I LOVE him for saying that. And I am all for age difference when it comes to true love, but the misogyny in BW is jarring and downright unpalatable, not to mention odd to watch on-screen. And a classic example of it was the odd pairing of Akshay and Manushri in Prithviraj Chauhan 🤢

Interesting interview I came across of Kat:


“I am a Cancerian,” she says, “and Cancerians don’t like discussing their private lives. I also don’t buy the argument that filmstars’ private lives are fair game for the public.”


“My father is not an influence, he was not part of our family; my parents separated when I was very young and I have never met him since.”


“I am sure if some psychoanalyst lay me on a couch and probed hard and long, they could prove I was sad, but actually, at most, the lack of a father means I am drawn to older men, men who have lived life and have some experience.”


“We never lived anywhere for more than two years and we did not have a great deal of stability, or physical security and comfort, but we led a very culturally diverse life. That’s an unbeatable way to be prepared — I don’t think you can’t get a better education than that. I have seen so much and lived in so many cultures, nothing shocks me. You can throw me anysociety where and I will adapt,” says she. Her mother and she are obviously close — “The biggest thing I learnt from her is to be completely non-judgemental” — yet ask her for any tactile details of her childhood and she’s hard put to come up with answers. “I’ll have to ask my sister,” she says. “All I can immediately remember is being snowed in for months in Japan [she hates the cold], and being terribly sea-sick on a long ship-ride to Europe.”


A single dynamo then seems to drive Katrina and her choices: the need to make money and forge stability. “She wants to be the man in her family,” says Shetty. “She wants to secure things for her siblings. She understands that there is a limited run that actresses can have and she is determined to make the most of it. Everything is planned out.” Katrina agrees. “It takes intelligence to recognise that cinema is just cinema. My mother never planned materially for the future. But I feel the need to stabilise myself. I need physical security — I can’t roam around and say, oh, we’ll all be fine. I need to work on building security for my sisters for sure. I could not go to film school, but I want to ensure my sister can.”


“I love comedy films. I love playing these light characters. It gives me a chance to be a teenager and have all the fun I missed out on. I feel old because of all I’ve been through, but I am just 24. I never had any boyfriends when I was young, I was gangly, all arms and legs, and then I started working. I like being carefree now. I love the songs! In any case, it takes intelligence to understand every career path is different. I was an alien here, yet I was certain I wanted a mass audience, distributors and producers to bank on me. To get there, if I have to do films that involve four songs and not playing a character that will go down in history, so be it. At 40, when my career span is done, I don’t want to say, I don’t have a house and I don’t have any money, but it’s okay because I didn’t play any so-called bimbo.”

She had a plan. Announcement pe jo “patriarchal” media articles aayenge unpe befitting reply deke mast Bollywood’s first working mom feminist queen banoongi. But us type ke criticism aaye hi nahi, toh gusse mein she clutched at the tiniest straw and battled the archake worldview.smiley36
