Quotes

Katrina Kaif

Actor speaking at a Kay Beauty event in London

“I think we really need to be careful of letting narrative on social media affect our self-worth and value because there are so many opinions out there. If we’re going to start to cater to all of them, it really hampers your ability to make choices for yourself. Personally, for me, every time that I faced critics or comments, if I let that dictate my actions, I think I would have been paralysed with fear and unable to move ahead in my life.”
