Katrina Kaif said, “I have often experienced the pressures of a certain standard of beauty and the pressures to conform to that standard. I have found that to be often stifling and intimidating... There’ll be a moment where I will be, you know, fussing before I leave the house for an event or something. I’ll end up finding something that I see, which is not to my liking and I’m trying to fix it, whether it’s a costume or hair or something. And then my husband will wryly remind me ‘Aren’t you the person who says 'It's Kay to Be You' (Her makeup brand Kay Beauty's tagline)?"

'I’m still trying to navigate'

In 2019, the actor turned entrepreneur, when she decided to turn her passion for makeup into a business venture. Her label Kay Beauty has products for all age groups and skin tones. Kay Beauty has emerged as one of the most loved beauty brands online, and as per a 2023 report by Financialexpress.com, has an annual revenue of about $12 million.
