Filmmaker Kaizad Gustad discovered Katrina in London and gave her a part in his film Boom. It wasn't long before the acting bug bit Katrina who decided to take it up full time and move permanently to Mumbai.

This changed with the film, Namastey London,along side Akshay Kumar, in which she dubbed her own lines.[2]
