Katrina Kaif has long been one of Bollywood’s most celebrated actresses, carving a space for herself in the industry over the past several decades. Beyond acting, she has also successfully ventured into entrepreneurship with her own makeup brand. In a recent interview, she reflected on her journey and the lessons she has learned along the way.
When asked what advice she would give to her 13-year-old self, Katrina Kaif expressed admiration for the confidence and innocence of her younger years. She shared, “There’s so much I could imbibe from my younger self. Looking back, I was 18 in such a massive industry with absolutely no connections. I was extremely naive and innocent, but I had so much belief. And you know what I didn’t have? Fear. I wasn’t perplexed by nagging doubts. The absence of fear and judgment was freeing. I think that’s something I would take back from my younger self.”
Reflecting on her dual role as both an actor and an entrepreneur, she spoke about the similarities between the two fields. She explained, “I’ve carried many similar traits from being an actor into being an entrepreneur and a business owner. I’ve learnt that it’s important in business to listen, and the same applies to acting. You have to really listen to collaborate.”
With a career spanning decades and a flourishing business venture, Katrina continues to evolve, embracing both her artistic and entrepreneurial pursuits with the same determination and fearlessness that defined her early years.
