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!'

Woman offers ₹4,000 reward for lost Labubu doll: ‘Took her out drinking and…'
A woman in San Francisco has gone viral after sharing a heartfelt — and slightly humorous — plea for the return of her lost Labubu doll, which she misplaced during a night of heavy drinking. The woman, who turned to Reddit for help, shared a poster featuring photos of the pink doll, known for its quirky appearance, as it explored the city and snacked on popcorn chicken with her. 'I took her out for a night of drinking and now I regret getting too lit,' she admitted in the Reddit post, referring to the toy affectionately as 'Labubu'. She offered a $50 ( ₹ 4,175) reward for anyone who might return the missing doll, and asked those with information to get in touch. 'I know it's a long shot but this is part of my grieving process,' she added, later joking in the thread that Labubus were 'for the delulu'. The post drew a mix of reactions. While many Reddit users expressed sympathy and support, a few took the opportunity to poke fun. 'I know it's hard but just buy another one,' one commenter suggested. Another joked, 'It's probably in Oakland by now being sold for parts.' Screengrab from the viral post. Labubu dolls, known for their odd-yet-cute charm, have gained such popularity online that some are now being resold for over 100 times their original price. Fortunately, the story had a happy ending. A kind-hearted fellow collector stepped in and gave the woman a replacement – a 'Lychee Berry' Labubu, just like the one she lost. Though not the exact same doll, it brought her comfort.
