It does create a certain vacuum and makes any girl feel vulnerable: Katrina Kaif on not having a father figure in her life

Katrina Kaif is neck deep into the promotions of her upcoming film Bharat, co-starring Salman Khan. The film releases this Eid, June 5, and also stars Disha Patani, Jackie Shroff, Sunil Grover and Sonali Kulkarni. During a recent interview with a leading magazine, Katrina talked about how there was a missing father figure in her family and pointed out that it did create a vaccum. “Not having a father figure does create a certain vacuum and makes any girl feel vulnerable. When I have kids, I want them to have the experience of being with both parents," she told the magazine, adding, “Each time I’ve gone through something emotionally hard, I was compelled to reflect that it must be nice for those who have a strong fatherly support from a male figure, who loves you unconditionally.”

For the unversed, her mothe Suzanne brought up her eight children (Katrina's elder sisters - Stephanie, Christine, and Natasha, apart from three younger sisters - Melissa, Sonia, and Isabelle - and an elder brother named Michael) single-handedly. Talking about it, Katrina explained how it would have certainly been difficult for her mother to raise a family alone. "I asked her what were you thinking when you had so many children and how did you do it on your own. But in the last few years, what my mom had to say about life, has been much more helpful to me. It bears more weight. Now that you can see things from a distance, you realise it must have been tough for her," she quipped.

Last but not the least, the actress spoke about growing up with her siblings and said she was a quiet girl, who kept to herself. In her words, she was 'an extremely introverted Cancerian'.

On the work front, Katrina featured in Shah Rukh Khan’s Zero and Aamir Khan’s Thugs of Hindostan in 2018.
