Kareena Kapoor
Forty and fabulous is true.
Take Charlize Theron.
At 40, she kicked solid butt as Furiosa and stole a march on Tom Hardy’s titular character in Mad Max: Fury Road.
‘It’s such a misconception that actresses -- any woman for that matter -- are on a downwards slope when they hit 40,’ she says.
Back in Bollywood too, 40 is looking better than ever for our leading ladies.
Once relegated to playing bhabhi or mommy roles or entirely disappearing from limelight to focus on her family life, the Hindi film heroine is staying put.
Though the likes of Sharmila Tagore, Shabana Azmi, Rekha, Dimple Kapadia, Raakhee and Hema Malini have stayed active well beyond the big 4-O, it wasn’t as mainstream as one would have liked.
As the latest entrant in the 40s club, Kareena Kapoor is juggling her personal and professional worlds just fine. Earlier too, marriage to Saif Ali Khan or raising the most famous kid in the country never came in the way of her job.
The actress worked all through her first pregnancy and soon after it.
Ditto for next one on the way due in early 2021. As is her big movie Laal Singh Chaddha opposite Aamir Khan, an official remake of Forrest Gump.

The Best Places to Travel in September
September is the unsung hero of travel months: The busiest vacation season has come and gone, places are less crowded because kids are back in school, and as a result, prices on airfare, accommodations, and even attractions have dropped. It's the perfect time to pay a visit to locations that are usually swarming with tourists and enjoy some serious natural beauty, luxury hotels, outdoor adventures, and more than a few glasses of wine.

In 2019, Pakistan sent Cake as its official entry for the Best International Film Oscar. Two years later, Abbasi was back with his explosive feminist series Churails, backed by India's Zindagi channel and Producer Shailja Kejriwal.
