At the NDTV Yuva 2026 session titled "Beyond the Role: Authoring Your Own Identity", Sobhita Dhulipala spoke about the criticism Katrina Kaif faced for her postpartum body.
She said, "Women are expected to be strong, women are expected to be sensitive, women are expected to be many things. And different women handle things differently, so there is no generic rule. Like when you say that public criticism is disappointing, I am sure it can be for many people; we are all human. We just deal with it in a way that makes sense for us."
