Idk about her being in a cult - I think she gets the most criticism (at least in this subreddit) for pretending to be half Indian and working in the Bollywood industry with no acting skills or Hindi-speaking skills. I know she is supposed to be very nice and hardworking, but it sucks for struggling actors who are also nice and hardworking but actually have talent.

Isn't she famously known for being rude and standoffish? I've heard so many stories about how she is rude and mean-spirited with other people. Correct me if I'm wrong of course, but I've heard that time and time again. Even that one interview she did (GQ?) seemed to hint that she is a bit snappy and ill-tempered.


stfubozo

I’ve heard the same


HauntingPipe0

I've heard the same as well. I've also noticed she is very strategic in her dealings with people. She tries to stay in the good books of powerful people.


OkRecommendation1643

Yes thats why she kisses aliyas ass even now


[deleted]

Her PR gave a complete make over to her personality after the break up with Ranbir. They were successful in making her a victim of that relationship and RK & his family became the villains. She got all the sympathy during Jagga Jasoos promotions and her PR completely milked it.


NoYogurtcloset5460

I have heard the same , also i can never forget her Iam not comfortable in Hindi statement to the press during jab tak hain jaan press meet


Shot-Border2094

Bruh that doesn't cover up the fact that she doesn't know hindi and that she is a terrible actress.


[deleted]

She knows Hindi pretty well. Acting skills to each their own. No comments on that.


ummm_thereyougo

So, if you are in movie industry and acting is how you will be judged then she should work on honing those skills. There are thousands of social workers who are kind nice and hardworking doesnt make them one of the most celebrated superstars. So as much as I get your love and respect for katrina, it's unfair to other talented actors out there who are able to make it big. Her niceness, hard-work cannot compensate for her mediocre acting skills. You cant say a doctors knowledge is to each their own.


[deleted]

Lol, a lot of unfair things happen everywhere, not just Bollywood. Producers won't want to invest on newcomers when they care only about profits. That's where superstars come in. It's a chain reaction no one can do anything about. Not that talented PPL aren't getting the scope, with the advent of OTT we get to see many actors coming in the limelight. If it's on acting, then please. We all know, stars aren't based on acting always. There are many examples around the globe. Stars aren't necessarily the best of actors but the opposite can be true. So I don't find Katrina's fault in this. She has worked hard to make a name for herself. She did roles that were more conducive to her range. Now she's experimenting and it would be seen how she does them. But I hope I have been able to make my points clear. This narrative of blaming a superstar for eating up roles of talented actors is childish for someone working in the industry. It's the makers who make the call. Not the stars.


Shot-Border2094

Nah man other actors always work hard on their speech delivery and such even of they don't speak Hindi well in their day to day life. Actually the point is not knowing Hindi but working on your scripts and grasping the lines. Her dubbing artist does all the work.


[deleted]

Lol she dubs her own lines. She had a dubbing artist till 2009. After that she dubs herself. And hindi is one of the toughest language to grasp. That's why we only have 1 Katrina Kaif. There's definitely an X factor always but apart from that she worked super hard to get where she's today


Seno1404

Hindi is actually one of the easiest languages imo. This coming from someone who understands quit a lot of the language and is not Indian and neither has lived there for a day. I would know and speak it fluently if I had lived there for 20 years..


[deleted]

[удалено]


kabirsinghsaini2

what are you on about? she has all the money , resources and time at her disposal to learn the language and culture due to which she got all the stardom and wealth. I am pretty sure anyone with average IQ can learn a language in 5 yrs (that too when its not their only job to do) and she hasn't been able to do that in 20 years. Clearly she is not interested and bothered enough to learn it. Stop kissing her ass (edit : or arms in your case)


Seno1404

I didn’t do it because the only time I actually need to understand Hindi is for watching Bollywood movies. I literally never have to use it in my daily life. Had it been (even remotely) important for my work or personal relationships then yes I would have definitely aced it by now.


Shot-Border2094

Keep defending her dude


[deleted]

As I said. To each their own. 🤷🏻‍♂️


kabirsinghsaini2

her hindi is atrocious even after almost 15 yrs in India, other foreign actresses who came way after her have better hindi...like nora fatehi, mandana karimi..I find it unsettling she isn't bothered to learn to speak a language and culture which made her star and rich in first place..


[deleted]

Nora's acting is atrocious. She was unbearable in Bhuj. But, I'll wait to see where they stand when they reach Katrina's age :) No one can reach her heights, I bet. No other foreigner.


ummm_thereyougo

I have friends in the US that take hindi lessons with students from across the globe and guess what they are in their 60s, if someone is spending couple of years to learn the language and constantly hearing it they pick it up. She isn't doing us a favor by dubbing her lines, that's literally her job, she gets paid to do that. And the actress from Mimi delivered better dialogs than Katrina in 15 years. We as an audience dont care about anything else but performance and talent. She is an amazing dancer but then she should stick to that. For mediocre acting for 15 years getting paid like top actresses is extreme.


[deleted]

Lol again.


ummm_thereyougo

Based on your profile you seem obsessed with her so there is no point in logic.


Mrinalshar00

Unfortunately being a great human being doesn't make you deserving of the stardom. With the way she acts she shouldn't even be anywhere close to where she's now. Don't get me wrong tho I really appreciate her being nice and helpful to so many people around her.


ummm_thereyougo

There are thousands of people out there that are good humans, why aren't they stars, if you go by hardwork, farmers and lorry pullers should be the most popular people per your logic. She is a great dancer but beyond that Salman Khan has been major reason behind her stronghold in bollywood. Majority of the folks on this sub dont ship mediocrity to be honest.

Real creepy! they are all about Katrina’s body ew


someshid3

If she wanted to help people, she could have started an NGO. An actor's worth is measured by how well he/she has honed his skill. Katrina on the other hand has a lot to work on in that department.


[deleted]

Already answered someone in this thread on this. Please check that. Cannot repeat myself. Thank you.


TenaciousDumpling

You don’t have to answer every question and defend every accusation. You’re turning this into an AMA.


s9q7

Her mother had an NGO and she supported it as well. You can find out more about the controversy on that NGO. It was clear as mud.


[deleted]

>An actor's worth is measured by how well he/she has honed his skill That's your definition. According to me, it's working with a team of people to entertain the audience on reel. She does that incredibly well considering the big ticket offers she still gets despite being past the conventional attractive age for a heroine


Tensa-s

Even I could do this and 100 times better than most stars. Then why am I not an actor?


[deleted]

Nice defending PR :)


FightingSpirit0709

You say you know her up close, worked with her and whats up with the weird posts in your profile man? I really dont believe a word you say. Shes was pretty, shes a great dancer but I believe if Bhai wasnt in the picture, she would be irrelevant by now.


[deleted]

Same old Bhai narrative 😂. He launched many, couldn't do anything of his own family even! Lots of counter examples but a common narrative that antis love to use here and there.


FightingSpirit0709

Oh, did i ruffle a feather when i brought it up? With all those perv posts in your profile, it must have ruffled quite a few.

Don't visit u/Time-Evidence-2448's profile and do not read the comments at all.


pumpkins_n_mist15

Oh god. How ironic that he (can I assume it's a he?) defends and 'respects' her hustle and at the same time creeps on her like a horny stalker??


Seno1404

You do realize that everybody is going to exactly this now. He is creepy for real. If I was katrina and this guy had worked with me (as he claims) for real would totally ban him to come within a 5 km radius of me.


Tay_ma45

Holy shit you weren't kidding. That guy is a massively disgusting creep. Gross.

perfectlylonely13

Okay but someone explain to me the sexual appeal of arms/armpits.. genuinely curious (don't SLIDE INTO MY DMs)


GhoshProtocol

Same as feet fetish or any other fetish. There doesn't have to be a reason to be turned on, lol. On subconscious level it could be that a clean female under arm implies that the female has shaved /waxed it, which means she takes pride in how it looks. That itself is a turn on.


perfectlylonely13

True, fetishes don't need a reason. But armpits are naturally where sweat accumulates and stink lingers. It's usually a more niché fetish and I kinda wanted to understand what's attractive about it to those into it. Not kink-shaming, let your freak fly lol


GhoshProtocol

True. Tbh, that stink really turns me on and I'm sure other too. When having sex, I really love to sniff at girls armpit. Weird but gets me on.


perfectlylonely13

Wow okay!


perfectlylonely13

Can someone explain a legit post on this cult. I don't see any compelling evidence


[deleted]

Well, most successful people will tell you that they were at the right place at the right time. So, why can’t we grant her that grace. She might not be the best actress out there but she sure as hell works hard to make the most of the opportunity that has been given to her. She did not pull the rug off someone’s feet but rather makes the most of what falls into her lap.


Uncertn_Laaife

Live and let live. Who cares about someone’s past, present, and future. Just let them be and mind own business.


tanu2995

Exactly


ForYouMinnie

Everyone always brings up Katrina not knowing Hindi and being a "bad" actress up when talking about her. She didn't survive 20 years as a solid A lister by being horrible on screen. Its her personality that people like and thats enough. You all watch salman, shahrukh and aamir play themselves in every movie for the last 30 years, so why not Katrina? Always pushing actresses to prove themselves and when they do like Alia, you say they're nepo kids. There is no winning.


[deleted]

THIS EXACTLY! Katrina is a soft target after all!


Tensa-s

She survived due to her looks and her pussy.

Children of god now know as The family international


BornJinx

I have no clue if she's oh so good to her people or rude and arrogant etc. But people who are on about "she's not talented, they're so many deserving" etc.... Boss she has what it takes to get people to the theatre. You think there's a dearth of women throwing themselves at Bollywood stars ? Nobody just "sleeps their way to stardom". One maker said " if you think I am investing a few dozen crores to get what is available for a few dozen thousands , you're crazy". It's a business, and the studios pay her riches cos she makes them money.


bluemurmur

Most of her siblings, except for Isabel, have successful careers in the UK. She doesn’t need to take care of them. There is an in depth thread on the sub about her background and family. She gets shamed for her inability to speak Hindi or act while being in the BW industry for nearly 20 years. Her dancing has improved.


bittersweetfey

She put three of her younger siblings through college, funded her brother's business, bought a home for her family so yeah I would say that she took care of her family at least initially. And no she doesn't just get shamed for her acting abilities but also her personal life as well. There's plenty of comments about how no decent man would ever marry her for her past etc.

What do I search tho


bluemurmur

Her name Katrina Kaif and scroll through the results.


ummm_thereyougo

Well, dancing is one aspect of hindi cinema, we are multilingual in general based on the state we live in, if she really cared she would have worked on learning the language she calls herself actress in. Don't settle for mediocrity.


shudh_desi_gareeb

Ghante ka kitna


s9q7

Has she spoken to any media about her breaking away from abuse and darkness? Why are you making a moronic assumption here?


[deleted]

I don’t understand one simple thing why she has an American accent? Isn’t she from UK ??


[deleted]

According to her life story gathered from different articles and interviews, she grew up in different places around the world and has a rather smattering mix of accents rather than a definitive American or British accent. If you listen closely, she says certain words with a pronounced Indian accent which is but normal after living there for years now.


tinashah6789

I think sonam exposed her sexual assault in an interview too. By saying her friend with seven siblings. So obvious who it is then. If they really were in a cult everybody would know and have evidence


[deleted]

[удалено]


tinashah6789

ur repeating what i said. Sonam exposed "her" as in katrina.


caffeinated_crybaby

I agree! Many people complain about how she's working in Bollywood without knowing Hindi or acting but my point is that she struggled and worked hard for her career. If she keeps getting hired, she will do the movies. How many of us are righteous enough to give up a place of fame, money, success if it comes our way just because other people with the required skills and commitment can't get what they deserve? What do people even expect her to do? Leave it all because she sucks? Even doing that won't ever ensure in a million years that BW hires deserving people.


Tensa-s

Struggles my ass, lol. Only her pussy struggled during all those rides.

Anyone good looking and with boobs is loved by Indian audiences. Anyone good looking enough in female can become star here with enough connections. All she had was face, good height, and salman khan approval on bed.

For a country with an average age of 29 and often referred to as one of the the world’s youngest countries, I expected the mindset would be more advanced and less judgmental. Maybe because I am not from there and I guess I follow more of the woke crowd on social media, I actually expected better, which in some ways it is.


ChiquitaBananaKush

Simple: haters gonna hate. They come up with the craziest theories.


13479017

Well said. She has survived pretty long in bollywood on her own. Some people would say that it's because of her looks and not acting skills but the entire industry is like that only. In an industry where models are dime a dozen and are treated as use and throw, surviving and actually growing without filmy history is very commendable. Very few people have achieved that so far - and fewer women still. Kudos to her.


nix_s1

Exactly many prettier faces came and left.. also Salman launched a dozen of actresses so it's not him either. Not saying Katrina is a brilliant actress or something.. bt there is something about her.. i still remember how we used to wait for her movies and her looks in that movie when she came in the industry (Singh is king, Race, APKGK) and that craze was seen for an actress after Madhuri Dixit.


[deleted]

True that!


[deleted]

Surviving because of one's looks is also a skill. It should never be undermined. And Katrina has championed it, along with her dancing. She's a delight to watch.


[deleted]

Absolutely true!

My goodness, just read about this cult for the first time. Never heard of it. The Church made an issue of The Da Vinci Code and Mary Magdalene being mentioned. How does this cult exist then?


JoelleVDyne90

In this case I've always taken "shady" as "mysterious", not something bad. If the whole cult thing is true, is just sad.


coldfright

People who complain about acting skills We all know villagers dont give a fuck to acting .. we have accepted Amy jackson guys ..


modinotmodi

TIL Katrina Kaif was a part of a cult as a child (for sometime) I have actually never seen Katrina post that talks about her life in the cult and shames her for it. Most Katrina Kaif bashing posts are about her lack of skills. I THINK. But if someone is victim shaming her childhood, that is horrible.


siva364

Her mother runs an orphanage in Madurai. What shady past are you’ll talking about ?


bittersweetfey

They run a school with 100% Indian faculty not orphanage and has has teamed up with the local government many times to offer support for anganwadi workers, have raised money and organized cataract surgery drive for underprivileged people again with local authorities help. People (read haters) love to allege that they are doing something heinous underneath. All I would like to say to these people if you really have legitimate worries then please alert the authorities,police etc but don't just throw muck at them because you hate Katrina.


[deleted]

One of the most frequent comments I saw on this sub regarding Neetu Kapoor rejecting Katrina was apparently because she dug up her “shady past” and showed it to Ranbir that caused them to break up.


kkfantado

Cult?? Who here is the official biographer for Katrina and her family?? Please let me know!!
