Kareena Kapoor Khan Shares Her Views On Aging: ‘Fitness Comes First, Age Is Just a Number’

At the launch of her nutritionist Rujuta Diwekar’s book, The Commonsense Diet, the 44-year-old actress opened up about her desire to stay fit and independent as she ages.

Kareena, who shares two sons, Taimur and Jeh, with her husband Saif Ali Khan, emphasized that she wants to maintain her autonomy in everyday life, without depending on someone or a stick.

She expressed, “Age is merely a number. My goal is to stay fit enough to embrace whatever aging brings. I want to continue working, even if that means being on set at 70 or 75. I also hope to be active enough to play with my grandchildren. To achieve this, I need to maintain a healthy diet with her guidance.

She continued, “For me, that’s what aging and life are all about. I love it and I’m embracing it. I focus on things like eating ghee, having khichdi, incorporating weight training for muscle strength, taking walks, doing my Surya Namaskars, and handling my own tasks, rather than relying on skin treatments or Botox.”

Kareena, famous for her portrayal of the spirited and self-assured Geet in Jab We Met (2007), still holds on to her iconic line, “Main apni favourite hoon.”

She further explained, “That’s the mindset every woman should have because self-belief is everything. Regardless of how you feel, it’s important to remind yourself of your worth every day, and over time, others will start to see it too.

Kareena opened up about gaining 25 kg after the birth of her second son, Jeh, in 2021, and how it made her briefly question her appearance.

This is what she was ablew to recall, “There was a moment, right after Jeh’s birth, when I thought, ‘Oh no, I have to do this all over again.’ But it was just a fleeting thought. Then I quickly reminded myself, ‘It’s okay. I still look great.
