In a bid to connect with their fans and give them a peek into their lives, most Bollywood stars are now present on social media — whether it’s Twitter, Facebook, Instagram or Snapchat. Katrina Kaif took her time before she decided to join the bandwagon.

While her contemporaries have been active on Instagram for two-three years, Katrina joined the social media platform in April 2017. Since then, she has been offering her fans a glimpse of her daily activities, including the fun moments that she spends with her friends and family as well as her time on the sets. The reticent Kat is pretty candid when it comes to her social media posts. Her uploads range from quirky to relevant and even a few no-make-up shots. It seems her unique touch has paid off as she has crossed the seven-million mark in nine months.

Katrina says, “It took me a while to join Instagram. I was told that I would enjoy the interactions, and that’s exactly what has happened. I’m having fun. I’m sharing real moments with my followers. I enjoy having a platform where I’ve my own voice. It is a personal reflection of me.”

Though she is now on Instagram and Facebook, she has kept away from other popular apps like Snapchat and Twitter. In a previous interview, Kat had said. “Snapchat is something I doubt very much I’ll be part of. But Twitter is on my plan. It is something I would like to do. I will get a grasp of these platforms first and check if the progression to Twitter is something I am ready for.” But looking at the encouraging response her two social media handles have got, it won’t be surprising to see her collect more followers on other platforms as well.
