Long overdue: Katrina Kaif opens up on break-up

Despite being in the industry for over a decade, Katrina is still struggling to make her mark as an actress and that's the reason twitteratis are losing their cool.



Many believe that it's an insult to the late actress who was critically acclaimed for her performances in films such as Manthan, Bhumika and Arth.
