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. It has become a norm in Bollywood that older actors romance younger actresses on screen. 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.'

Raj Kapoor's strict 'bahu rule' didn't let Mumtaz marry Shammi Kapoor: 'He never wanted...'
Veteran actress Mumtaz was known for her striking performances and box office success. She was once the highest-paid actress in the industry. She called off her wedding with superstar Shammi Kapoor for a specific reason, and eventually married businessman Mayur Madhvani. The actress had to quit acting at the peak of her career because her in-laws didn't want her to work in films. Surprisingly, this was also the reason Mumtaz didn't marry Shammi because Raj Kapoor had a strict rule that his daughters-in-law must not work in the film industry. In a recent interview with Vickey Lalwani, Mumtaz admitted in late 60s, she and Shammi Kapoor wanted to marry after working together in Brahmachari. 'Shammi Kapoor was a very good-looking man, and I liked him. There is nothing to hide, nothing to deny. There was a 17-18 year difference between us, but I didn't care. I wanted to marry him. Whoever he married is a very nice person, a very good human being, a good housewife. But Papa ji (Raj Kapoor) was very strict in those days. There was a rule till he was alive, that ghar ki bahu kaam nahi karegi (daughter-in-law won't work). It was as straightforward as that,' she said. The actress, whose recent films include Sarkari Baccha, Talvar, and Loafer, added that Prithviraj Kapoor's rule was strictly enforced by the Kapoor family. Mumtaz also missed out on being cast in Mera Naam Joker because she was set to become Shammi Kapoor's wife, and it was believed she couldn't wear short clothes. When Mumtaz told Raj Kapoor that she and Shammi had cancelled their plans, he didn't budge. 'The rule was enforced by Prithviraj ji – he never wanted the daughters-in-law to work. He was an old-fashioned man,' she recalled. 'Raj ji said, If you get married in the middle of the movie and you're wearing such short clothes, it would be disastrous. He was right. The Kapoor family is highly respected to this day. They wouldn't want the women of the house wearing revealing clothes and jumping around on screen. There was a rule, and they were right,' she added. When Yash Chopra asked 1000 times to marry Mumtaz, but she… Yash Chopra was crazy in love with Mumtaz. When he was assisting his brother, BR Chopra, he would show up at her house and would propose her. In a same interview, Mumtaz said, 'Not once, he must've asked me 1000 times. But I was not in love with him, so how could I have married him? I'm exaggerating about 1000 times, but he told me several occasions, 'Aye moti, I love you yaar, marry me'. But, you see, to have such a close relationship with anybody, you have to fall in love with the person. You have to be close to the person, and for that, you have to have chemistry. If you don't have the chemistry, how can you live together as a married couple? I never had that chemistry with him.'
