Kareena's Candid Take on the Khans
In an earlier interview with Umesh Jivnani, Kareena was refreshingly candid about her admiration for the three Khans. She revealed a deep fondness for Shah Rukh Khan, calling him one of the only two actors she truly admires, alongside
. Her praise for Shah Rukh stood in sharp contrast to her views on the others, offering a clear glimpse into her personal favourites.
Kareena admired SRK's boy-next-door charm, noting that his relatable appeal makes him the kind of man girls would want to introduce to their parents.
She also shared that his performances genuinely amuse and entertain her.
When it came to Aamir Khan, Bebo acknowledged his talent, especially appreciating his performances in Hum Hain Rahi Pyar Ke and Qayamat Se Qayamat Tak. However, she made it clear that her loyalty lies with Shah Rukh Khan. While she praised both SRK and Aamir for their acting skills, her opinion of Salman Khan was far less flattering. Kareena bluntly stated that she doesn't consider him a good actor, even telling him directly that he tends to overact.
On-Screen Journeys with the Khans
The actress has shared the screen with the three Khans in films spanning diverse genres. With Shah Rukh Khan, she first appeared in Asoka (2001), portraying the bold and intense Kaurwaki opposite his warrior king.

Frequent Pairing with Salman Khan

They also shared screen space in Kyon Ki (2005) and Main Aurr Mrs Khanna (2009), blending romance and drama.

The actress was recently in conversation with The Nod magazine, where she revealed the recent changes she has made in her sleep cycle. Kareena told The Nod, "I eat dinner at 6 pm and switch off lights at 9:30 pm. I wake up early for a workout and enjoy some solo time. My friends know not to expect me at parties. And they respect that. They know I'll be watching Schitt's Creek on low volume!" The actress further revealed that working out has become paramount for her all the more after the COVID-19 pandemic. She said, "If I don't work out, I'm in a bad mood. Post-COVID, I realised how important fitness is - not for vanity, but for well-being. It's my mood stabiliser, my anchor." Kareena also spilt some beans on the kind of cuisine that she and her family enjoy. Sharing that one Indian meal a day is "non-negotiable" for her, she also mentioned how Saif is "obsessed with Kerala cuisine." She said, "We love cooking together as a family. Saif, the kids, me - we're all in the kitchen. Saif is obsessed with Kerala cuisine. He's always trying out new recipes - idiyappams, coconut-based stews, everything. I need my one proper Indian meal a day. Non-negotiable." Speaking of the kind of roles she is interested at this juncture of her career, she said, "It's not about quantity anymore. It's about choosing the right roles, ones that challenge me and excite me. I want to preserve my energy, my talent, and myself." On the work front, Kareena was last seen in the Rohit Shetty blockbuster Singham Again with Ajay Devgn.

A source shares, ' Aamir Khan, and Rajkumar Hirani have together dreamt of making a film on the Father of Indian Cinema – Dadasaheb Phalke, and the script work was going on for the longest time. While Raju was working on Dadasaheb Phalke, Aamir was simultaneously creatively involved to develop multiple scripts – ranging from two Rajkumar Santoshi films: Char Din Ki Zindagi and Andaz Apna Apna 2, to Ujjwal Nikam biopic with Dinesh Vijan, the Anurag Basu directed Kishore Kumar, and a film with Rakeysh Omprakash Mehra among others.' The source further informs that Aamir also sat down to discuss the Gulshan Kumar biopic with director Tushar Hiranandani and Bhushan Kumar. 'Aamir is a creative person, and loves to work on content that has potential. He did ample of meetings, and is committed to deliver content that hits the bullseye. Every film that he discussed could happen in the near future, though at the moment, he is all committed to play Dadasaheb Phalke,' the source added. Apart from the above-mentioned films, Aamir Khan, Rajkumar Hirani and Abhijit Joshi also jammed on an exciting plot for PK 2, which could also mark the entry of Ranbir Kapoor to the franchise. 'There's a definite idea for PK 2, which Hirani, Abhijat and Aamir are excited about and they will revisit it after the Dadasaheb Phalke. It's a plot that organically leads itself to a sequel, with Aamir Khan and Ranbir Kapoor, but the boat is far away from sailing. Ranbir too is aware of the idea and is excited to play an alien,' the source concludes. Aamir is also in advanced talks for a feature film with Lokesh Kanagaraj for a superhero film, which at the moment is scheduled to go on floors in 2027. Stay tuned to Pinkvilla for more updates.

From leopard prints to waist cut-outs: Kareena Kapoor Khan is serving looks!
is not just a Bollywood icon, she's a fashion force whose style evolution continues to inspire and impress. At 44, Kareena proves that glamour has no expiry date. Her latest editorial spread for The Nod magazine is a testament to her unshakable confidence, effortless elegance, and ability to channel a new fashion energy with every look. Tired of too many ads? go ad free now Taking to Instagram Stories, Kareena gave her followers a glimpse of the striking outfits from the shoot, and each ensemble was a masterclass in high-fashion storytelling. From classic glam to androgynous drama, from breezy sophistication to fiery sensuality - Kareena served it all, and more. The noir muse Kareena kicked off the style parade in a black body-hugging number by Norma Kamali. The form-fitting gown featured a daring sweetheart neckline and a thigh-high slit, commanding attention with its sculpted elegance. Draped effortlessly over her shoulders was a long-sleeved leopard-print jacket, adding a punch of wild glamour to the otherwise minimalist silhouette. Celebrity stylist Naheed Driver finished the look with statement jewellery: a Hanut dagger pendant adorned with emeralds, rubies, and diamonds, and a bold cross necklace in gold and ruby detailing. The styling spoke of power and allure, a look that could easily belong on the red carpet or a Milan runway. Androgynous royalty For her second look, Kareena channelled fierce sophistication in a plaid ensemble by Rahul Mishra. The oversized double-breasted coat with its dramatically puffed shoulders - exuded a regal power-play vibe. Paired with high-waisted, straight-cut trousers in matching red-and-black plaid, the look was equal parts structured and playful. It's a modern, exaggerated spin on traditional tailoring, one that only someone as self-assured as Kareena could wear without being overshadowed. Tired of too many ads? go ad free now Dreamy in pastel feathers Softening the mood, Kareena next appeared in a serene pale yellow gown by Taller Marmo. The off-shoulder silhouette flowed beautifully, punctuated by delicate feather trim at the neckline, subtle yet show-stopping. The lightweight fabric and sun-kissed hue made it a quintessential summer statement, perfect for seaside soirées or sunset weddings. Diamond garland earrings by Hanut added just the right dose of sparkle, proving that minimalism can still be memorable. The bold burnt orange moment The final look was a monochromatic burnt orange dress from Ralph Lauren, defined by a plunging V-neck and midriff cutouts that framed Kareena's waist with precision. The ruched detailing added texture, while the full sleeves balanced the boldness of the exposed waist. Accessories were kept minimal, just a bracelet and rings on one hand. Hair worn down and a fresh, barely-there makeup look gave the entire outfit a relaxed yet refined finish. Whether wrapped in structured plaid or sweeping feathers, Kareena Kapoor continues to prove that true style isn't just about trends - it's about attitude, authenticity, and evolution. This editorial isn't just a fashion moment. It's a reminder: Kareena doesn't follow fashion. She defines it.
