Katrina Kaif isn't just an actress. She's a phenomenon. A regular fixture on polls listing the most beautiful and sexiest people, the actress has captured our imagination with her various avatars in her films over the years.

As Kat gears up for the release of her new film Zindagi NA Milegi Dobara this Friday, we revisit her boldest avatars till date.

Take a look.

Boom

A 19-year-old Katrina made a rather daring debut in Kaizad Gustad's film. The film was panned but images of a hot, exotic model trying to break into Bollywood stayed with people.

The infamous steamy scenes with Gulshan Grover did the trick too.

Katrina Kaif plays an activist in New York, who's madly in love with her college sweetheart Sam (played by John Abraham).

The love scene between the two was quite a hit, just like the film.

When Katrina gently caresses a mango and proceeds to eat it, people stop whatever they are doing to watch.

Mangoes and Katrina are clearly the two irresistable temptations for Indians.

Any man would be willing to pit his life on the line if he stands a chance to have Katrina for a life-partner. The actress was at her hottest best when she gyrated to Ek Uncha Lamba Kad in minis and shimmery dresses with Akshay Kumar in Welcome.

We were smitten.
