Kareena Kapoor reveals her new schedule; says she has dinner at 6pm, lights out at 9:30 pm: ‘Saif, the kids and me, we're all cooking together'
From doing four to five films a year to selectively choosing roles and starring in one or two projects annually, Kareena Kapoor Khan has significantly changed her approach to work after becoming a mother to two boys — Taimur Ali Khan and Jeh Ali Khan. In a recent interaction, Kareena admitted that it is now more about doing quality work over quantity and that she is happy to be out of the phase of chasing roles like younger actors. She also spoke about lifestyle changes she has incorporated in her schedule, with family time with husband Saif Ali Khan and sons taking precedence. During an interaction with Nod magazine, Kareena admitted that while her 'vibrant and alive' characters like Poo (in Kabhi Khushi Kabhie Gham) and Geet (from Jab We Met) have been popular among the masses, she finds 'true joy' in playing characters that call for reinvention and allow her to challenge herself. She added, 'I've had the privilege of doing so many different kinds of cinema, so many roles. And even now, I don't feel like it's enough. I never want to feel like I've done everything.' While Kareena wants to take on diverse roles, she also shared her overall approach towards her career—'Doing less is doing more'—and why being selective helps her preserve herself and her talent. 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, myself.' Kareena also took a deep sigh of relief at not having to chase roles like younger actors anymore. Reflecting on her journey in the industry, she said, 'I'm happy I'm not chasing anymore. I see younger actors running from one thing to the next, and I just think: I'm glad I'm past that.' Talking about how she has changed her lifestyle — with dinner at 6 pm and lights out at 9:30 pm — Kareena says she wakes up early for workout and 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!' she shares. She also said that when the family is together, they like to cook. '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. Me? I need my one proper Indian meal a day. Non-negotiable.' Both Kareena and Saif have become more vigilant about the safety of their kids and themselves after the latter faced a brutal knife attack at his Mumbai home by an intruder in January. In an earlier interaction with Harper's Bazaar India, Kareena had spoken about maintaining a work-life-balance. She had said, 'I don't feel like leaving my kids alone or because I don't want to be seen at some awards show. I want to be able to choose—because I'd rather sit at home with my husband and watch a show or have a glass of wine. That's one of the biggest changes I have gone through, personally. It is up to me to strike a work-life balance.' On the professional front, Kareena starred in two films—Crew and Singham Again—in 2024. Both films were box office hits. She is currently working on Meghna Gulzar's crime drama Daayra, which will also star Malayalam actor Prithviraj in the lead role.

For Manushi, this represented a bittersweet and deeply meaningful return to the platform that catapulted her into global fame and recognition when she was crowned Miss World 2017 in China. What made Manushi's role as judge all the more celebratory was the fact that she was once on the opposite side of the very same panel. She took to her Instagram to express how honoured she was to act as a judge at Miss World. She wrote, 'From once being crowned to now judging the competition, honoured to return to the Miss World stage. It's tough being on either side, but felt so nervous and excited for the contestants! Reminded me of my days. An unforgettable night of beauty, purpose, and power, to have been invited onto the judge's panel." Take a look at the post here. Dressed in a red off-the-shoulder floral gown from NEDO by Nedret Taciroglu, Manushi looked like a dream. The red gown came with a fitted bodice that graduated into a voluminous skirt with a thigh high slit. With its floral embellishments and tulle details, the gown exuded a romantic flair. For Manushi, being on the judging panel was more than just a professional milestone, it was a deeply personal and symbolic full-circle moment. From once standing on the stage as a hopeful contestant to now helping crown a new Miss World, her journey reflected growth, resilience, and purpose. Witnessing another young woman's life transform in the same way hers once did stirred powerful emotions, making the experience both humbling and profound. Watch CNN-News18 here.
