Katrina Kaif, who had earlier called her break up with Ranbir Kapoor a blessing, once again opened up about that phase of her life in a recent interview with Mumbai Mirror. She revealed that she took full responsibility for her part in the relationship and the thought that many women and girls go through the same emotion helped her deal with her own inner turmoil.
Katrina said, "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.
Katrina further said that she has always been emotional and she isn't going to change that for anyone. She continued, "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.
Last year, while talking about the positives of her life post her breakup with Ranbir Kapoor, Katrina had said in a Vogue interview, “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.”
“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," she had then concluded.
