- Katrina Kaif spoke about ‘not having a father figure’ growing up.
- The actor said it created a certain ‘vacuum’ in her life.
- When she has kids, she wants them to have the experience of being with both parents.
In a 2019 interview, Katrina Kaif discussed how she “grew up without a father figure” and how this left a certain “vacuum” in her life. It may “make any girl feel vulnerable,” the actor remarked, and she went on to say that when she has children of her own, she wants them to “have the experience of being with both parents.” Katrina discussed her mother Suzanne Turquotte, who raised seven kids and a son all by herself, in the same interview. She acknowledged that it “must have been tough” for her mother, something she only realized much afterwards.
Katrina mentioned questioning her mother Suzanne about having “so many children” and how she managed to raise them all by herself. In addition, Katrina said that her mother had recently talked to her about her life, which the actor said “has been much more helpful” to her.
In a 2019 interview with Filmfare, Katrina was asked if she ever asked her mother what she was thinking when she gave birth to seven girls “I did, I do. I asked her how she managed to raise so many kids on her own and what she was thinking when she had so many. But over the past few years, I’ve found that the advice my mother gave me about life has been much more valuable. It has more significance. You can see things from a distance now, and you realize how difficult it must have been for her.”
The fact that her parents were estranged, according to Katrina, “had a part to play” in how she managed her personal life. In December 2021, Katrina wed actor Vicky Kaushal. In the same 2019 interview, when asked if she sought for strong male role models in her relationships or even outside of them, perhaps in a friend or director, Katrina had responded, “I don’t believe I did. People often say that if you can count your true friends on one hand, you are lucky. My reliable, close group of buddies are familiar with me. They comprehend your perspective, your worries, and your vulnerabilities. Of course, the fact that my parents were estranged played a role. My mother was the mother of a son and seven girls.”
Ishaan Khatter and Siddhant Chaturvedi were also in the movie Phone Bhoot where Katrina last appeared. The movie was produced by Excel Entertainment, a company run by Ritesh Sidhwani and Farhan Akhtar, and directed by Gurmmeet Singh. The next movie starring Katrina and Vijay Sethupathi is Sriram Raghavan’s Merry Christmas. In December 2022, the film’s initial poster was made available. Katrina will also appear in Tiger 3 with Salman Khan.
