Talking about her character Kumud,  Katrina said, “It was very challenging. I think my role in Bharat is the best that I’ve done so far in my career, in terms of the depth of the character and playing a woman from 1975 to 2010, spanning 35 years. It was about holding on to a sense of continuity. The emotional journey, her strength and gravitas, the way it was written and the entire scope that I had for performance. My character Kumud is a strong woman, fun and lively. She is not afraid to speak her mind, she is not weak. It’s been a fantastic learning experience, probably the most fulfilling and inspiring time I had playing her.”
