Unable to paste the interview cause some offensive slang word is there in the text.

Interesting interview but Jitesh is so confrontational with her.

I skimmed through the interview. I agree that Jitesh was being confrontational with her. She seemed to be so dignified through out the interview. I hate the way everyone makes her a punching bag.

It's an admirable interview. I do think Kat is working with Ranveer in 83.

some best bits

Did you ever go through that? What has your last relationship taught you?

I don"t have regrets about anything because that was also an experience, a journey. Had it been balanced, calm and stable, I wouldn"t have come to learn so many things. These are just wonderful experiences. My last relationship was an experience, which was extremely important for me at so many levels. I"ve gained a lot more maturity, more understanding. Now, I don"t have any fixed plan that this is how it has to go or this is how I have to be. That"s the openness I want to maintain. I don"t want to burden the other person or carry any baggage. It"s important for a person to maintain their identity, have your own goals and purpose in life and to protect the friendships you have.

How have you managed to remain friends with your exes, be it Salman Khan or Ranbir Kapoor?

You have to respect anyone, who has been in your life in the past. You"ve shared something with that person and you respect that. Also, holding onto past bitterness weighs you down. Life can be difficult enough; it can be trying enough on its own. Life"s going to bring obstacles and tough times, ups and downs. I"d rather go through the journey with a light backpack than a heavy suitcase of grudges and resentment. It ages you because your cells hold on to so many things.

Did the failed relationship leave you cynical?

If you"re bitter and cynical, do you feel good about yourself? No. So why be so? It"s in your own interest not to be bitter. Either you allow someone to make a mess of your life or you believe you know better than the whole world. Itís your choice, the way you want to see it. It"s hard. I have to work on this actively every day. You don"t succeed every day. But isn"t it a nicer way to live with the trust that a force is watching over you? Rather than wanting everything to be in your control.

Do you consider marriage as a patriarchal concept?

Not at all. I believe marriage is a wonderful thing. Romance is wonderful too.

^^Suffered career setbacks back then when she was thinking she will get married and let her personal life took over her career especially during 2014 and 2015 where she let go so many good scripts. Finally she learnt new things and got her career back on track

^^^^^wish i was like u kat bcoz i hold grudges forever😵

btw kat is really opening up with time.

I hope she finds someone who loves her and she gets married bcoz she really loves the concept of being married

But then what made you sign an out and out commercial film like Sooryavanshi?

I"m a person, who does things in extreme. Having said that, Rohit Shetty is a sensible filmmaker. He makes a particular genre of cinema. But he"s not a senseless maker. He"s created a whole universe on his own. He"s given us films like Chennai Express, which we remember for the characters. I thought out the decision of doing this film. I"m teaming up with Akshay Kumar after nine years (after Tees Maar Khan). Our onscreen pair has received a lot of love and success. As a team, weíre trying to create something special this time too.

^^^cant wait for this. Akki kat my fave pair ever!!!! Hope it is entertaining ❤️ I know people mock rohit but i love his movies. Paisa wasool

Can media houses stop equating sadness with depression. Not everybody who is sad or broken is depressed. Depression is clinically diagnosed. Also what was this question "Do you ask her what she was thinking when she gave birth to seven girls?" Also not her saying Salman and her have a respectful and healthy relationship. Lmfao..right. She's bouncing back which is great. Alludes to the fact that her relationship with Ranbir wasn't neither stable or calm. And she has definite 'daddy issues' esp when emotionally down as she admits here. No wonder she keeps going back to Salman when something majorly goes wrong in her life and why she was so desperate to be the Kapoor bahu in the first place. Even her mom wasn't around as much in her childhood.

Is it only me or others who found the tone of interview quite sexist?

You also attended Deepika Padukoneís wedding.

I wanted to. I"ve known Deepika ever since she walked her first fashion show. Before that, she was associated with the same talent management company as mine. I remember we having a chat about ramp walking. That time she was starting out as a model. Deepika and Ranveer (Singh) had extended a wedding invitation to me. So I wanted to attend. I didn"t analyse anything. People analyse too much.

Obviously, because you two have history

I don"t get all this at all. What does one gain out of it? Sitting on a mountain and holding on to what?

Wah wah .. how mahaan is she? If I roll my eyes any harder I will go back in time. 😒

I hope this was her last interview talking about anything related to that Potato Head. More than this, and i will start liking her less.
