Talking about taking words of wisdom from her, Isabelle had said, “Of course, I do. I think it would be foolish not to (laughs). Katrina is so good at what she does and she's also such a success in the industry. It makes complete sense, as she knows how things work (in the industry).

How she admired Katrina Kaif for her work and have her as a mentor to make her place in the industry, Isabelle Kaif had remarked, “I have admired her from the beginning. At the end of the day, family is most important as they are the ones who you can always fall back on. They are going to be there for you and will always want the best (for you) as well. It’s definitely helpful in any industry to have a mentor, guide, advisor or someone with that kind of experience to help you with what you want to do and giving advice. So, she can tell me, ‘avoid this as these are the pitfalls or this is what really works’. It’s great to have a person who has kind of already tried and tested everything and knows what works in the industry. So, I think I am really lucky to have her as a mentor of sorts. She is always going to have my back with no ulterior motives, because ultimately, she is family.”
