to be added, and unless someone is willing to do this, there's no point to have the page -her filmography table isn't that long anyway...she has 33 films, but has had no presence in major television appearances/documentaries/etc. like Rani Mukerji or Shah Rukh Khan -if we did have a separate page, we'd need to have a "selected filmography" section on the main page, and how would we go about doing that? She's been in 2 films only in which she's received Filmfare noms, so we can't do it that way. And if we only add her notable films, how would we choose, considering 80% of her films have been successful, and hence notable (we'd be adding practically every film back in to the main page) AB01 '' I'M A POTATO 09:18, 18 September 2014 (UTC)

Comment from 2nd GA Reviewer

 * (posted both to article talk page and to Talk:Katrina Kaif/GA2 in case one or the other eventually gets archived).


 * Comment: Just wanted to say this: I'd very much like for this article to be WP:GA quality, I want it to be WP:GA quality, and when I first saw the article without doing an in-depth read-through of the article text, I wished I could simply pass it as WP:GA quality. But unfortunately its tone was not NPOV and was more hagiographic in nature, and it suffered from major problems with writing quality, in particular over usage of commas. I think when this article gets to WP:GA quality at some point in the future, it will help with WP:BIAS by increasing the in-depth coverage of women on Wikipedia in quality articles. I wish the contributors the best of luck with further improving the quality of this article in the future. &mdash; Cirt (talk) 12:25, 10 October 2014 (UTC)

NPOV /Hagiography / WP:SYN / WP:BLP
copied from my talk page "I know it's pointless to try and reason with you, but since you are hell-bent on ruining someone else's contributions on Kaif's page, I'll give it a go. Firstly, the discrepancy on her date of birth has been widely discussed on the talk page, and the current version stands as per the consensus. So it's highly unfair to all of us who discussed on the topic, for you to go and change it without even posting the reason there. Next come the headings. There are numerous sources in the main body that first point to a breakthrough, and then to her achieving success, so no, the headings aren't "original" research. And when sources already exits it isn't my burden to point them out to you repeatedly. You need to be responsible enough to go see what the sources say before you begin one of your rampages on the article. Honestly, if you continue disrupting other people's hard-work without as much as a talk page message, it is utterly pointless for anyone to try and improve this encyclopedia. And oh, instead of your usual snide, sarcastic replies, it will be better if you actually think about what I said for a change and discuss with the contributors. -- KRIMUK 90  ✉  06:39, 29 December 2014 (UTC)

Didn't we discuss all this last time? Why is it that you get a sudden urge to ruin pages every now and again? The article follows the layout of FA/GA-class articles. Go and get a consensus against them, first. Don't just ruin ONE article by imposing your own opinions of what's acceptable content/layout. AB01 '' I'M A POTATO 07:56, 29 December 2014 (UTC)"

1) You were using fucking idiva to make claims that a living person was lieing - get real.

2) Per the GA "But unfortunately its tone was not NPOV and was more hagiographic in nature," - You know what makes the tone come off as hagiographic in nature? Repeatedly tossing around "success"  in section headings for one thing. (and that doesnt cover the WP:SYN issues of Wikipedia editors  analyzing several sources and saying " You know, those years from 2007-2008 were successful!!!" - you would need a source that makes that determination. )-- TRPoD aka The Red Pen of Doom  13:38, 29 December 2014 (UTC)
 * You cannot attach sources to section headings, so what you are saying is nonsense. The heading summarizes the content; this is allowed. BollyJeff  &#124;  talk  14:00, 29 December 2014 (UTC)
 * 1) then you use objective descriptors rather than subjective, or you have in the section a sourced comment that says "Her years from 2007-08 were successful (source that calls 2007-8 successful)" the headings summarize, but not make interpretations. -- TRPoD aka The Red Pen of Doom  14:11, 29 December 2014 (UTC)
 * FYI: the hagiographic tone was due to excessive quotations, which have been trimmed now. Why don't you get a consensus on all articles, instead of cherry picking? Reese Witherspoon's article mentions headings such as "Early critical success" and "Worldwide recognition". Angelina Jolie's article has "Breakthrough" and "International success". Same with other GA/FA-class articles. It is ok to summarise a section with a heading if it is supported by the sources and content in the text. If you feel so strongly about this, go get a consensus on ALL articles first. I'm going to try and follow FA criteria, not TRPoD criteria AB01 '' I'M A POTATO 23:17, 29 December 2014 (UTC)
 * it was due in part to excessive quotations. and in part to excessive use of unsupported superlatives.
 * And you start cleanup where you are. there is certainly NO policy or guideline that you cannot clean up one article until others are also cleaned up first. that is just nonsense. --  TRPoD aka The Red Pen of Doom  02:20, 30 December 2014 (UTC)
 * What is nonsense is us "cleaning up" on the orders of one particular editor. You are no one to dictate what is right and what is wrong. If the community decides something, we follow it. So you don't you get to decide what is important and what is not by simply glancing through and assuming you have all the answers. You don't WP: OWN the article neither have you constructively contributed to any article so far, so stop ordering people to follow what "you feel needs to be done"! None of the main contributors to this article care about your personal opinions on the subject. Also, featured articles are the "best articles in this encyclopedia", so we follow the format. If you think the format followed by those articles are not "good enough", then that's just your problem! -- KRIMUK  90  ✉  05:00, 30 December 2014 (UTC)

BLP issues again
Having checked the sources regarding recent edit warring over whether Katrina Kaif's father is Indian-Kashmiri or Pakistani-Kashmiri, I have found absolutely nothing to indicate anything other than his now being a British Kashmiri. There are no references as to whether he's Hindu, Muslim or Buddhist, so please desist from ethnicity POV-pushing.

In accordance WP:BLP, any interpretations as to his identifying as anything other than Kashmiri (and in deference to Katrina Kaif's reticence to have her private life delved into publicly), I've removed the 'Indian' and left it as Kashmiri. Coming up with your own evaluations of what 'Kashmiri' means in this instance is WP:SYNTH at best, and WP:OR at worst. Either way, it's a BLP violation. Please do not re-add any qualifier to the 'Kashmiri' description unless you have reliable sources. By RS, I mean sources that Wikipedia recognises as being known for their fact checking.

Thank you for your understanding and co-operation. --Iryna Harpy (talk) 03:16, 19 February 2015 (UTC)
