· Entertainment · Indian Express, Hindustan Times, WION
Pakistani actor Ali Zafar has publicly defended his former co-star Katrina Kaif following critical comments about her body weight on social media. Katrina recently stepped out to attend Ganesh Chaturthi celebrations in Mumbai, marking one of her first public appearances since welcoming her son Vihaan in November 2025. Sharing a video online, Ali criticised the societal expectation for women to maintain a certain physical standard and called for greater compassion. The two actors previously worked together in the 2011 film Mere Brother Ki Dulhan. Katrina was last seen in the 2024 film Merry Christmas alongside Vijay Sethupathi and has not announced any new film projects since.
