Actor
Katrina
Kaif
feels
it's
extremely
important
for
people
to
empower
women
around
them
and
says
she
now
tries
to
actively
support
and
encourage
her
contemporaries.
Katrina
says
a
lot
of
things
start
with
mindset
change
and
"we
need
to
think
what
we
are
doing
for
women
around
us".
"Recently,
I've
become
more
aware
of
this,
even
subconsciously,
do
we
really
support
our
contemporaries-
in
whatever
industry
you're
in?
I
try
to
support
women
who
are
around
me
as
much
as
I
can
in
my
work
space.
Sometimes
a
competitive
mindset
can
actually
stop
you
from
doing
that," Katrina
told
reporters
here.
The
"Tiger
Zinda
Hai"
actor
says
she
tries
to
do
whatever
she
can
within
her
capacity.
"Am
I
lifting
up
the
women
around
me,
am
I
doing
what
I
can
to
support,
encourage
or
to
help
them
grow?
Rather
than
just
see
what
they
can
do
for
me,
I
do
whatever
I
can
to
encourage
them
to
better
in
their
profession."
Katrina
was
speaking
at
an
event
of
Educate
Girls,
of
which
she
is
the
brand
ambassador.
When
asked
about
the
perception
that
actors,
especially
female
stars,
don't
have
an
opinion
on
important
things,
Katrina
said
people
have
an
opinion
but
there
is
no
compulsion
that
one
has
to
always
make
a
comment.
"I
have
seen
it
myself
that
when
you
talk
about
politics,
matters
regarding
government,
a
lot
of
actors,
because
they
are
not
in
politics,
don't
feel
the
need
to
comment.
"There's
a
big
difference
between
having
an
opinion
at
your
home,
and
speaking
about
it
on
a
public
platform,
or
having
an
opinion
about
a
social
cause
like
this."
Katrina
said
if
one
does
not
want
to
talk
about
a
certain
topic,
it
does
not
mean
that
they
are
not
aware
of
it.
"I
can't
speak
about
everyone
because
there
are
different
situations
and
everyone
is
different.
But
many
times,
I
don't
feel
like
taking
about
a
topic.
It
doesn't
mean
I
don't
have
an
opinion
on
it
but
maybe
it
is
not
the
right
time
and
place
to
talk
about
it.
