Katrina Kaif Quotes

All my life, I have judged my worth by how much I have been loved by a man. It’s so with a lot of women, that their self-esteem is measured by how much they are loved by a man, their partner, their boyfriend or maybe their husband. In my case, it may be because I grew up without my father.

Guys never looked at me. I always had crushes on older seniors who never looked at me.
