Breakup With Ranbir Kapoor was Blessing: Katrina Kaif

Bollywood sensation Katrina Kaif’s recently released movie ‘Thugs of Hindostan’ was badly criticized by fans, but she took criticism positively and preparing for her much anticipated movie ‘ Zero’.

In an recent interview local publication she opened about her breakup with bollywood actor Ranveer Kapoor and called it a ‘blessing’. She said “it is as a blessing because she was able to recognise her patterns and thought processes. I could see things from a whole different perspective.” Speaking of how her casual meet-ups instantly become the talk of the town, Katrina said, “Throughout my career, there’s been such prominent talk about the friendships or relationships I’ve had in my life, so that when you speak or when you’re spoken about in the media it’s in the context of another person and with another person.”

Being single for the past two years, She explained, “It’s probably one of the first times in my life where I really had only myself to focus on. And when you focus on yourself, the first thing you realise is that you don’t really know yourself. It’s like a period of not knowing, a period of being uncomfortable because you’re seeing yourself in your raw form without embellishments and then accepting that you don’t really know who you are.”

While commenting on widely discussed movie #MeToo she said “The movement is shaking up the film industry. There won’t be a single person who is not checking themselves on if they have ever behaved inappropriately. They’re probably feeling fear as we sit and talk about it. And when fear comes into play, there will definitely be behavioural corrections.”

She concluded, “We all know that all across the world, there is a huge discrepancy in the amount of power women hold in the workplace as compared to men. That makes me think about the women who aren’t in big cities and not in a position to speak out or defend themselves. I do hope it will trickle down to other spheres — it’ll take time, but this is a start.”
