Kareena Kapoor's glow-up decoded: At 44, actress' workout routine is not focused on weight loss but something more powerful
Kareena Kapoor Khan's fitness journey has always commanded attention, from her iconic size-zero transformation in Tashan to walking the ramp in style while heavily pregnant. Over the years, the Bollywood star has redefined what fitness looks like at every stage of life. Now, at 44, Kareena is no longer chasing a shrinking number on the scale. Instead, her workout routine is built around awareness, strength, balance, and long-term well-being.In an interview with ETimes, celebrity yoga instructor Anshuka Parwani offered a glimpse into Kareena's present-day fitness philosophy. Anshuka revealed that Kareena, her very first student and also her first celebrity client, has never approached her workouts intending to simply lose weight. Instead, the actor's unwavering goal has always been to feel good, stay strong, and be in tune with her body's needs.According to Anshuka, Kareena has an exceptional level of body awareness — a trait that has evolved and deepened over the years. The two regularly adjust routines depending on Kareena's physical state and energy levels, knowing exactly when to challenge the body and when to step back. The emphasis lies in achieving balance, with workouts that now often include a mix of yoga, animal flow movements, strength training, and cardio-based exercises.Notably, weight loss has never been the central goal of Kareena's workouts. Even at times when she expressed the desire to make physical changes, the extent of that request was usually to drop a waist size, never to simply shed kilos. Her fitness is not driven by aesthetics alone, but by the desire to feel centred, healthy, and agile.Anshuka, who also trains Bollywood stars like Alia Bhatt and Deepika Padukone , credits Kareena's consistency and mindfulness as key reasons behind her glow, both internal and external. As the actress continues to evolve in her career and personal life, her fitness approach remains grounded in self-awareness and grace, setting a refreshing example in an industry often obsessed with quick fixes and crash diets.Kareena Kapoor's journey proves that real fitness isn't about shrinking to fit a mould; it's about moving with intention, listening to your body, and showing up for yourself at every age.

Even after getting divorced, Charu Asopa and Rajeev Sen share a cordial relationship. The two continue to co-parent their daughter Zaina and are often seen spending time together. However, the actress is also targeted repeatedly because of her frequent meetings with her ex-husband. In one of her recent YouTube vlogs, Charu Asopa opened up about facing criticism for meeting Rajeev. She mentioned that she decided to go on a vacation with Sushmita Sen's brother for their daughter's sake. 'You all are wise people, listen to two false interviews shouldn't change the truth. You can't follow someone blindly, haven't you all seen it? Aap logon ne toh mujhe bhi bola hai ki divorce ke baad itna kaise mil sakte ho. So why are you all questioning this? I don't have any problem, whenever he wants, he can come. He calls everyday, where is the problem?" she said. The actress slammed those making negative remarks against her and added, 'Aurat pe ungli uthana bohot asaan hota hai, even women gather up in making the other woman guilty. I don't care about it anymore. You can say what you want." Charu Asopa also hinted at Rajeev's previous comments on her character and stated, 'It is said that when a man can't defeat a woman, he questions her character. He tried everything, questioned my character and all. He tried it all, but I didn't bow to it. So now, I don't care at all, I am happy about my life with my daughter. Do whatever you can."

For me, the monthly living cost came up to Rs 1 lakh -1.5 lakh, including the rent and everything, which was not easy. Furthermore, I would rather not leave Ziana alone with a nanny when I am shooting in Naigaon (Mumbai). It used to get extremely difficult. Moving back home and starting my own thing was completely planned; it wasn't a rushed decision." First Published:
