Katrina Kaif on break up with Ranbir Kapoor: Sense of self-worth comes from within, not from another person
Katrina Kaif
Katrina Kaif and Ranbir Kapoor may have broken up a few years back, but their relationship is still talked about. Post-break-up, Katrina went through a makeover of sorts. Known to be guarded in front of the press earlier, Katrina opened up and spoke about her relationship.
In a recent interview to a daily the actress again stated she took full responsibility for her part of the relationship and how she drew inspiration from several women who had been in the same situation.
"I had to break before I could proceed to rebuild myself. I had to unravel and feel everything that had happened I had to take full responsibility for my part in the equation, what I could and should have done better. And accept that the parts that I was not responsible for were not my problem."
"One thought that helped me when I was at my lowest was something my mom told me, 'So many girls and women go through the same thing; you feel you are alone, but you are not.' That thought was very comforting," she added.
Calling herself 'emotional' and someone who still believes in love, Katrina said it was important to understand self-worth. "I've always been emotional. I’m a Cancerian and a sensitive soul. I'm not going to lose that or change that for anyone. But what I have learnt is that as a woman, you must protect and maintain your identity. Your sense of self-worth comes from within and not from another person. You come into this world alone, and you leave alone. That’s something you should not lose sight of."
"I'm not saying be guarded in love. No, love with all your heart. Being in a relationship is beautiful and I have a lot to give to a person. But I know now that nobody else gives you your identity," she went on to add.
The actress, who is gearing up for the release of 'Bharat' in June, had earlier stated that how the break-up had made her realise her self worth. "It’s probably one of the first times in my life where I really had only myself to focus on. And when you focus on yourself, often, the first thing you realise is that you don’t really know yourself. It’s like a period of not knowing, a period of being uncomfortable because you’re seeing yourself in your raw form without embellishments and then accepting that you don’t really know who you are," the actress had told a magazine.
