Speaking of how her casual meet-ups instantly become the talk of the town, Katrina said, `Throughout my career, there's been such prominent talk about the friendships or relationships I've had in my life, so that when you speak or when you're spoken about in the media it's in the context of another person and with another person.`
Being single for the past two years, without having another name attached to her has also been an intense time for the actor. But Katrina has made it out in style with new found courage. She explained, `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, 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.`
Addressing her much-talked-about breakup with Ranbir Kapoor, Katrina added that she now sees it as a blessing because she was able to recognise her patterns and thought processes. She continued, `I could see things from a whole different perspective.`
`I now see it (the breakup) as a blessing because I was able to recognise my patterns, thought processes and things that I had been so sure of my whole life. I could see them from a whole different perspective,` she told Vogue.
`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,` she said.
Katrina will be next seen in Zero along with Shah Rukh Khan and Anushka Sharma. She is also shooting with Salman Khan for Bharat!
