Kareena Kapoor, 44, To Romance Actor In His Early 20s In Next Film? Know Here
As per reports, Kareena Kapoor will play a ghost in the film and romance an actor nearly 20 years younger than her. Kareena Kapoor is reportedly set to play a ghost in her upcoming film. As per reports, she will also romance an actor much younger than her. The Bollywood actress is 44 years old, and reports mention that she will be paired opposite an actor who will be nearly 20 years younger than her. A Deccan Chronicle quoted their source as saying, 'This quirky story featuring Kareena as a ghost has a refreshing script and will carve out a new space in the ghost genre. It's a fun, genre-bending take, and Kareena is perfect for it." The report also mentions that the film is written by Hussain Dalal, who is known for his frequent collaborations with Ayan Mukerji, including Brahmastra Part 1. The report claims that the film will feature Kareena romancing an actor in his early 20s. However, an official confirmation on this is awaited.

Recently, Ranveer Singh was called out on social media for romancing Sara Arjun on screen, who was reportedly only 18 years old during the shoot of Dhurandhar. Ranveer Singh was 38 at the time. Amid this, the report about Kareena romancing a younger actor has particularly caught everyone's attention. However, it is important to note that the speculations are yet to be confirmed. Meanwhile, Kareena Kapoor, who recently completed 25 years in films, will next be seen in Daayra. Known for delivering powerful films such as Raazi and Talvar together, Junglee Pictures reunites with acclaimed director Meghna Gulzar for the third time for their next film—Daayra. The film taps into the pulse of the people as it confronts the topical and diabolical realities unfolding in society today. This crime-drama thriller explores the age-old paradox of crime, punishment, and justice with powerhouse actors Kareena Kapoor Khan and Prithviraj Sukumaran in intense, commanding roles. Co-written by Yash and Sima alongside Meghna Gulzar, the film is currently in pre-production. With an intriguing storyline and a stellar team, Daayra marks Meghna's next directorial after Sam Bahadur (2023), promising a gritty and nuanced exploration of crime and punishment, justice, and truth.

Kareena Kapoor says Randhir Kapoor-Babita decided to ‘spend old age holding hands together' after years of separation
Bollywood stars Kareena Kapoor and Karisma Kapoor's parents, Randhir Kapoor and Babita Kapoor, separated in 1988 but never filed for divorce. After that, Babita had been the primary parent to Kareena and Karisma. Now, in an interview with Mojo Story, Kareena revealed that her parents have decided to spend their old age together after being apart for years. Kareena Kapoor expresses happiness about Randhir Kapoor and Babita deciding to stay together again. Kareena spoke about her parents' unconventional family and said, "Everyone's parents are the best parents in the world. And my parents are the best parents in the world. Now, they have decided to just spend their old age holding hands together because that's where their journey started, and that's exactly where they are together." Kareena Kapoor on Randhir-Babita getting back together Kareena further expressed her feelings about Randhir and Babita's decision to stay together again and said, 'That is something that has come a full circle for Karisma and me, which is absolutely, it's like a divine kind of intervention which has happened. Individually, I think both of them have been wonderful because I mean my father has always supported whatever I wanted to do in my life. They were very supportive." Kareena spoke about how she and Karisma carried the Kapoor legacy forward and revealed that her father, Randhir, also appreciated Babita for allowing them to grow and letting them make an impact with their performances. Randhir Kapoor and Babita Kapoor's relationship Randhir married actor Babita in 1971. The couple met during their early days in the film industry and fell in love while working together in films like Kal Aaj Aur Kal. However, their relationship faced challenges due to differences over career choices. Babita stepped away from acting after marriage, as was expected at the time. Later, in 1988, Babita separated from Randhir and moved out with her daughters. Despite living separately for decades, the couple never divorced. Randhir and Babita remained on cordial terms and were often seen together at family events and celebrations, reflecting mutual respect and affection despite their estrangement. Kareena Kapoor's upcoming movie Kareena will next be seen in Meghna Gulzar's film Daayra. The film also stars Prithviraj Sukumaran in the lead role. Sharing her excitement about the film, Kareena wrote on Instagram, "As I celebrate 25 incredible years in Hindi cinema, I'm thrilled to announce my next film, Daayra, with the incredible Meghna Gulzar in the director's chair. I've long admired her work, from Talvar to Raazi, and to be directed by her is a dream come true. The opportunity to collaborate with the talented Prithviraj is also a highlight, and I'm drawn to the film's bold, thought-provoking narrative. Daayra promises to be a cinematic experience that challenges and inspires, and I look forward to working with Meghna, Prithviraj, and the team at Junglee Pictures on this powerful, timely film.'

Kareena Kapoor-Saif Ali Khan's ‘mundane' day and routine is too surprising for glam world
Everything about Kareena Kapoor and Saif Ali Khan is phenomenal. The ardent fans of the royal couple are always interested in getting insights about their lifestyle. In a new interview, the Daayra actress opened up about her routine and what their 'mundane' day looks like. Her answer is bound to surprise you as it is not something you might have expected. In a recent interview with Nod Magazine, Kareena Kapoor stated that the pandemic taught her the joy of doing things together, slowing down, and finding joy in the mundane. She called her brick-stone kitchen 'the happiest part of the house.' Reflecting on a 'mundane' day, Bebo shared that she and her husband, Saif Ali Khan, love cooking together as a family. 'Saif, the kids, me—we're all in the kitchen,' she says. In fact, the royal couple blends spices and cultures well. Kareena revealed that Saif Ali Khan is 'obsessed' with Kerala cuisine and that he is always trying out new recipes, including idiyappams, coconut-based stews, and everything. She, on the other hand, needs a proper Indian meal a day, which is a 'non-negotiable' for her. Growing personally and professionally, Bebo's choices have also evolved over the years. She is now focusing on a routine that is more monastic. She revealed that she has her dinner by 6 pm, goes to sleep by 9:30 pm, and works out early in the morning 'before the world wakes up.' The 44-year-old mentioned, 'My friends know not to expect me at parties. And they respect that,' further adding on a lighter note that they know she would be watching Schitt's Creek on low volume. In addition to this, the actress expressed happiness that she has moved past the stage of constantly running from one thing to the next. According to her, she realized the importance of fitness post-COVID, not for vanity, but for one's overall well-being. The actress is often seen sharing her fitness goals through yoga sessions and strength training videos, which she says are her 'mood stabilizer.' Workwise, Bebo has also dabbled in the digital space with projects like The Buckingham Murders and Jaane Jaan, striking a balance with commercial films like Crew and Singham Again. To this, the actress reasons that it is no longer about quantity for her, but about choosing the right roles, which challenge and excite her. 'I want to preserve my energy, my talent, myself,' she said. Last seen in Singham Again, Kareena will next be seen in Daayra, which will be directed by Meghna Gulzar, known for movies like Raazi and Sam Bahadur. The film, backed by Junglee Pictures, also features Prithviraj Sukumaran in a key role. The upcoming crime-drama film addresses the topical and diabolical realities unfolding in society today. Co-written by Yash and Sima alongside Meghna, the film is currently in pre-production. In addition to this, she will also be seen in Netflix's reality drama show, Dining With The Kapoors. The show will feature the entire Kapoor clan, including Neetu Kapoor, Ranbir Kapoor, Riddhima Kapoor Sahni, Randhir Kapoor, and Karisma Kapoor, among others, who will share their filmy memories and personal experiences in the upcoming show. The show was announced earlier this year, along with a special slate of movie and web show announcements by the streaming giant. 'A seat at the table with one of the oldest and grandest Bollywood families,' the streaming giant had written with the official announcement.
