Forever Queen

The year 2023 has been rather eventful for Kareena Kapoor Khan in her newfound pursuit of artistic merit over mere stardom. By her own admission, Kareena wanted a “makeover” for what she was doing.

“I am glad to have embarked on a new phase in my career, in which my focus has changed markedly. While I am eager to work, I am keen on stuff that excites me rather than acceding to what people want me to do,” she says.

If her recent releases and forthcoming projects are anything to go by, Kareena is on a mission. In an age where following the latest trends is considered the mantra for success, Kareena took her own sweet time to get onto the OTT bandwagon. In fact, she made her OTT debut with Jaane Jaan in her 23rd year in the Hindi film industry. Point this out and she says, “I have always been like this—only doing work I want to do. I am grateful for the privilege, and I have also made some questionable choices. But mostly, it’s been to do with whatever I wanted to do at that point of time.”
