Kareena Kapoor Khan, who is looking her best self nowadays after shedding all the extra weight after the birth of her son Taimur, says her journey in the film industry has been enriching and she would like to work another two decades in Bollywood. “It’s been honorable and I would say enriching. It has been 18 years and still counting. I hope to work for another two decades,” Kareena told IANS in an interview.

Kareena, who made her acting debut in 2000 with Refugee, has many successful films like Jab We Met, Kabhi Khushi Kabhie Gham, Talaash: The Hunt Begins…, Yuva, Omkara and Udta Punjab, to her credit. And she is also considered one of the most flawless beauties in Bollywood. After embracing motherhoood with the birth of Taimur with husband Saif Ali Khan in December 2016, Kareena is now geared up for Shashanka Ghosh’s Veere Di Wedding, a romantic comedy co-starring Sonam Kapoor, Swara Bhasker and Shikha Talsania.

The actress says she is excited about the film. “It comes on June 1 and it is a summer watch. It is an exciting story about four friends. Also, there are two female producers onboard and that is also exciting. It’s a different time in the industry as people are watching more women-centric films. This is a lot more fun and nothing serious. Hopefully, people will enjoy it,” said Kareena.

With so many female faces in one film, was there any catfight? “That is just a myth. We all are friends. Rhea (Kapoor) is a very good friend of mine. The whole idea of the film was to show the story of four friends. It was so much fun and inspiring and even the film was shot with a lot of fun,” said Kareena. The actress walked the runway as grand finale showstopper for designer Anamika Khanna at Lakme Fashion Week (LFW) Summer/ Resort 2018 on Sunday.

Kareena said she is a fan of the designer’s clothes. “Even in this range, she has outdone herself,” said the actress, who is considered a fashion diva, who makes style statements on and off the screen. “For me, it was never about what I am wearing or what I am going to wear. I never thought about it. I wear what I am comfortable in and I think if a person is comfortable in what they wear, he or she looks super stylish.”

The Lakme Absolute Grand Finale brought together the best of Khanna’s contemporary designs interspersed with the diverse nude palette that Lakme has come up with.

Like an every year norm, the Kapoors celebrated Christmas with a brunch at the Late Shashi Kapoor’s Juhu residence. A ritual started by Shashi Kapoor’s wife Jennifer Kendal more than three decades back. When she passed away in 1984, Shashi continued hosting it at his residence to unite the entire Kapoor family under one roof for one day in the year. Talking to mid-day, Randhir Kapoor shared that they are going to continue with this tradition and remember fond memories of his uncle, Shashi Kapoor.

Carrying the legacy forward, the late veteran actor’s son Kunal and Karan hosted the brunch. This noon gave us some of the beautiful clicks of the entire Kapoor family. We saw Taimur taking small baby steps with mother Kareena and father Saif beside him. The inside pictures from the brunch clearly state that Taimur was the man of the party and stole the show from everyone. The little lad was at his jovial best as he played with his uncles Ranbir Kapoor, Aadar Jain and Armaan Jain.

Here are a few glimpses from the party:

A few days ago, Saif, Kareena, Karisma, Babita and everyone left for Pataudi Palace- the ancestral Palace of Saif Ali Khan, to bring in the adorable kid’s first birthday. Aunt Karisma has been giving us the insights from the grand celebration through her Instagram. And we can’t stop gushing over the lovable picture posted by Karisma. She wrote, “Happy 1st birthday our little bundle of joy! #weloveyou#ourbabyboy #babynawab #familyovereverything #throwback#specialmoments.”

Kareena’s close friend and filmmaker Karan Johar also wished the baby boy in his unique style. He wrote, “Happy birthday Taimur!!! I hope you enjoy your times with my babies as much as i have with your mom and dad!!! (sic)”

Recently, Taimur Ali Khan was seen bonding with Karan’s twins- Yash Johar and Roohi Johar at baby Adira Chopra’s (Rani Mukerji and Aditya Chopra’s daughter) birthday bash.

Taimur’s momma, Kareena’s best friend, Amrita Arora Ladak posted an adorable picture of the little lad and wished him.

Also, Kareena Kapoor‘s dietician, Rujuta Diwekar has dedicated an ecological gift to Taimur. She has built a small forest in the name of Taimur Ali Khan in Sonave.

 

A little forest for Taimur A little boy can never have enough of birds, bees and butterflies and so we have put together a small forest as a birthday gift for the little big boy, Taimur, in Sonave. It’s a special forest, one that thrives on intercropping and i hope that as he grows he too will thrive in and celebrate a diverse society. A society where people live together through and due to their distinctions. The forest has about 100 trees on a 1000 sq ft plot. The trees are as young as Taimur, even younger actually, and each one of them is a local, native, climate resilient specie. It will be a forest of the super foods of the future. There are 3 jamuns, 1 jackfruit, 1 amla, 40 Bananas, 14 Moringas, 1 Kokum, 1 Papaya, 5 Seetaphal, 2 Ramphals, 2 Nimbu trees. Besides these it grows 3 different types of native pulses and many Mirchi, Ginger, Turmeric and kari patta plants. Not to mention the green leafy veggies and the genda phools that grow in between. The forest is inspired by Padma Shri Subhash Palekar’s zero budget natural farming where one tree grows symbiotically off another and thus is thrifty on one’s pocket. The forest will become a home for pollinating agents like the butterflies, bees, birds and earthworms. It will help nurture the soil, fix back the nitrogen and minerals in the soil that it grows on, preserve the water table and look elegant and beautiful while doing it all. Here’s to living sustainably! Happy Birthday. #taimuralikhan

Since 'Judwaa 2' has been announced, people can't wait for the film to be released. Varun Dhawan, Taapsee Pannu, and Jacqueline Fernandez have just wrapped up shooting for 'Judwaa 2'. And the makers are trying their level best to make this a blockbuster hit as the original film.

The film is a sequel to 'Judwaa' starring Salman Khan, Karisma Kapoor, and Rambha that made it big at the box office when it was released. From leaving us in splits to making us groove to ‘Tann Tana Tan Tan Tan Tara', Salman's performance was loved by everyone. And the cherry on top was seeing him in a double role.

Keeping in mind how Salman Khan and Karisma Kapoor won our hearts with their epic chemistry in 'Judwaa', Varun and Jacqueline are set to recreate the same magic with Tu Mere Dil Main Bas Ja song for 'Judwaa 2'. We are excited and how!

As per media reports, the song will be picturised at the same location and for the same Varun and Jacqueline have flown to Mauritius. No doubt, it would be pretty interesting to see these two grooving to the 90s hit song.

Varun has been giving us sneak-peeks of what's happening on the sets of 'Judwaa 2' and we got to agree our anticipation is rising day by day. He recently shared a small clip of the film's climax and wrote, “An ass kicking climax. 7 days of mayhem. Blood, sweat and twins can't wait for you guys to see this side #prem #raja #judwaa2.”

And that's not it–Salman is going to play a cameo in the film. Actor Varun Dhawan who will be seen stepping in Salman's shoes took to Instagram and posted a picture of the team. If reports are to be believed there are chances that Karisma Kapoor might play a cameo as well.

#judwaa2 just got bigger. Shot with my childhood hero @beingsalmankhan. I've grown old but he's definitely the same. Can't wait SEPT 29th

As a woman, I am really proud of being a part of this initiative and I hope to see all women out there on the 16th.”
