Katrina Kaif Leaves For Family Vacation

Mumbai: Katrina Kaif has decided to join her family in London for the annual Christmas-New Year vacation, in spite of being in pain after her minor surgery last week. The healing process after the surgery is not even half-complete. But the actress, who was recovering quietly at her Mumbai home, flew out of the city early Wednesday after getting a reluctant go-ahead from her doctors at Breach Candy hospital. Wincing in pain, she said a few hours before departure: “The pain will remain for a while. But the process of healing is on. I got my doctor`s consent in Mumbai and I`ve another doctor in London who`s fully aware of my condition. The doctors said the pain will be the same in Mumbai or London. And as long as I`m very careful about not exerting myself I`ll be fine. So I`m off.”

Katrina was depressed earlier in the week, thinking she wouldn`t be able to join her siblings in London because of her medical condition. But later she decided to go for the vacation.

Said Katrina: “I can`t exert myself, can`t dance around or be boisterous. But that`s okay, because our family is in any case not the dancing type. I just want to be with my sister`s little boy, take him to the toy stores in London and buy him everything he wants.”

Katrina returns to Mumbai in the first week of January, hopefully fully healed. “Luckily I`ve a doctor in London who knows how to look after me. So basically I`m just moving into a happier state of mind by being close to the people I love. That would help me heal quicker…Wish me luck.”
