Kareena talks about taking Kapoor legacy forward with Karisma before Ranbir came; fans say ‘Karisma walked before…'
The Kapoor Khandaan is not just a family of actors. They are Bollywood royalty, who have a profound legacy behind them. Currently the members from the clan who are majorly ruling the industry include Kareena Kapoor Khan (44), her cousin brother Ranbir Kapoor (42) and his wife Alia Bhatt Kapoor (32). More often than not, RK is described as the 'chirag' of the Kapoor Khandaan, with his impactful screen presence, crazy fan-following and exciting line up of films. But in a recent interview, Kareena gave the credit of taking forward their family's legacy to herself and her sister Karisma Kapoor (51), who was the queen of hearts in the 1990s and early 2000s.

In a chat with Barkha Dutt, actor Kareena Kapoor Khan was quoted saying, 'I think we've carried on the Kapoor legacy. It was only me and Karishma before Ranbir came in. So the two girls, actually like my mother says, they're not tigresses, they are tigers because they did take the legacy forward.' While Ranbir Kapoor began his acting journey 18 years ago, Kareena completed 25 years in the industry this year. But Karisma Kapoor was the first Kapoor woman to enter mainstream cinema 34 years ago, breaking the family's tradition of having only male stars. Is this true?

Well, netizens across social media agree with Kareena. At least partially, about how Karisma took forward the family's legacy. Under a viral Reddit thread, one fan shared, 'Karishma walked before Kareena and Ranbir could run,' whereas another agreed and wrote, 'Karishma ran before Kareena and Ranbir could crawl.' A comment read, 'Definitely…Karishma made it easier. Atleast we used to know Kareena as 'Karishma ki behen' almost all my childhood,' whereas another fan opined, '100% true! Give the girls the credit. Ranbir was declared the 'future of Bollywood' on day 1… and yes he is good actor but he didn't have to toil like Karishma had to prove her worth!'

Is Taylor Swift Engaged? Fans Spot Her Flaunting Ring On Travis Kelce's Phone Wallpaper
Last Updated: Taylor Swift fans think she's engaged after spotting a ring on Kelce's phone wallpaper in his new Instagram dump. Is Taylor Swift engaged? That's the burning question Swifties are asking after eagle-eyed fans spotted something very interesting in Travis Kelce's latest Instagram post. The NFL star shared a photo dump on July 24, and while the loved-up pics of him and Taylor were sweet, one image in particular has everyone talking. In one photo taken at a restaurant, both Swift and Kelce's phones are visible on the table and their lock screens feature never-before-seen pictures of them together. But what truly set off engagement rumours was the wallpaper on Kelce's phone, which appears to show Taylor flashing a ring on her left hand. Swifties were quick to connect the dots, wondering if the couple had secretly gotten engaged. 'That looks like an engagement ring," one user wrote on Reddit. 'Did we just soft-launch an engagement?" another chimed in. While fans were buzzing, others noted the image on Kelce's phone seems to be from Swift's July 6 Eras Tour stop in Amsterdam, which Kelce attended. In the snap, Swift is seen in a bodysuit, while Kelce is in a white top—matching paparazzi photos from the concert night. Whether the ring is a prop, a trick of the light, or a real diamond sparkler remains unclear. View this post on Instagram A post shared by Travis Kelce (@killatrav) The photo dump was the first time Kelce posted Taylor on his grid since the two began dating in September 2023. From snowy cuddles and boat rides to matching hats that read 'Captain" and 'First Mate," the photos gave a rare peek into their off-season adventures—Lake Como, Montana, and even an ice rink moment made the cut. Kelce captioned the post: 'Had some adventures this offseason, kept it 💯." Fans also spotted Swift's friend Este Haim and Kelce's close pal Ross Travis tagged in the photos. One cave snap, a snow-filled group cuddle, and Swift lifting her arms gleefully in the snow added to the montage's cozy, couple-goals vibe. While there's no official confirmation of an engagement yet, the buzz is louder than ever. Until Taylor or Travis confirm anything, fans will keep sleuthing and speculating.

Saiyaara Actor Aneet Padda Imitates Alia Bhatt In Viral Clip, Reddit Says 'That Was On Point'
Last Updated: Saiyaara star Aneet Padda's Alia Bhatt impression goes viral on Reddit. Fans call it 'spot on' and praise her charm and talent. Saiyaara breakout star Aneet Padda has been winning hearts all over the internet, not just for her stellar Bollywood debut, but now also for her hilarious and accurate impersonation of Alia Bhatt. A throwback video of the actress mimicking Alia's expressions has gone viral on Reddit, with fans applauding her wit and timing. In the clip, Aneet is seen interacting with a host who jokes, 'She can do a great Alia's face." Aneet then delivers the line, 'I'm sorry, there's no Rishtas for this one," and adds, 'And you know how it would be really disrespectful to make an Alia Bhatt face in front of Pooja Bhatt? So I did just that." The moment drew laughter, and Reddit users couldn't get enough of it. 'She's spot on and such a phenomenally fun and humble person. Love her, love her, love her! And her talent also," read one comment. Another user praised her natural beauty and hoped the industry wouldn't push her into unnecessary cosmetic changes, saying, 'Plz plz plz Bollywood never force her for any unnecessary (downright damaging) plastic surgery." One even pointed out how her 'eyebrow frown was so on point," referring to Alia's signature expression. Saiyaara, directed by Mohit Suri and produced by Yash Raj Films, marks the debut of both Aneet Padda and Ahaan Panday. The film, a romantic drama, revolves around the story of Krish Kapoor, an aspiring musician played by Ahaan, and Vaani Batra, a shy writer portrayed by Aneet. The plot takes a shocking turn that tests their love and decisions. The film's soulful soundtrack and heartfelt storytelling have resonated deeply with the audience. Within just a week of its release, Saiyaara has grossed over Rs 180 crore at the domestic box office, steadily heading toward the Rs 200 crore milestone. The chemistry between the debutants, especially Aneet's screen presence, has been widely praised. First Published: July 25, 2025, 22:46 IST Disclaimer: Comments reflect users' views, not News18's.
