Kareena Kapoor Khan recently shared insights into her marriage with fellow actor Saif Ali Khan in an interview with The Week. With a touch of humor, she mentioned that Saif sometimes takes her “for granted.”
Kareena talked about balancing her professional and personal life, highlighting the importance of family time. “It’s very tough being married to an actor,” she admitted. “Sometimes, he’s sleeping when I’ve left for work. Even though we live in the same house, we’re trying to make time for the kids. Two actors in the same house can be challenging.”
Despite the challenges, Kareena believes her marriage has positively changed her. “I’ve changed for the better,” she said, noting that Saif helps keep her grounded when she’s feeling overwhelmed. “He grounds me when I’m going a little crazy.”
The couple often seeks advice from each other, though Kareena joked about the effectiveness of her advice. “I always ask him for advice, and he does ask me too. I don’t know if he takes my advice. I am critical of his films. He hasn’t seen Crew yet because he’s been busy shooting. But I have to watch all his films. So, in that sense, yes, he’s taken me for granted this time.”
Junaid Khan, former Call frontman and an actor clarified on his Instagram Stories regarding him working in an upcoming Bollywood movie.
Lately, there’s been talk about Khushi Kapoor, daughter of late Bollywood star Sridevi and producer Boney Kapoor, getting ready to act with Ibrahim Ali Khan, son of Saif Ali Khan, and Junaid Khan, son of Aamir Khan. But recently, Pakistani actor Junaid Khan added a funny twist to the story.
Junaid went on his Instagram Stories and shared a news piece that wrongly used his picture instead of Aamir’s son.
The former Call frontman talked about the rumors, saying that while he likes the idea of working across borders, the reports connecting him to films with Khushi Kapoor are wrong.
Junaid explained that his name might have been mixed up with the Indian superstar’s son, but he hopes for open borders to make such collaborations possible.
“For all those asking if this is true! They must have confused me with Aamir Khan’s son! But I really truly wish that our borders were open for cross collaborations like it once was!” Junaid said on his IG Stories.
However, Khushi’s growing career is still getting a lot of attention. According to Zee News, she has two exciting movies coming up.
First, she’ll be in a romantic comedy called Naadaniyaan, made by Dharma Productions, where she’ll act alongside Ibrahim Ali Khan. While fans are excited for these movies, Pakistanis can relax now that Junaid has cleared up all the false news.
Bollywood actor Saif Ali Khan has recently been discharged from a hospital after knee and shoulder surgery.
Saif Ali Khan had a fracture in both his knee and his shoulder, which were operated on at the Kokilabin Hospital in Mumbai. His wife, superstar Kareena Kapoor, was present with Saif in the hospital. Saif Ali Khan has said that he had been feeling pain in his hand since a long time, but he did not know how deep the injury was.
According to Saif Ali Khan, while doing an action scene for the film ‘Dewara’, he got injured, after which the intensity of the pain increased. An MRI scan found that the tricep tendon was badly torn. Saif Ali Khan revealed that if the surgery had not been done on time, he could have lost one of his hands. “II only had an injury on my hand, no back or shoulder surgery, it was not a serious surgery due to which I was discharged from the hospital soon.”
Bollywood actor Saif Ali Khan has been admitted at Kokilaben Dhirubhai Ambani Hospital in Mumbai for surgery. It has been reported in Indian media that he has a fractured knee and shoulder, but the details of how that happened are not known yet. There has been no official statement from Saif’s team about the incident.
Saif’s wife, actress Kareena Kapoor Khan, is with him at the hospital. They reached the medical facility at around 8 a.m. on Monday, January 22. Despite trying to get a response from Saif’s team, there has been no official comment about the situation.
Saif Ali Khan and Kareena Kapoor are parents to Two children, Taimur and Jehangir Ali Khan. Saif was previously married to actress Amrita Singh, with whom he has a daughter, actress Sara Ali Khan, and a son, Ibrahim Ali Khan.
A video of Shah Rukh Khan’s younger son AbRam showing his acting skills in a school play has gone viral on social media.
Students at Dhirubhai Ambani International School organized a show for their annual day, featuring dance, drama, and music. Many Bollywood celebrity kids attend the school, and their talents were on full display.
Shah Rukh Khan and Gauri Khan’s son, AbRam, showcased his talent, at one point, striking his father’s famous pose, spreading out his arms just like his father does in his movies, hugging the characters in the play one by one.
Is there anyone who has embodied the Queen Bee persona more than the Bollywood beauty Kareena Kapoor? The actress recently gave an interview at an event in New Delhi where she hilariously revealed that she can’t cook, and it is her husband, actor Saif Ali Khan, who handles that department.
“I can’t even boil water,” the actress joked. “I am a Swiggy and Zomato person. I have a husband and a cook who make the food in this household.”
The ‘Don’ actress went on to praise her husband, whom she married in 2012 and shares two kids with.
“Saif is an amazing cook. He cooks everything. He cooks all types of cuisine, including Italian, like pasta, and pizza. We go through a recipe together and then try to cook it.”
The ‘Veer Di Wedding’ actor also opened up about how the couple are actually home birds, despite being A-list power couple. The two are more fond of cooking at home rather than eating out at restaurants. Kareena said the two spend more time at home during weekends to spend time with their children.
“We try not to work. We try to be at home on weekends. Taimur often says I want to be with my friends”. This is proof that he is growing up fast. We like to cook meals, play games, and play UNO. We also love to cuddle up and be together.”
Bollywood actress Sara Ali Khan was the latest celebrity to feature on the cover of Vogue India. A comment from the interview went viral where the ‘Zarra Hat Ke Zarra Bach Ke’ actress spoke about wanting to come across as more relatable amidst the criticism that she is a nepo-baby. The actress is the daughter of Saif Ali Khan, as well the granddaughter of Sharmila Tagore, and comes from the family of the last ruling Nawab of Pataudi.
“I wear my honesty with more pride than any designer clothes. In fact, I don’t have a single pair of designer clothing in my wardrobe. I know people initially judged me for it but I’m happy that they can now not only appreciate but also identify with me because of these very reasons.”
Many readers were confused by the statement because how does it prove you’re “relatable” and a normal person because you don’t own designer clothes, when everyone knows your royal lineage, especially the fact that you come from a generation of stars? The statement received backlash on social media, with many calling the actress ‘tone-deaf’ and ’embarrassing’ for trying to prove that she was not a nepo-baby.

Bollywood actress Kajol just announced her comeback on Netflix’s ‘Lust Stories 2’ which is directed by Amit Ravindernath Sharma, and opened up about how there are two things completely impossible for her to portray: being sexy or shy.
“There are two things, the word sexy and the word ‘sharam’, I can’t relate with these emotions. When somebody tells me I have to bat my eyelids and act coy, I can’t comprehend it. I don’t understand the emotion, but if you give me a set of features to move in a particular way, I get that.”
The daughter of the actress Tanuja and director Shomu Mukherjee recalled shooting the song “Hothon Pe Bas Tera Naam Hai” for the film ‘Ye Dillagi’ with Saif Ali Khan, and how the late choreographer threatened to hit her because she and Khan couldn’t stop giggling during a sensous scene.
“Everyone’s idea of lust is different. It’s a subjective emotion, more than an objectively explained one,” she said. Asked if she has ever been able to portray this emotion on screen, Kajol said, “I’ve never been able to. Most of the time I depend on my directors. You have to see how much Saroj ji wanted to slap us… On ‘Hothon Pe Bas…’ Saroj ji wanted to hit us. Saif and I couldn’t stop laughing. She’d say, ‘You aren’t taking this seriously, you’re ill-mannered kids’.”
A video of Bollywood actor Saif Ali Khan is resurfacing on social media in which he admits to having regretted passing on Pakistani superstar Fawad Khan’s role in Kapoor & Sons.
Co-guest Kangana Ranaut said that Saif should have done the film while praising the Zindagi Gulzar Hai star for his performance. “Fawad was so good in the film, I love Fawad.”
Earlier in another interview, Said revealed that, “I’m not a petty guy with a narrow-minded mentality. I’m very liberal in my views and can look beyond things. It’d be amazing to have a gay character as one of the roles in my portfolio and I look forward to playing one. It’s got nothing to do with being perceived as an alpha male, like your article argued, as I don’t think I have a particularly macho image. At the time when Kapoor and Sons was offered to me, I didn’t feel it was the right project for me to get into.”
“It’s very sad if people have perceived my rejection of Kapoor and Sons as something to do with homosexuality, something that I wholeheartedly support. Everyone makes mistakes, but when Karan (Johar, film producer) and Shakun (Batra, film director) came to me, I just didn’t feel like doing the film… just like when Sajid Khan came to me, I had felt like doing Humshakals, which now I know was horrible. Shit happens.”
When Shakun Batra’s Kapoor And Sons was released back in 2016, no one had thought that the film would be what it is. It is probably one of the most realistic yet entertaining family films that, instead of painting a rosy picture, gives us a glimpse of what really goes on in a family. The way the vulnerabilities, flaws, and shortcomings of each character were portrayed has been lauded for years and it made us empathize with the family. Fawad Khan was unanimously praised for his acting in the film. His portrayal of a closet man was spot on. However, the role was rejected by multiple A-list actors before it fell in Fawad’s lap.
Popular film critic Rajeev Masand wrote in a leading daily, “As many as half a dozen actors are believed to have turned down the role of the elder brother in Shakun Batra’s hit Kapoor & Sons, before the makers approached Fawad Khan. Saif Ali Khan, Hrithik Roshan, Farhan Akhtar, Shahid Kapoor and Aditya Roy Kapoor were all approached. While some explicitly admitted that they didn’t want to play a character that happens to be gay, others reportedly cited different excuses.”
Rajeev also sighted that Farhan was the only one who gave declined in the most professional way. “Farhan, whom Shakun had assisted previously, said he loved the film but didn’t see himself playing the older sibling. Of the lot, the makers say he was the most professional and upfront about his reservations.”
Pakistan’s only female actor to be nominated in the prestigious Filmfare Best Actress category, Saba Qamar is amongst the biggest names in the Pakistani film & television fraternity.
The Cheekh actress is currently riding high on the success of her back-to-back hits Ghabrana Nahi Hai and Kamli. Saba exclusively revealed in her interview with The Current that she rejected Bollywood films Love Aaj Kal and Delhi 6 early on in her career.
The Baaghi actress said that she turned down Love Aaj Kal because Deepika was doing the female lead part but Saba was offered a parallel role, so she thought that Padukone will overshadow her.
Qamar termed this rejection to be a stupid act of hers.
As for Delhi 6, Saba’s mother didn’t allow her to work in Indian films at that point in time.
The Pani Jaisa Pyar diva was always lured by Bollywood directors and producers for leading roles but she dared to refuse the movies and work on her own terms.
The Hindi Medium star mentioned that she will only work with A-listers like Khans and Kapoors as she is an A-list actress here in Pakistan. She wouldn’t compromise on the production value and the team that she would work with.
Saba made her Bollywood debut in 2017 with Hindi Medium opposite Irrfan Khan.
On the work front, she is currently featuring in ARY Digital’s Fraud opposite Ahsan Khan and Mikaal Zulfiqar.
