Katrina Kaif said letting social media narratives dictate life can affect self-worth. She spoke at a London event after facing online criticism regarding her postpartum appearance. Salman Khan also defended her on Bigg Boss 20. Katrina and Vicky Kaushal recently welcomed their son Vihaan on November 7, 2025, in India.
Katrina Kaif has chosen to ignore the noise on the internet as she successfully leads a leading beauty brand while raising her son Vihaan. Though she is yet to announce her next movie, the actress and founder of Kay Beauty has been making headlines for the right reasons. Recently, Katrina attended Ambani Ganesh Puja with her husband, actor Vicky Kaushal. A section of the internet mocked her for her postpartum physical changes. While she did not address it directly, she spoke about opinions of people on the internet.
During an event for Kay Beauty in London, Katrina opened up about social media perceptions. She said, “I think we really need to be careful of letting narrative on social media affect our self-worth and value because there are so many opinions out there. If we’re going to start to cater to all of them, it really hampers your ability to make choices for yourself. Personally, for me, every time that I faced critics or comments, if I let that dictate my actions, I think I would have been paralysed with fear and unable to move ahead in my life.”
Salman Khan was the first to take her side on Bigg Boss 20. On the Weekend Ka Vaar episode aired on September 19, the reality show host said, “Kisike failure pe mazak banana, mere saath bhi hua tha. Abhi bhi ho raha hoga - 'Buddha ho gaya hai'. Of course, 60 saal ka ho gaya; You can’t be Maine Pyar Kiya every time. What do you want to troll? Why do you troll joh pregnant hua hai? Pregnant hone ke baad everyone puts on weight.”
Katrina and Vicky, after dating for a long time, got married in 2021 at the Six Senses Fort Barwara in Rajasthan according to Hindu traditions. She announced her first pregnancy in September last year. On November 7, 2025, Katrina and Vicky announced Vihaan’s birth with a post on Instagram.
