Bollywood: Kareena Kapoor Khan dismisses the idea of botox
While many actresses have gone under the knife to enhance their looks, Bollywood star Kareena Kapoor Khan prefers to stay away from cosmetic surgeries.
At a launch event for nutritionist Rutuja Diwekar's book The Commonsense Diet, in Mumbai, Kareena emphasised ageing gracefully and naturally rather than relying on skin treatments such as botox.
"Age is just a number. My only thing is I always want to be fit to take on whatever old age brings. I want to be able to do what I have to do whether it has to go to sets at 70, 75. I want to keep working until 85, all my life. I want be able to bend to pick up my grandchildren. I want be able to do things and not be dependent on someone or a stick," Kareena said.
"For that, I have to eat right, and have mobility to work out. It's not about the way I look, it's about the way I feel and that's what for me, aging and life is. I am embracing it but I'm taking all these particular things, like eating ghee, eating khichdi, doing a little bit of weight training for muscle strength, walking a little, my Surya Namaskars, doing my little work on my own rather than skin treatments and botox," she added.
On the professional front, Kareena recently captivated the audience with her appearance at the gala celebrating 25 years of Lakme Fashion Week.
Reflecting on her fashion journey, she recalled walking the ramp at different stages of her life, from her size-zero days to her pregnancy with son Taimur.
During the event, Kareena said, "I do everything with my heart. So, whether it was walking the ramp when I was size-zero or walking the ramp with Taimur in my belly, or whether it was, you know, size 10 or 12, that never really mattered. What mattered was my heart....my heart was on stage..was with each and every designer that I walked for was also in my confidence. Thank you Lakme for having me..I enjoyed my time."
Kareena, who has been the face of Lakme for many years, walked the ramp for eminent designers at the Lakme Fashion Week and also announced her renewed association with the brand.

Kareena Kapoor skips Guns N' Roses concert, jams with family
While music lovers in Mumbai were cheering for 'Guns N' Roses' over the weekend, Kareena Kapoor Khan had her special concert at home. The actor, known popularly as Bebo, chose to skip the legendary band's return to India after 13 years and instead spent her evening with her actor-husband, Saif Ali Khan, and son Taimur. On Monday, Kapoor Khan took to Instagram to drop glimpses of their jam session. The black-and-white photo showed Khan playing the guitar while teaching Taimur, who was seen sitting on a stool, deeply focused on learning how to strum. "Might have missed Guns N' Roses..." she wrote in the first story. In a follow-up story with the same picture, she added, "But I got my own band, people," along with a fire, heart, and smiling emoji. Rock band Guns N' Roses performed at a jam-packed venue in Mumbai on May 17 to mark their return to India after 13 years. The band performed as part of their ongoing Asia tour. Meanwhile, Kapoor Khan was last seen in the Bollywood action flick Singham Again, starring Ajay Devgn, Akshay Kumar, Deepika Padukone and Tiger Shroff.

Did Bollywood diva Kareena Kapoor take a subtle dig at Priyanka Chopra?
Actress Kareena Kapoor took a subtle dig at her contemporary, Priyanka Chopra while speaking at the WAVES Summit 2025. Bebo said that she is very happy working in the Indian film industry and speaking Hindi dialogues. 'I am very happy with my Indian movies and acting in them. It is a lot of fun to dance on a Hindi film track, speaking Hindi dialogues- after all, I am a Sikhni from Batinda (hinting at her film Jab We Met),' Kareena said. When filmmaker Karan Johar stated that 'you have already declared that 'Main apni favourite hu' ( I am my favourite) (Again from Jab We Met), then why not', the diva replied by saying that according to her every female should believe in this line. 'I think this line is extremely important because I believe every female should always say this line — Main apni favourite hu'. I think that it is the best thing.' Kareena added. This statement by Kareena can be seen as a jibe at Priyanka as she has been doing a lot of projects in Hollywood while staying away from Bollywood. However, after a long gap, PeeCee will be returning to the Indian cinema with SS Rajamouli's 'SSMB29', opposite Mahesh Babu. She is presently in India for the shoot of her next. Priyanka was last seen in Bollywood in 2016 with Shonali Bose's 'The Sky Is Pink.' In the meantime, Kareena expressed her pride and gratitude at being a part of the panel discussion at the WAVES Summit 2025 through a heartfelt social media post. In a heartfelt post on social media, Bebo expressed how proud she felt to represent India on such a dynamic platform that highlights the country's growing influence in the global entertainment industry. For the 'Udta Punjab' actress, participating alongside influential voices from cinema, technology, and business was not only an honour but also a chance to represent the evolving role of women in film and storytelling. Calling it the beginning of a 'creative movement,' Kareena emphasized that India is no longer just participating in global conversations around entertainment — it's leading them. She lauded the summit for spotlighting India's potential as an emerging superpower in the creative space and for setting the tone for the future of storytelling, content creation, and innovation. WAVES 2025, one of the most anticipated entertainment events of the year, officially began on May 1 in Mumbai. Organized by the Government of India, this marks the first edition of the World Audio Visual & Entertainment Summit, aimed at celebrating and showcasing the country's vibrant media and entertainment landscape. Spanning four days-from May 1 to May 4-the summit brings together some of the biggest names in the industry, including Shah Rukh Khan, Aamir Khan, Rajinikanth, Akshay Kumar, Hema Malini, Mohanlal, Aishwarya Rai Bachchan, SS Rajamouli, Chiranjeevi, Alia Bhatt, and Vicky Kaushal, among others. The event is being held at the Jio World Convention Centre (JWCC) in Mumbai's Bandra Kurla Complex. Indo-Asian News Service
