Kareena Kapoor Khan Flags Off Her New Innings Post Motherhood With the Flamboyance of a Queen.

‘‘Nepotism Is Overrated''

Begum, glamour royalty, Bebo... she has many epithets. She’s aced many roles both on and off screen. She’s enjoyed the dizzying heights of success and endured the graceful lows too. But one thing that’s remained constant through Kareena Kapoor Khan’s mesmerising journey of fame is her ability to stay detached from the illusion. She doesn’t make heavy weather about success or failure. Ask her a tantalising question and she has the most sorted answer. She has the proverbial good head on the shoulders. That her smouldering good looks and style are celebrated the world over doesn’t drive her life. What Kareena gets kicks from is doing her own thing. She’s a new mom, but that hasn’t relegated her to the norms of her new duty. She’s out and about. Gymming, socialising and enjoying the limelight like she never left. Because truth be told, she didn’t. Not one to hide her baby bump or baby pictures, Kareena adds the bling in bindaas. Untamed and beautiful, she talks fashion, family and fame with firebrand confidence. Excerpts from a fab and freewheeling chat...

You’re all set to roll once again with Veere Di Wedding... How do you view this new phase in your career?

The idea is just doing something that I love and that’s acting. There’s no game plan. It’s been an organic progression whether in my career or my life. It’s always been about prioritising between my work, my family and other things.

How are the Veere... preps going? What’s the vibe like?
