Dubai: Actress Katrina Kaif has spoken about how motherhood has altered her perspective on beauty and skincare. Addressing the brand Kay Beauty's expansion into the skincare sector, the actress revealed her post-pregnancy skin challenges and daily routines. Kaif's remarks come in the wake of online body-shaming comments following her postpartum image.
Pregnancy had left her skin more reactive than before, necessitating a learning curve to identify products that soothingly, calmingly, and restoratively nurtured her skin, she explained. Kaif's concept of beauty has evolved from a modeling and acting career, where she faced rigid beauty standards, to now prioritizing feeling her best through overall well-being.
Her self-care rituals include a balanced diet, controlling bodily inflammation, regular exercise, meditation, morning phone-free hours, and beginning the day with natural light.
The importance of disconnecting from the constant demands of her career and business life was also emphasized. In today's digitally saturated world, finding moments of silence and stillness is crucial for mental calmness. Kaif and her husband, Vicky Kaushal, welcomed their son Vihaan in November 2025. The couple's appearance at Mumbai's Ambani family's Ganesh Chaturthi celebrations sparked body-shaming comments about Kaif's weight.
However, support came from fans and actor Ali Zafar, who questioned the entitlement of men to judge women's bodies against societal norms.
