Kareena Kapoor Instagram – Bazaar India’s 14th Anniversary Issue coverstar is cinema royalty—for she has dominated the silver screen for over two decades now. Kareena Kapoor Khan (@kareenakapoorkhan) is calmer, stronger, and wiser, as she nears 23 glorious years in Indian cinema. In conversation with Bazaar India Editor Nandini Bhalla (@nandinibhalla), the 42-year-old opens up about evolving as an individual, mastering the art of staying relevant in today’s times, and more. ⠀⠀⠀ An excerpt from the interview: Nandini Bhalla: Kareena, what, according to you, does it mean to be a star? Kareena Kapoor Khan: “I don’t consider myself a star. I believe everyone is special, and I think today, everyone wants to be known as an actor…not a star. That is the new standard of cinema, as it should be, you know? In my own family, I have seen Shammi [Kapoor] uncle, Shashi Kapoor, and Rishi Kapoor…who were some of the finest actors. So, for me, it was always about being a good actor rather than being just a ‘star’.” Editor: Nandini Bhalla (@nandinibhalla) Photographs: Sasha Jairam (@sashajairam) Styling: Divyak D’Souza (@divyakdsouza) Make-Up: Mickey Contractor (@mickeycontractor) Hair: Yianni Tsapatori (@yiannitsapatori) Fashion Assistant: Jhanvi Pallicha (@jhanvi_pallicha) Artist’s PR Agency: Think Talkies (@think_talkies) Artist’s Management: Naina Sawhney (@nainas89), Versis Entertainment (@versis_entertainment) Production: P Productions (@p.productions_) Kareena is wearing an asymmetric tie-dye dress and yellow rubber corset, both Bloni (@bloni.atelier) and Serpenti High Jewelry Necklace, Bulgari (@bulgari) Read our covergirl’s full interview in the latest issue of Bazaar India, on stands now. . . . . . . #BazaarIndia #KareenaKapoorKhan #BazaarIndiaCover
