Kareena Kapoor Said Salman Khan Is 'A Very Bad Actor': 'I Don't Like Him'
Last Updated:
Kareena Kapoor said that Shah Rukh Khan was her favourite of the three superstar Khans in Bollywood.
Kareena Kapoor Khan, one of Bollywood's most versatile actresses, has shared the screen with the three Khans—Shah Rukh, Salman, and Aamir—delivering memorable performances and box office hits. However, while Shah Rukh Khan reigns as her favourite and Aamir Khan comes second, Kareena doesn't think Salman Khan is a good actor, based on an old interview.
In an earlier interview with Umesh Jivnani, Kareena didn't hold back while expressing her honest take on the three Khans. 'I'm totally in love with him. Don't even ask me about him because if I start, I won't stop talking about him for hours. Amitabh Bachchan and Shah Rukh are the only two actors I admire," she said.
Kareena Kapoor appreciated Shah Rukh Khan's 'boy-next-door' charm and added that this appeal makes girls want to take him home to meet their parents. She mentioned that SRK's acting amuses her.
As for Aamir Khan, Kareena said, 'Aamir's good. I really liked him in Hum Hain Rahi Pyar Ke and QSQT, but out of the Khans, I'm a total Shah Rukh fan." While Kareena appreciated SRK and Aamir's acting chops, she said Salman Khan was not a good actor. She opined, 'I'm not at all a Salman fan. I don't like him; he's a very bad actor. I tell him that he hams all the time."
Kareena Kapoor has worked with the three Khans for films of different genres. With Shah Rukh Khan, Kareena starred in Asoka (2001), where she played the fierce Kaurwaki opposite SRK's warrior king. Later, in Ra.One (2011), she played a modern, playful role in this sci-fi adventure, showcasing their chemistry in a contemporary setting.
Kareena's collaboration with Aamir Khan has been particularly impactful. 3 Idiots (2009), where she played Pia, became a cultural phenomenon and remains one of Indian cinema's most iconic films. In Laal Singh Chaddha (2022), their chemistry shone again in a heartfelt story spanning decades.
Her pairing with Salman Khan has been more frequent. In Bodyguard (2011), she played the strong-willed Divya, and their on-screen bond contributed to the film's massive commercial success. They also co-starred in Kyon Ki (2005) and Main Aurr Mrs Khanna (2009), showing a mix of romance and drama. Together with the Khans, Kareena has displayed her range, be it romance, drama, or comedy, cementing her legacy as one of Bollywood's enduring female stars.

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. She recently announced her next with Prithviraj Sukumaran, as they are set to co-star in Meghna Gulzar's Daayra.

From leopard prints to waist cut-outs: Kareena Kapoor Khan is serving looks!

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.
