Mumbai (Maharashtra), India, April 3 (ANI): Unlike numerous actresses who have opted for surgical procedures to improve their appearance, Bollywood actress Kareena Kapoor Khan likes to avoid cosmetic procedures.
During the launch event for nutritionist Rutuja Diwekar's book 'The Commonsense Diet' in Mumbai, Kareena stressed the importance of aging elegantly and naturally instead of depending on skin treatments such as botox .
"Age is merely a figure. However, my aim is to stay fit enough to handle whatever comes with old age. Whether it means doing repetitions at 70 or even 75, I intend to continue working until I’m around 85. Throughout my lifetime, I wish to remain capable of bending down to lift my grandchildren. I aspire to maintain independence—never needing assistance from another person or relying on a walking aid,” Kareena stated.
To achieve this, I need to maintain proper nutrition and stay mobile enough to exercise. The focus isn’t on how I appear externally; instead, it’s about how I perceive myself internally, which aligns with my perspective on aging and living. While I’m welcoming this process, I also prioritize specific practices such as consuming ghee, having khichdi, engaging slightly in weightlifting for stronger muscles, going for walks, practicing Surya Namaskar, and handling tasks independently rather than skin treatments and botox ," she added.
At the same time, on the work side of things, Kareena recently made a striking impression when she appeared at the event marking 25 years of Lakme Fashion Week.
Reflecting on her fashion journey, she recalled walking the ramp at different stages of her life, from her size-zero days to her pregnancy with son Taimur.
At the event, Kareena stated, “Everything I do comes from the heart. Whether it involved strutting down the runway during my size-zero days or doing so while carrying Taimur, or even being sizes 10 or 12—it didn’t truly make a difference. The important thing was my heart...it felt present onstage...connected with each and every designer whose collection I modeled. Thanks, Lakmé, for including me—I had an amazing time.”
For numerous years, Kareena has represented Lakme. At the recent Lakme Fashion Week, she graced the runway for prominent designers and also extended her contract with the brand once again. (ANI)
