Kareena Kapoor is a Bollywood superstar on her own terms. She always prefers to keep it real with her fans; be it her fashion statements, onscreen performances, or her views on serious discussions. The actress was recently seen in Crew and won people's hearts with her acting prowess.

Now, in a recent interview, Bebo opened up on how male stars do not have 'comebacks' but female stars have while adding how she has been taken seriously nearly at 44.  

'Today I don’t feel any less than my male counterparts,' says Kareena Kapoor Khan

In a recent interview with The Week, Kareena Kapoor Khan reacted to some comments towards actresses like the word 'comebacks' used for them after they are married and have children. She said that she agreed it is a rarity in the industry. 

"Today I don't feel any less than my male counterparts. What does ‘comeback’ mean? Male stars don’t have comebacks, why do only female stars do? I am married and have two children but so do a lot of male actors in the industry," Kareena added.

In the same interview, Bebo further shared that she was always just stereotyped as Poo or Geet. The actress added that her acting was always outshone by those two characters.

Kareena said, "The actor in me has never been taken seriously. I feel people are discovering me as an artiste now. At nearly 44, I can also give a huge blockbuster. And there is a lot more where that comes from.”
