During the covershoot for Cosmo India’s 25th Anniversary issue, one of the first things I noticed about actor, entrepreneur, and covergirl Katrina Kaif was her keen eye for every tiny detail... Katrina wasn’t just there to play muse to the camera—she was actively involved in the lighting, in how the set came together, in how her body looked at every angle, the way a lock of hair framed her face...
It was later, when we met on a Zoom call for this interview, that I discovered some of the many layers that sit behind Katrina’s immaculate (and somewhat unapproachable) exterior. The fact that even in the face of deep exhaustion, Katrina is an incredibly charming interviewee, with a distinct tinkle in her voice (“It’s probably because of the delirium from being so tired right now,” she laughs). That this is a woman with remarkable drive, an indelible spirit, and a mind that is razor-sharp and astute. Or that, and this comes almost without warning, there is a beautiful, compelling vulnerability to Katrina that makes her so likeable, you want to hug her.
Read on for excerpts from the interview, where the actor talks about her life, her dreams, and her passions—namely, Bollywood, her incredibly successful beauty brand Kay Beauty, and finding balance and joy.
