Bollywood actor Katrina Kaif has opened up about her changing perspective on beauty and confidence following motherhood, saying that looking her best is now more closely connected to feeling healthy and taking care of herself as a whole.
In a recent conversation with The Hollywood Reporter India, Kaif reflected on the beauty expectations she encountered during her early modelling and acting career. She said those standards have evolved for her over time, with greater emphasis now on overall well-being rather than conforming to a particular appearance.
Post-Pregnancy Skin Changes
Kaif also discussed changes to her skin after pregnancy, describing it as more sensitive and saying she had to understand which products worked best for her. She said she began looking for skincare products that felt soothing, calming and restorative.
Her remarks came amid online discussion and criticism of her appearance following the birth of her son, Vihaan, with actor Vicky Kaushal. Reports noted that some social-media commentary focused on changes in her post-pregnancy appearance. Kaif herself did not directly respond to the trolling, instead discussing how her own understanding of beauty has changed.
“Feeling My Best”
Kaif said that her current approach includes a healthy diet, staying active, meditation, getting natural light in the morning and taking some time away from screens. She connected these habits with how she feels and with the condition of her skin.
Her comments highlight a broader conversation around changing beauty expectations after pregnancy, particularly for women who remain under public scrutiny. Rather than focusing solely on appearance, Kaif described confidence as something connected to health, self-care and feeling comfortable in her own skin.
