Career
Kaif's London model work led to her discovery by film-maker Kaizad Gustad, who gave her a part in his film Boom (2003). She moved to Mumbai and was offered a number of modelling assignments. However, film-makers were at first hesitant to sign her because she wasn't able to speak Hindi.

She played the role of Saif Ali Khan's secretary who is secretly in love with him. She appeared next in Anees Bazmee's box office super-hit Singh Is Kinng alongside Akshay Kumar for the fourth time.
