Katrina Kaif has turned 35 today. She has been working in the Hindi film industry for more than 15 years now and is one of the most sought-after female faces in Bollywood today. The actress is currently at British countryside with her family ringing her intimate birthday celebrations. Katrina reveals that this was the perfect time to meet her folks and be a part of their happiness.

The actress talked to a leading daily and opened up on many things both personal and professional. She expressed how liberating it is to be single again and why she has learnt to be at ease with the kind of work she does in Bollywood.

Recently, a clip circulated on the social media which showed Katrina handling a few trolls shouting hate comments against her loud on the streets of Vancouver as she passed by. In the interview, the actress talked about dealing with people who call her a 'non-actor' or demean her work by other means. She said, "There will always be a certain amount of negativity towards everybody and we shouldn’t give such people any mileage. It’s unproductive. It’s not that I will put my head in the sand and pretend that I don’t know what’s going around me, but I have a good understanding of what’s good and what’s not. I just have to be true to who I am. I can’t change what people think about me".

Katrina's stance on forgiving and forgetting is also quite clear. She added on the same lines, "You have to forgive and forget. If you keep that bitterness in your heart towards somebody, you are holding that emotion inside you, and you will experience its effects. So, even if you have been wronged, it will still be you facing those negative emotions. Also, most people are doing what they think is right for them, at that point. It’s hurtful, but that’s the way I see it".

On the work front, the actress has finished shooting for Aanand L Rai's Zero, which also features Shah Rukh Khan and Anushka Sharma with her. She, however, has to shoot for a song in the film.
