Katrina Kaif addresses online trolling and body-shaming she has faced, saying that letting social media opinions dictate her life would have left her “paralysed with fear.” Speaking at a Kay Beauty anniversary event in London, she emphasizes that constant attention to online criticism can undermine independent decision-making and self-worth.
Several outlets link her comments to backlash following her public appearance at the Ambani family’s Ganesh Chaturthi celebrations after pregnancy. The reports also cite Salman Khan’s recent support, in which he criticizes people for commenting on her weight and appearance after motherhood. Free Press Journal adds that Salman’s remarks came after his televised reaction on Bigg Boss 20, where he defended her and underscored that weight gain after pregnancy is normal.
While the coverage focuses on her message about self-acceptance and being one’s own “biggest cheerleader,” it also notes her reflection that confidence can change across different phases of life. NDTV, Times of India and Free Press Journal converge on her core point: she urges people not to be controlled by online narratives, even when praise and criticism both circulate.
