“I’ll be sitting and talking with my husband or getting ready for an event, and I will be complaining about something about my physical appearance or saying I am not happy with the way I look and have gained weight. I am not comfortable,” Katrina admitted.

Vicky, always a calming influence, helps Katrina regain her confidence by reminding her of her message of self-love. He often asks her, “Aren’t you the one who keeps telling everyone it’s okay to be you?” This gentle reminder helps Katrina reflect on her beliefs and apply them to herself.

“It’s like that gentle reminder that, hey, this is what it’s all about,” Katrina explained. “I have to apply that same kindness to myself.” Vicky’s words help her remember the importance of embracing one’s natural beauty, a message she promotes through her beauty brand, Kay Beauty.

Dr Madhur Rathi, Consultant Psychiatrist at Yatharth Super Speciality Hospital, Noida Extension, explained that positive support from partners is crucial when individuals experience self-doubt because it fosters a sense of assurance and confidence.

“When facing challenges, having a supportive partner can provide the empathy and understanding needed to navigate difficult emotions. Their encouragement can help reinforce trust in one’s abilities and decisions, countering negative self-perceptions,” Dr Rathi said in an interaction with indianexpress.com.

This supportive environment can also enhance willpower, empowering individuals to tackle challenges and build resilience. In moments of uncertainty, knowing that someone believes in you can significantly impact motivation and overall mental well-being, promoting a healthier self-image.
