Katrina Kaif on Postpartum Body-Shaming, Beauty and Confidence After Motherhood

Katrina Kaif has opened up about how pregnancy and motherhood have changed her understanding of beauty, health and confidence, as she continues to face public scrutiny over her appearance after welcoming her son, Vihaan, with Vicky Kaushal.

In a recent interview, the actor reflected on how pregnancy affected her skin and daily routine. She said that earlier in her modelling and acting career, beauty was often linked to rigid industry standards, but her priorities have changed with time. For her, looking her best now means feeling her best and taking care of her overall health.

Kaif spoke about focusing on balanced eating, staying active, managing inflammation and practising meditation. She also highlighted simple habits such as getting natural light in the morning and avoiding screens during the first hour of the day, saying these routines influence how she feels and, ultimately, how her skin looks.

Her comments come amid renewed attention to her postpartum appearance and criticism of changes to her body. While she did not directly respond to the trolling, her remarks shift the conversation from chasing unrealistic perfection to prioritising wellbeing and self-confidence.

The discussion has also drawn support from former co-stars Hrithik Roshan and Ali Zafar. Meanwhile, Kaif has been focusing on her beauty brand Kay Beauty and has remained away from films since her 2024 release Merry Christmas, co-starring Vijay Sethupathi.
