Kareena Kapoor Takes Hilarious Dig At Prada, Flexes Her ‘OG Kolhapuris' In London
Kareena Kapoor took a sly dig at Prada by flaunting her traditional Kolhapuri chappals in London after the brand faced backlash for copying the iconic Indian design.
Prada unveiled its Men's Spring/Summer 2026 collection at the Deposito of Fondazione Prada in Milan, and the footwear's resemblance to classic Indian Kolhapuri-style chappals invited massive outrage over the lack of acknowledgement. While the luxury brand admitted that the design was inspired by India's classic Kolhapuri sandals, it now looks like Kareena Kapoor has also taken a dig at Prada for copying the style.
Taking to her social media, Kareena Kapoor shared a picture of herself relaxing by the beach. The picture shows her feet in stunning Kolhapuri chappals. While sharing the pic, Kareena wrote, 'Sorry not Prada… by my OG Kolapuri ❤️."
Meanwhile, after the backlash, Lorenzo Bertelli, a representative from Prada, responded to the Maharashtra Chamber of Commerce, Industry and Agriculture (MACCIA), stating, 'We acknowledge that the sandals featured in the recent Prada Men's 2026 Fashion Show are inspired by traditional Indian handcrafted footwear, with a centuries-old heritage. We deeply recognize the cultural significance of such Indian craftsmanship."
Interestingly, this is not the first time Indian items have been used by the West in fashion. Popular fashion page Diet Sabya shared a video from the Prada show and talked about how this trend has been going on since time immemorial.
Meanwhile, Kareena Kapoor Khan is currently soaking in the London summer with her family, and fans can't get enough of the adorable glimpses surfacing online. Earlier, the Pataudi family was spotted at Mumbai airport as they jetted off for their much-anticipated holiday. Known affectionately as 'Saifeena," Kareena and Saif Ali Khan have been one of Bollywood's most-loved couples since they tied the knot in 2012 after meeting on the sets of Tashan in 2008. They welcomed their first son, Taimur, in 2016, followed by Jeh in 2021.
Though on vacation, Kareena continues to remain connected with her fans through social media, sharing snippets of her family life. Professionally, she's gearing up for Daayra, her upcoming film with Malayalam star Prithviraj Sukumaran. Directed by Meghna Gulzar, the project delves into dark themes of crime and justice and is currently in pre-production. It's co-written by Meghna, Yash Keswani, and Sima Agarwal.

R Madhavan Opens Up On 'RHTDM' Toxic Label: 'Name One Actor Who Hasn't Played Such Role'
Last Updated: The 2001 cult film has faced flak over the years for portraying toxic masculinity through its lead character, Maddy. R Madhavan, who is currently promoting his upcoming film Aap Jaisa Koi alongside Fatima Sana Shaikh, recently addressed criticism surrounding his iconic romantic drama Rehnaa Hai Tere Dil Mein (RHTDM). The 2001 cult film has faced flak over the years for portraying toxic masculinity through its lead character, Maddy. In a recent interview, Madhavan acknowledged the critique but urged viewers to consider the broader cinematic context. Speaking to HTCity, Madhavan said, 'If you look back at any Hindi film or film hero, you'll find that he is completely flawed. Because that's part of the way Indian culture has been represented. There's nobody, there's no actor in the Hindi film industry whose one film or the other is not toxic masculinity. Don't take only Rehnaa Hai Tere Dil Mein; take any film before that. Any hero who has slapped a woman on the set or in the story is toxic." The Dhurandhar actor continued, 'Name one actor who has not done that or any actor who's abused a woman. So if you look at it in retrospect, then you're going to confuse yourself completely. What are the circumstances under which that guy fell in love?" Madhavan pointed out how, in earlier times, especially in small towns and villages, the lack of digital communication meant people met during social gatherings. He explained that if a man were to see a woman on a train and want to approach her with honest intentions, today's standards might label even innocent gestures as inappropriate. 'If he keeps a letter the woman gives, it is considered creepy," he noted, suggesting that the framework for interpreting such actions needs to evolve with time. The actor concluded with a thought-provoking remark: 'So, we have to change our understanding of what masculinity is right now." First Published:

R Madhavan defends Rehnaa Hai Tere Dil Mein from misogyny debate: ‘Every Hindi film hero has slapped a woman on the set'
R Madhavan, who is currently promoting his upcoming film Aap Jaisa Koi alongside Fatima Sana Shaikh, has addressed the long-standing criticism around toxic masculinity in Hindi films. The actor also responded to the continued discourse surrounding his cult classic Rehnaa Hai Tere Dil Mein (RHTDM), which in recent years has been called out for promoting problematic male behaviour. In a recent interview with Hindustan Times, Madhavan shared his thoughts on the portrayal of flawed male characters and urged audiences to view older films within the social and cultural context in which they were made. 'Every Hindi film hero is flawed' 'If you look back at any Hindi film or film hero, you'll find that he is completely flawed,' Madhavan said. 'That's part of the way Indian culture has been represented. There's no actor in the Hindi film industry whose one film or the other is not toxic masculinity.' Using RHTDM as a reference point, he added, 'Don't take only Rehnaa Hai Tere Dil Mein; take any film before that.

The Dhokha Round D Corner actor went on to reflect on how older films mirrored the socio-cultural norms of the time. He spoke about a time before mobile phones, especially in rural settings, where social functions were often the only way men and women could meet. He added, 'If a guy sees a woman on a train and wants to approach her with noble intentions, what is the way to do that? If he keeps a letter she gave, it's considered creepy. So, we have to change our understanding of what masculinity is right now.' R Madhavan's Charming New Avatar Goes Viral Madhavan says perception of masculinity must evolve with time Concluding his thoughts, Madhavan acknowledged that masculinity, as a concept, has evolved and must continue to be redefined. However, he suggested that critiquing older characters through today's lens without considering the societal context may lead to oversimplified conclusions. Aap Jaisa Koi, his upcoming film with Fatima Sana Shaikh, reportedly explores themes like emotional abuse, gender roles, and how masculinity manifests in relationships. The film is expected to bring a more layered and contemporary take on these complex issues.
