Women Of The Year - Kareena Kapoor Khan

At 38, she is living her best life and she will have it no other way. The actor talks fashion, fitness, food, Instagram stalking, and of course, Taimur.

On any given day, log on to Instagram, and chances are your feed has been taken over by Kareena Kapoor Khan. There’s Kareena hitting the gym (more on her much-discussed ‘gym look’ later), there’s Kareena with her statement bag and pap-repelling sunglasses, having lunch with her girl gang (Malaika Arora Khan, Karisma Kapoor and Amrita Arora). There’s Kareena at the airport, wearing a slick blazer and boots (her favourite look, if you must know). There’s Kareena at Mehboob Studio, in track pants and a tee, in between shots. There’s Kareena taking Taimur (a social media sensation if there ever was one!) out for the day. You get the drift. We are a culture that, while new to the pervasiveness of the paparazzi, has embraced it in its totality. Here’s a woman going through her day, and her somewhat mundane errands and routine become constant talking points in a 24-hour news cycle. It’s no surprise then that social media is a large part of my conversation with Kareena. We’re in her trailer as she preps for another medium, her new radio show. “I’m excited to be interviewing Sunny Leone today. She’s so badass, and bindaas. And I love how private she is,” she tells me about the show that will touch on important women-focused topics.

Ironically, the woman in question is not on so-cial media, at least not officially, but yes, “I’m stalking!” she says, laughing. Who is she fol-lowing, then?
