Katrina: I try to support women who are around me as much as I can in my work space

Katrina Kaif is one of the leading actresses in Bollywood. She is counted among the actresses whose fame has reached to a different height. The actress has been signed opposite country’s superstars. She will be seen in Thugs Of Hindostan with Sana Shaikh, Aamir Khan and Amitabh Bachchan and Zero with Anushka Sharma and Shah Rukh Khan. During a media interaction, Katrina Kaif was asked about her equation with industry colleagues, to which Katrina said, “Recently, I’ve become more aware of this, even subconsciously, do we really support our contemporaries- in whatever industry you’re in? I try to support women who are around me as much as I can in my work space. Sometimes a competitive mindset can actually stop you from doing that.”

“Am I lifting up the women around me, am I doing what I can to support, encourage or to help them grow? Rather than just see what they can do for me, I do whatever I can to encourage them to better in their profession,” she added.


Katrina supports her friends which also includes Alia Bhatt. Talking about the same, she recently had said, “I feel proud of the work that Alia is doing. Honestly, I don’t know others very well. Are there movie roles and maybe a few endorsements that are going to Alia now, for which I would have been the first choice? 100 percent. And is that the way things work or the way things should work? Yes, they should. She is 22 and I am not.”

Jeevna Kaur Notay on meeting Diljit Dosanjh on stage and the moment she ‘couldn’t believe’

Highlights

  • Eight-year-old Jeevna Kaur Notay was invited on stage by Diljit Dosanjh after he spotted her dancing in the crowd at his Manchester concert.
  • The Leeds girl, who was born with a congenital limb difference, told Eastern Eye about the emotional moment and why wearing her pagh on stage made her proud.
  • Her father Surjeet Singh Notay explains how amputee football helped Jeevna find a community and why he hopes her story will encourage other families.

Eight-year-old Jeevna Kaur Notay arrived at Manchester’s Co-op Live on September 20 expecting to spend the evening watching her favourite singer, Diljit Dosanjh. Instead, the Leeds girl found herself on stage with the Punjabi superstar, microphone in hand, as thousands of people cheered her on. Jeevna had been dancing in the crowd when Diljit noticed her, waved at her and eventually invited her up. She proudly shouted his famous “Panjabi aa gaye oye!” before telling him she was from Leeds. The moment became one of the most memorable parts of the show when Diljit sat beside her and sang Ik Kudi.

For Jeevna, the experience was almost impossible to take in. “I felt really happy and excited,” she told Eastern Eye. “I couldn’t believe everyone was cheering for me!” When Diljit began singing Ik Kudi, she found herself wondering whether it was really happening. “I was just thinking, ‘Is this actually happening?!’” she said. “I was really happy and couldn’t stop smiling.”
