After Mrunal Thakur, Kareena Kapoor Khan gets trolled on the internet for her comments on other actors in old interviews, netizens call her the 'OG mean girl'
Mrunal Thakur , who was recently seen with Ajay Devgn in 'Son of Sardaar 2', has been in the news after an old video of her resurfaced online. In the clip which was from her television days when she was doing 'Kumkum Bhagya', Mrunal mocked Bipasha Basu for her 'muscles' and said she was 'far better'. After facing backlash from netizens, she apologised. Now, another actress is being criticised online for being very mean to other actors as a Reddit post recalls all the rude comments she's made. A viral Reddit thread has dug up snippets from Kareena's old interviews. A user shared a magazine cover of the actress with some of her quotes about other actresses and in the caption, called her the 'OG mean girl'. After losing 'Devdas' to Aishwarya Rai Bachchan , Kareena had called Sanjay Leela Bhansali a 'confused director' with 'no morals and principles'. She also once claimed that Sridevi 'never had a historical hit'. Talking about 'Kaho Naa... Pyaar Hai' (2000), which was meant to be her debut before she walked out, Kareena said Rakesh Roshan focused more on Hrithik Roshan , while Ameesha Patel had 'pimples and under-eye bags' in some scenes. The actress had once called Bipasha Basu 'kaali beeli'. When she was asked about it on 'Aap Ki Adalat', she said, she will call herself 'gori billi'. Kareena didn't stop there. She called Salman Khan a 'bad actor' in one interview and also stated that 'being fat is not sexy'. Netizens are now reacting strongly. One wrote, 'Pooh in real life!' Another commented, 'I always point that out. Her fans pass her mean behaviour as 'Sassy' and call her real life 'Poo' as if it's an achievement 🙄.' by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Is it better to shower in the morning or at night?

Another user said, 'I swear she has forever been mean. I don't know what's iconic about that. Being disrespectful is not cool.' However, over the years, Kareena has stopped commenting these things about other actors. One has seen how now that she chooses to be diplomatic. When the actress was asked about her feud with Ameesha on ' Koffee With Karan ' after the success of 'Gadar 2', Kareena responded that 'there's no history. The only history made is by their film 'Gadar 2' with the box office records, she had said. On work front, Kareena was last seen in 'Singham Again'.
