Kareena Kapoor Khan calls Saif Ali Khan ‘Iron Man' after stabbing incident; ‘That trauma will make Taimur and Jeh…'
In the early hours of January 16, Saif Ali Khan (54) and Kareena Kapoor Khan (44) experienced every parent's worst nightmare when they found an intruder in their younger son Jehangir Ali Khan (4) aka Jeh's room, at their Bandra (Mumbai) home. As a real life hero, Saif fought the robber but got stabbed multiple times in the spine while protecting his family. The actor was then rushed to the Lilavati Hospital by his son Taimur Ali Khan (8) and an auto driver. Months after the incident, Kareena has now, for the first time, talked about the attempted robbery and the trauma it left on her, Saif and their children. Jehangir, Kareena, Saif and Taimur at their house In a chat with Barkha Dutt, Kareena Kapoor Khan shared that she is still struggling and the family has not come to terms with the attack a 100% yet. She explained that these incidents of break ins are more common in the West, but we don't hear about it much in Mumbai. Bebo went on to share that she was anxious for the first couple of months, but the memory has been fading with time. The actor compared the attack to losing someone, explaining that the memory may fade but you never really get over it. However, Kareena stated that she does not want to live in that fear because it's wrong to put the stress on her children. Kareena shared, 'I'm just really happy and blessed, and thank god that we're safe and we're definitely stronger as a unit, because we've seen it. And I hope that my two boys will grow up being a different kind of resilient because they've kind of seen their father being attacked. My little one still says that 'but my father is Batman and Iron Man, he can take on anyone'. That's the way he looks at it. So the good thing is that in our eyes, definitely Saif is Iron Man because he did take that beating. So for us, that's it. I can just thank god that my children are safe and yeah, they've seen blood, they've seen everything, but that trauma I somehow feel will make Taimur and Jeh a lot more, a different kind of a man, is what I feel.' Bebo explained that her sons Taimur and Jeh have been sheltered all their life and this incident brought them out of their shelter into reality, that something like this can actually happen. The actor went on to share that this is her way of looking at what's coming out of this incident, like a silver lining. On the work front, Kareena completes 25 years in the Hindi film industry today.

25 years of Kareena Kapoor Khan: 5 roles that prove there's no genre she can't rule
Kareena Kapoor Khan made her Bollywood debut with Refugee, released on June 30, 2000, and since then there has been no turning back for the star. Over the past quarter of a century, she has performed a wide variety of roles, from mainstream performers to quirky character-driven pieces, and she has worked across genres to accommodate shifting tastes. To celebrate the actor's 25 years in Hindi cinema, we should look back at her films to see how she has changed and grown over the years. Kareena Kapoor Khan Watch Kareena Kapoor Khan shine in Jab We Met, Chameli, and Aitraaz—now streaming on OTTplay Premium. Enjoy five films starring Kareena Kapoor Khan that you can watch on OTTplay Premium. These films span her career from her experimental work in the early 2000s to her legendary performances that have left a lasting impact. Kareena Kapoor Khan films to stream on OTTplay Premium Jab We Met Many consider Kareena Kapoor Khan's role in Imtiaz Ali's romantic comedy as the pivotal moment in her career. The actor added vulnerability and wit to her portrayal of Geet Dhillon, a young woman from Bhatinda known for her vivacious and unabashedly loud personality. A love story, Jab We Met is also a story of self-discovery for its protagonists. The film's enormous popularity was due in large part to Kareena's comic timing, the depth of her emotions in the second half, and the relatability she brought to Geet. It is still one of the most rewatched Bollywood films of the OTT era and won her numerous Best Actress awards. Chameli Released during an era when Kareena was primarily known for her glamorous parts, Chameli signified a significant departure from her previous work. In her role, she plays a sex worker who, on a rainy night in Mumbai, has an unexpected chat with a grieving businessman. Kareena demonstrated that she could carry a character-driven film without heavy makeup by convincingly delivering a performance in a regional accent. She was able to shed the image as a commercial heroine thanks to the critically acclaimed film. Aitraaz With a nod to Disclosure as an inspiration, this legal thriller offers a new take on gender politics. The film stars Kareena as a lawyer who defends her husband (Akshay Kumar) against unfounded accusations of sexual harassment levelled by his ex-girlfriend (Priyanka Chopra Jonas), who is now his boss. Kareena provided a composed strength to her character, in contrast to Priyanka's headline-grabbing role as the antagonist. She portrayed a wife who, instead of questioning her husband, opts to battle the system, striking a mix between intelligence and empathy. At the turn of the millennium, Bollywood had a unique courtroom drama starring a female lead. Fida The cybercrime romantic thriller Fida casts Kareena in a more grey-shaded role, one that she hadn't dabbled in before. With her character's pivotal role in a perilous con, the story swiftly transforms from a romance into a betrayal saga. The film's unusual storyline earned it a cult following despite its poor box office results. It was also an early example of Kareena's openness to experiment with unconventional ideas, which she displayed throughout her career. Golmaal Returns In this ensemble comedy, Kareena plays the role of Ekta, a melodramatic woman who believes her husband is unfaithful and is addicted to daily soaps. Her impeccable comic timing and excessive enthusiasm mirror the wild antics of the Golmaal world. Kareena gained experience in full-blown comedy, a genre she hasn't often dabbled in but effortlessly pulls off, thanks to the commercially successful film. In the heyday of Bollywood's multiplexes, it also helped her attract a larger audience.
