Kareena Kapoor has been a resident face in Bollywood since her film debut in 2000, and it seems unlikely that she will step away from her profession any time soon. During the launch of her nutritionist Rujuta Diwekar's book The Commonsense Diet, the actress disclosed her desire to want to work forever, while maintaining her fitness.
"Age is just a number. I want to always be fit to take on whatever old age brings. I want to be able to do what I have to do, whether I have to go on set also at the age of 70, 75. I want to keep working all my life. I want to be able to bend to pick up my grandchildren. So for that, I need to eat right with her (Rutuja) guidance. That's what for me, ageing and life is." the Kabhi Khushi Kabhie Gham actress said.

Kareena also emphasised that her priorities lie in exercise, like weight training, over botox. “I love it, I'm embracing it, but I'm taking all these particular things, like eating ghee, eating khichdi, doing a little bit of weight training for muscle strength, walking a little, my Surya Namaskars, doing my little work on my own rather than skin treatments and botox."
Throwing back to her teenage life, Kareena shared that she had a healthy relationship with her body. "In my early years when I was chubby, my relationship with food was amazing. It's not like I ever tried to starve myself. I'm very comfortable in my own skin. In my teenage years also, I think I was always really happy to pick up a packet of chips. But I was a confident girl"
"In the last 10–15 years, I have just gone back to the same food. I'm always very happy with it. Because whether it's good for me or bad for me, I just love the fact that it comforts me, it makes me feel happy. I feel amazing. And that's the most important thing for me," she said.
Kareena was last seen in Hansal Mehta’s The Buckingham Murders, now streaming on Netflix.
