If media had had it their way, they would surely have found a similarity or a connection between Mohammad Kaif and Katrina Kaif. Since the mid-2000s the identity of the Bollywood actress has quite been a rage for a particular section of media when she made her Bollywood debut in the movie ‘Boom’ in 2003.
Since then, people have been finding ways or connections to have any or some connection between the two. In a recent incident, when former Indian cricketer Mohammad Kaif hosted a ‘Question and Answer’ session, i.e. #AskKaif, on Twitter, such questions were bound to prop up.
While beginning the chat session, Mohammad Kaif on his Twitter account wrote, “Looking forward to interacting with you all in a few hours’ time. You may send your questions using #AskKaif.”

However, in no time, a Twitter user, by the username @KyaUkhaadLega, propped up the most-anticipated question. Is there any connection between Mohammad Kaif and Katrina Kaif? Here's what he tweeted:
Sir are you related to Katrina Kaif ? If not, then do you think there’s a chance in the future ? ;) #AskKaif

Players in the past have had such chat sessions with fans on different social platforms. Former Indian cricketers Virender Sehwag, VVS Laxman, and Aakash Chopra have all conducted question and answer sessions before. With the recent #AskKaif episode one thing is for sure, people aren't (read: shouldn't) going to link Mohammad Kaif and Katrina Kaif anymore.
