At a Navratri celebration, Katrina Kaif caught everyone’s attention with her exquisitely embroidered orange saree designed by Tarun Tahiliani. Katrina, who is renowned for having exquisite style sense, looked stunning as she enjoyed the joyous occasion. But even as her wardrobe choices were praised, admirers quickly pointed out an odd detail: a black spot on her arm. The patch’s purpose, evident in event images and videos, left many fans perplexed.
The actor’s appearance at the airport in Kalina while travelling to the event became widely discussed on social media very soon. Some followers expressed concern, despite many being in awe of her beauty and festive appearance. One person questioned, “Is she okay?” while another surmised, “Looks like a medical patch.”
The black patch on Katrina’s arm is probably a diabetes patch that is used to track blood sugar levels, according to a report by Hindustan Times. These patches are commonly referred to as continuous glucose monitors, or CGMs, and are usually worn by people with diabetes. These gadgets make monitoring blood sugar levels easier all day without requiring frequent finger pricks. Although Katrina Kaif’s diabetes has not been officially confirmed, some admirers have provided an alternate theory. Given Katrina’s well-known commitment to fitness, one social media user surmised, “It could be a fitness tracker like Ultrahuman, which monitors blood sugar, heart rate, and even sleep patterns.”
People with type 1 and advanced type 2 diabetes frequently wear diabetes patches to continuously check their blood sugar levels. By giving patients access to real-time data, these patches provide better patient management by allowing quick decisions on insulin dosage.
Katrina was the guest of honour at a jewellery brand’s Navratri party, and she looked unaffected and in high spirits despite the curiosity surrounding the patch. She waved to supporters and posed for photographs during the event.
The last time we saw Katrina Kaif was in Tiger 3, where she returned to her legendary role as Salman Khan’s ISI agent Zoya.
