Khaqan Shahnawaz Faces Backlash Over Kareena Kapoor Age Joke

Pakistani actor Khaqan Shahnawaz has come under fire for making disparaging remarks about Bollywood superstar Kareena Kapoor Khan, drawing criticism from fans across India and Pakistan.

During a recent TV show appearance, a fan expressed their wish to see Shahnawaz act alongside Kareena. In response, he joked, “I can play her son. Yeah, I can play her son,” referencing the Jab We Met star’s age. The remark was perceived as dismissive and disrespectful by many.

Kareena’s fans were quick to react on social media. One user remarked, “Kareena wouldn’t even know who he is; I’ve never even seen one of his dramas.” Another accused Shahnawaz of being “full of himself.” The clip, which went viral on Instagram, sparked a wave of criticism, with numerous angry comments condemning his remarks.

Amid the backlash, Kareena Kapoor Khan remained unbothered, focusing on her family. The Bollywood diva recently shared heartwarming moments on Instagram, including a photo of her husband, Saif Ali Khan, walking among dried trees with a red heart emoji. Another image featured her son, Taimur, standing by a beautifully decorated Christmas tree, captioned “Mera Beta” (My Son) with a red heart emoji.

While Shahnawaz faces backlash for his remarks, Kareena seems undeterred, continuing to enjoy festive moments with her loved ones.
