April 3, 2025: Bollywood star Kareena Kapoor Khan recently shared her thoughts on aging gracefully and staying fit without relying on cosmetic surgeries, at the launch event of nutritionist Rutuja Diwekar’s book The Commonsense Diet in Mumbai.
The actress, who has always been known for her natural beauty and confidence, expressed her preference for aging without the help of skin treatments like botox. “Age is just a number,” Kareena said, emphasizing the importance of maintaining fitness and mobility as she grows older. “My only thing is I always want to be fit to take on whatever old age brings. I want to be able to do what I have to do whether it’s going to sets at 70, 75. I want to keep working until 85, all my life. I want to be able to bend to pick up my grandchildren. I want to do things and not be dependent on someone or a stick,” she added.
The actress explained that her focus is on feeling good rather than looking a certain way, and she has been embracing healthy habits to stay active and strong. “For that, I have to eat right and have mobility to work out. It’s not about the way I look, it’s about the way I feel, and that’s what for me, aging and life is. I am embracing it but I’m taking all these particular things, like eating ghee, eating khichdi, doing a little bit of weight training for muscle strength, walking a little, my Surya Namaskars, doing my little work on my own rather than skin treatments and botox.”
On the professional front, Kareena recently captivated the audience at the gala celebrating 25 years of Lakme Fashion Week. Reflecting on her journey with the brand, Kareena recalled her different ramp walks over the years, from her size-zero days to walking the ramp during her pregnancy with her son, Taimur.
“I do everything with my heart. So, whether it was walking the ramp when I was size-zero or walking the ramp with Taimur in my belly, or whether it was, you know, size 10 or 12, that never really mattered. What mattered was my heart… my heart was on stage… was with each and every designer that I walked for was also in my confidence. Thank you Lakme for having me… I enjoyed my time,” Kareena shared during the event.
Kareena, who has been the face of Lakme for many years, walked the ramp for eminent designers and also announced her renewed association with the brand.
Kareena Kapoor Khan’s approach to fitness, beauty, and aging gracefully continues to inspire her fans, as she shows that confidence and natural beauty are timeless.
