Actor Kareena Kapoor Khan, at the Express Adda event in Mumbai on Monday, opened up about embracing her forties and sharing unfiltered photos on her Instagram at a time when the industry is obsessed with staying young.

When asked why she chooses to post unfiltered images of herself on social media, Kareena shared how it’s been a natural process for her to accept herself and her age. She said, “There’s no conscious thought to it. I know the industry, everyone wants to always look a certain way. Everyone wants to actually just remain young. That’s the main thing. But I’ve been one person who’s never really been afraid of embracing my age. I turn 43 on 21st of September, and I’m actually having the time of my life. I’m like I love it. I don’t want to ever go back to my 20s or think that I was such a mess then. What I was doing or I was like a little overconfident. I was a little immature and I took some childish decisions. But that was all, of course, part of life and growing up.”

Kareena also emphasised that in the “youth” obsessed world, it is important for people to “embrace yourself”. She said, “So I think in this kind of an industry, I think it’s important to just embrace yourself at whatever age and not try to run behind filters or whatever. Because when people see you and know you, like how I’m having this public chat, I’m not going to be airbrushed or with filters all around me. Of course, I’ll be glamorously dressed because that is something I just like doing. But I won’t be behind the filters. So I’m not that. I just don’t like it. I’m like it’s fine whatever shape, size. I mean I’m just this. This is it. I’ve been there, done that. And now it’s just the way I am.”

About embracing her body and being relaxed after having her two children Taimur Ali Khan and Jeh Ali Khan, Kareena said, “I think being in the forties is just the best part. You know, we women have just got started in some way. I just feel that like personally also, I think I feel a lot more obviously relaxed. And after having my children, I think I’m having a lot more fun.”

On the work front, Kareena was last seen in Laal Singh Chaddha with Aamir Khan. She is now all set to make her OTT debut with Netflix’s Jaane Jaan. The film, directed by Sujoy Ghosh, also stars Vijay Varma and Jaideep Ahlawat.
