The actor continued, “We all struggle with self-image and confidence issues. I think both society and social media puts a huge amount of unrealistic pressure on women to conform and to look a certain way. It’s subtle, but I think that does seep into your consciousness. It’s not that I’m sitting on a pedestal reminding others to love themselves for who they are. It’s also a reminder for myself, to celebrate myself, right?”

Katrina expressed how challenging it can be to maintain a sense of individuality amidst societal pressures, stressing the importance of self-belief, clarity of thought, determination, and understanding our own desires and goals. “I stepped into this industry when I was 17 and after over two decades, I’m not the same person I was when I entered, right? Your life experiences mould you into the person you become. The experiences life presents you with and your reactions to them is what makes you who you are,” she said.

Katrina was last seen in the film Merry Christmas opposite Vijay Sethupathi. The actor was also seen in Tiger 3 opposite Salman Khan and Emraan Hashmi.
