n the beginning, it was easy to imagine that Katrina Kaif was another model trying to be an actress. However, the fresh - faced girl from London - one of seven siblings - has transformed over the years and has taken her career from so-so to supersonic in an enviably short time.

On the cover of Vogue India for the fourth time this month, she's chosen to announce her transformation by abandoning her usual glam avatar and embracing her inner sexy grunge kitten. Inside the issue, she talks about her nomadic childhood, being the outsider and never being ‘the next best thing.’ From the girl-next-door look for her character in Ajab Prem Ki Gazab Kahani to playing a more mature woman in Rajneeti, Vogue.in looks back over the years of how she’s transformed.
