“She is very honest. She will say how it is,” Vicky said in an interaction with Kareena Kapoor Khan for The Hollywood Reporter India, adding, “But sometimes, she will be a little careful because whatever it is, there is a lot of hard work that has gone into it. You have to be sensitive towards that... but mostly she is straightforward, which I actually love. After a film screening, it is very rare to find that kind of feedback — this was good, this was bad, this you could have done better.” ... While Vicky appreciates Katrina’s honesty, he admitted that the same kind of feedback doesn’t always sit well with her. “It’s the same over here. She wouldn’t want that either. First step has to be encouragement,” he said with a laugh, agreeing with Kareena, who mentioned that she wouldn’t want her husband Saif Ali Khan to be that brutally honest about her performances either."
It's an excerpt of what was said (from the Times E article) which I actually can best relate to. It never will be easy to get told by your partner in life how he/she found your acting already when only one is an actor/actress... it takes a certain amount of self-confidence to appreciate honest words about the impression your acting makes on the person(s) you are the closest to.
Katrina - in no way - is confident about her own acting skills - that's why I find the "encouragement" approach very positive (like it was nicely done in Zero). I'm not astonished about the imbalance of accepting criticism when both partners are filmstars.
