Katrina Kaif has opened up about the changes she experienced after becoming a mother and how her definition of beauty has evolved over the years. The actress, who welcomed her son Vihaan with husband Vicky Kaushal in November 2025, recently spoke about skincare, health and finding time to switch off.
Katrina Kaif made a rare public appearance during Ganpati celebrations, after which some social media users compared her pre-pregnancy and postpartum pictures and made negative comments about her appearance and weight. Actors including Ali Zafar, Sonarika Bhadoria and Shivaleeka Oberoi came out in her support and slammed trollers.
In a recent interview, Katrina Kaif spoke about how pregnancy affected her skin. She revealed that her skin became more sensitive after giving birth, making it important for her to carefully understand which products suited her. She said that during this phase, she preferred skincare products that were gentle, soothing and helped her skin recover.
Katrina also explained how her idea of “looking your best” has changed since the beginning of her modelling and acting career. Earlier, she felt that the industry had many fixed ideas about beauty standards. Today, she believes looking good is more about feeling healthy and taking care of herself as a whole.
Katrina Kaif said that maintaining a healthy diet, controlling inflammation, staying physically active and practising meditation all contribute to how she feels. She also highlighted the importance of spending an hour in the morning without using her phone and getting natural light early in the day. According to the actress, when a person feels healthy and confident from within, it naturally reflects on their appearance and skin.
Katrina Kaif also spoke about what helps her feel like herself away from films and her business, Kay Beauty. Spending quality time with family and friends helps her reconnect with herself, although she admitted that she has to consciously make an effort to switch off.
Katrina said she is naturally used to constantly working and creating something, whether it is related to films or Kay Beauty. Because of this, she believes taking breaks and disconnecting from work are important for recharging.
She also pointed out that with so much information and entertainment available through digital platforms today, creating moments of silence and stillness has become increasingly important for maintaining a calm mind. For Katrina Kaif, motherhood has brought a new perspective on beauty — one that focuses less on appearance and more on health, confidence, balance and feeling good from within.
