India, Nov. 4 -- A ctor Katrina Kaif is in no hurry to return to her pre-pregnancy figure. The actor, who welcomed her son Vihaan with husband Vicky Kaushal in November 2025, faced online criticism over her appearance at the Ambanis' Ganesh Chaturthi celebrations in Mumbai this September. Now, addressing the pressure on new mothers to look a certain way, Katrina tells Vogue India, "Bounce back? From where?" "I have taken a step ahead to something that was a deep desire in my heart, so why would I want to go back?" she says, adding, "The first few days after I gave birth, it was an indescribable feeling to see Vihaan's face and know that four years of a journey for me and Vicky had led to this. I am very aware of my fitness journey and where my body feels at its most energetic. I will reach there at my own pace." On the scrutiny surrounding her appearance, she says, "I think most people are aware of what a woman's body goes through after giving birth. And if they still choose to view that body through a harsh lens, it's a personal choice." The actor also opens up about life with Vicky as new parents. "As a father, he's been amazing. He has this incredible superpower to be 100 per cent present in the moment with Vihaan and me, even when he is tired and has been working 14, 16 or 18 hours a day," she shares, adding, "Our romantic dinners and movie nights have taken a backseat for now, but Vicky keeps reminding me that everything will find its own time again." While Katrina has no immediate plans to return to films, she already knows the kind of role she would like to explore next. "I think I'd make a great Maleficent," she says. HTC...
