Katrina Kaif recently shared her struggles with self-image during an intimate conversation with beauty icon Huda Kattan. In her YouTube series In Conversation with Kay Beauty & Huda Kattan, the actress opened up about her insecurities, particularly regarding body image.
While Katrina promotes self-love through her beauty brand, Kay Beauty, she admitted that self-doubt still creeps in. She confessed to feeling insecure about her appearance, especially when she feels she has gained weight. However, her husband, actor Vicky Kaushal, plays a key role in helping her cope with these feelings.
“I often find myself complaining about my physical appearance or saying I’m not happy with how I look, especially when I’ve gained weight. I don’t feel comfortable,” Katrina shared.
Vicky’s unwavering support helps Katrina regain her confidence. He often reminds her of the message of self-love that she shares with the world. “Aren’t you the one who keeps telling everyone it’s okay to be you?” Vicky asks. This gentle reminder encourages Katrina to reflect on her own advice and apply it to herself.
Katrina explained, “It’s like that gentle reminder, saying ‘Hey, this is what it’s all about.’ I have to apply that same kindness to myself.” Vicky’s words help her embrace her natural beauty, a message she promotes through Kay Beauty.
Dr. Madhur Rathi, a Consultant Psychiatrist at Yatharth Super Speciality Hospital, Noida Extension, emphasized the importance of positive support from partners when facing self-doubt. He explained, “Having a supportive partner can provide the empathy and understanding needed to navigate tough emotions. Their encouragement helps reinforce trust in one’s abilities, countering negative self-perceptions.”
A supportive environment can also strengthen willpower, helping individuals build resilience. Dr. Rathi added, “Knowing that someone believes in you can significantly impact motivation and mental well-being, promoting a healthier self-image.”
