Kareena Kapoor Khan unafraid to show her wrinkles on camera: 'I don't care if...'

Kareena Kapoor Khan made headlines for her OTT debut this year with the film Jaane Jaan alongside impeccably talented Vijay Varma and Paatal Lok fame Jaideep Ahlawat. Directed by Sujoy Ghosh, the film garnered her recognition and applause for her commendable portrayal of a single mother. The actress, known for her timeless charm and beauty, recently addressed the concern about the emphasization of appearances over the actor’s performance.

Speaking about how female stars are stereotyped based on their appearance, Kareena, in an interview with Film Companion, said, “The industry kind off boxes you to constantly focus on the way you are looking. But I have always tried to break away from that fact. I want to be an actor first. This has been the case right from my first movie.”

Despite this, Kareena asserted her confidence in her looks saying that she is not worried about her fine lines and wrinkles showing up on the camera. Admitting that she wants people to see her beyond her looks, Kareena added that she, now, wants to focus on proving her mettle as an actress. Kareena said, “I am confident about the way I look. I don’t care if my lines are showing because that is just the way I am. I am an actor. Can you look beyond that (appearance), that’s always been a challenge for me. I wanted them to look beyond that. Right from Refugee it has always been about wanting to prove myself as an actor. The star part of it was extremely incidental, but I have done films for that. But now it’s not about that.”

Tillotama Shome who was also present during the conversation said that she never thought of Kareena as a pretty face but as an actor.

Meanwhile, Kareena is all set to entertain the audience with her next project in the role of a detective in Hansal Mehta’s The Buckingham Murders. The film starred Ash Tandon, Ranveer Brar, and Keith Allen in the lead roles. She will also be seen in Rohit Shetty’s Singham Again.
