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.”
