Katrina Kaif revealed she grew up believing that beauty was defined by what she saw in publications and that she was “conscious” of her appearance.
Katrina Kaif admitted that she used to be self-conscious about her beauty and felt that her features were not ‘perfect.’ She went on to say that she was the one seeking to meet society’s beauty standards.
Katrina stated in an interview that her perception of beauty was influenced by what she saw in publications and that she thought she “didn’t quite fit in.”
Speaking to Cosmopolitan India, Katrina said, “I grew up thinking that there is just one kind of beauty—it was what you saw in the magazines, and if you didn’t conform to that, then you didn’t cut it.
I used to be rather conscious about the way I looked because I felt like I didn’t quite fit in. Today, people might find that admission a little strange, but back then, I felt that there were things about my features that were not ‘perfect’. I realise now that I was the one putting this pressure on myself,” she said.
The actress added that she personally selects the women that appear in her beauty brand advertisements since she is under the influence of beauty standards.
“And I’m not searching for people who look ‘different’, I just realise that each and every single person in the world is different. There is no one type of beauty—no specific skin tone or shape or features…every single person is unique and that’s what I want to show,” she added.
