Katrina Kaif and Ranbir Kapoor broke up in 2015. The couple was one of the most loved in the industry, however, post their break up, the news came as a shock for the netizens. However, what’s more, Katrina Kaif has always been so cordial and open about her opinions and experiences post her breakup. She even in a throwback interview with Vogue called it as a blessing.
In the interview with Vogue, post her break-up, she said, “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 added, “I now see it 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,”, as quoted by DNA.
Also in an interview with Mumbai Mirror, later, she spoke about how she coped up with the breakup, “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.”, she added, “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,”
The actress also said that she is a Cancerian and therefore by nature, she is extremely emotional, and nothing is going to change that any further, “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.” she added, “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,
