Why Kareena Kapoor Chooses Natural Aging Over Cosmetic Surgery

In an industry where cosmetic surgeries are often seen as a quick fix for aging, Bollywood diva Kareena Kapoor Khan stands out by embracing the natural process of getting older. At the launch of nutritionist Rutuja Diwekar’s book The Commonsense Diet, Kareena shared her personal philosophy on aging gracefully, and why she avoids procedures like Botox and other cosmetic enhancements.

For Kareena, aging is something to be embraced, not fought against. “Age is just a number,” she says, focusing more on her overall health and fitness than on looking a certain way. Her main goal is to stay active and healthy enough to continue working in the industry for as long as she can. “I want to keep working on film sets even at 70 or 75 and continue until I’m 85. I want to be able to bend down to pick up my grandchildren and remain independent, without relying on anyone or a walking stick,” she explains.

Instead of turning to skin treatments, Kareena focuses on a well-rounded, holistic approach to aging. “For me, it’s not about how I look but how I feel. I focus on eating right, staying mobile, and maintaining muscle strength through weight training, walking, and Surya Namaskars,” she adds. Her commitment to a healthy lifestyle is evident in her daily routine, which includes regular exercise and mindfulness practices that help her maintain both physical and mental well-being.

Kareena has always been a role model for many women, not just for her acting skills but also for her unapologetic confidence. She’s been in the industry for over two decades, breaking stereotypes with every role she takes on, whether in her early films like Kabhi Khushi Kabhie Gham or more recent performances in Good Newwz and Laal Singh Chaddha. Kareena has shown that her beauty and strength come from within, embracing her imperfections and aging naturally.

In addition to her thriving acting career, Kareena’s debut as a producer in The Buckingham Murders has shown her versatility. As a producer and actress, she continues to challenge herself with new roles, both behind and in front of the camera. Her ability to balance family life with a successful career also makes her a powerful symbol of modern womanhood, juggling multiple roles with grace and ease.

Kareena’s approach to aging and self-care is a refreshing reminder that beauty doesn’t have to come from a needle or a scalpel – it’s about how we nurture ourselves and the confidence we carry into each stage of life.
