Kareena Kapoor is undoubtedly one of the hottest divas in Bollywood. Be it her gorgeous beauty, charismatic personality, enviable physique or incomparable acting mettle, Bebo has got it all covered. Time and again, Kareena has mesmerised the fans with her presence and banter, which woos hearts in no time. Moreover, she is also known for her stunning sartorial picks, which simply redefine her beauty over and over again. For the unversed, the diva is married to actor, Saif Ali Khan and the duo is blessed with their sons, Taimur and Jehangir.
In a recent interview with Film Companion, Kareena Kapoor opened up about accepting her age as it is and revealed that despite being married and becoming a mother of two kids, she isn’t shy to embrace her glamorous side as always. Referring to the frequent compliment of being the hot padosan, that she received for her role in the upcoming OTT series, Jaane Jaan, Bebo shared that she loves it. In her words:
“It’s a great time, I have two children, I’m a proud wife, proud homemaker and mother. I also love my glamorous side, which I know my fans connect to. And they’ve been so loyal. It doesn’t matter that I’ve been married and have two children. Age is just a number. I’m turning 43. It’s a great time to be in the movies. And ‘hot padosan’? I think it’s a great compliment.”

Spilling more beans in the same interview, Kareena addressed the notions of ageism, that the Hindi film industry has been notoriously attributed to. She opened up and revealed, whether, as a result of presumed age-shaming, she faced any difficulties landing up on decent opportunities. Answering the issue, Bebo mentioned that she has done everything in her personal life at the right time, and thankfully, her work life has always remained at peace, since she is getting suitable opportunities. She mentioned:
“Having seen so many failures and successes in the industry, films happen and don’t happen, it makes you a strong person. For me, everything happened at the right time. I got married, I had children. I decided to work. I’m at peace with the work I’m getting, that also relaxes you.”
In the concluding segment of the interview, Kareena Kapoor revealed if she was scared to accept her age, and is guilty of photoshopping her images as a result of it. She mentioned that she is living her best life as it is, and stated that she feels growing old is a normal course of every human life. Elaborating more, Kareena stated:
“I’m not trying to photoshop my images too much. Sometimes people say, no, no, you should. I’m like, some days I’m going to look tired, because I’m human, and my fans should know that. We’re not always going to be 20, and thank god for that; I don’t want to be 20. I’m having the time of my life, and I’m still the hot padosan.”
