In an industry that is obsessed with image management and PR and controlling the news, Kareena Kapoor Khan just doesn’t give a fuck. She’s always been this way. Maybe its the privilege she was born with or maybe its in her genes but unlike other stars, Kareena has truly never cared about anyone’s opinions of her life. She’s done what she’s wanted to do and managed to stay relevant 20 years into her career. Check out some peak moments.

When Bebo delivered Taimur, she obviously put on weight. At the launch of dietician Rujuta Diwekar’s book, Pregnancy Notes, she spoke how she had read some nasty comments about her body online. Kareena didn’t care and said that she would continue to go out and live her best life because she has to take care of her home, her son and her husband and didn’t have time to be ratty.

Bollywood has been haunted by nepotism debates since that interview with Kangana and Karan Johar. Clearly, everyone’s had it with this topic. And it’s hypocritical because people want to watch trash movies but also want to complain. “The audience has made us, no one else has made us. Same people pointing fingers are the ones who have made these nepotistic stars right? Aap jaa re ho na film dekhne? Mat jao. Nobody has forced you. So I don’t understand it. I find this whole discussion is completely weird,” Kareena said in an interview with Barkha Dutt.

When people trolled her for naming her son ‘Taimur’, Kareena said in an interview that Taimur meant iron and if she was going to give birth, she would ensure it would be a child who’s strong and confident. Obviously, the same people who trolled her ended up becoming obsessed with baby Taimur.

During an early Koffee With Karan episode, Kareena was asked what genre of films does she like doing. She said “flops” and laughed. This was a time when she’d delivered multiple box office bombs.

Everyone knows that Kareena turned vegetarian when she was dating Shahid Kapoor who was also vegetarian. In a Koffee with Karan episode, Karan said that “when she was dating Shahid she was this spiritual vegetarian. Now she is this wine drinking type, going to Gstaad, skiing, being an intellectual, reading a book” to which Kareena just said: “I am a method actor in my personal life.”
