Kareena Kapoor Khan is one of the most talented and successful actresses of Bollywood. She has been in the industry for the past 20 years and has been a part of many amazing films.
The actress is currently busy with the promotions of Angrezi Medium which is slated to release on 13th March 2020. A few days ago, there were reports that Kareena will be seen opposite Shah Rukh Khan in Rajkumar Hirani’s next.
Recently, in an interaction with a tabloid, when she was asked about starring opposite SRK in Hirani’s next, Kareena said, “No, that’s not true. I love and respect Shah Rukh immensely and would love to work with him again. But there’s nothing happening at the moment.”
Kareena and Shah Rukh Khan have earlier worked together in films like Asoka, Kabhi Khushi Kabhie Gham, Don, and Ra. One. The actress has also worked with Rajkumar Hirani in 2009 release 3 Idiots.
Apart from Angrezi Medium, this year, we will also get to see Kareena in Laal Singh Chaddha opposite Aamir Khan. While talking about the Christmas release, the actress said, “I have seen Forrest Gump at least 10 times. Robin Wright’s role in it is beautiful, and I just had to be a part of this adaptation. It is going to be one of my best films. It’s a very different space for me, but I can’t talk much about it at the moment. All I can say is that working with Aamir is beyond spectacular.”
Kareena also has Takht in her kitty which will be directed by Karan Johar and it also stars Ranveer Singh, Alia Bhatt, Vicky Kaushal, Bhumi Pednekar, Janhvi Kapoor and Anil Kapoor.

UK BUSINESSES are increasing their focus on India as a key market following the UK–India Free Trade Agreement (FTA), according to Grant Thornton’s latest International Business Report (IBR).
The report found that 72 per cent of UK firms now see India as a major international growth market, up from 61 per cent last year.
While only 28 per cent currently operate in India, 73 per cent of those without a presence plan to enter the market, including 13 per cent within the next year.
The Britain Meets India 2024 report said 667 British companies are already operating in India, generating £47.5 billion in revenue and employing over 516,000 people.
Among Indian firms, 99 per cent of those already in the UK plan to expand, while nearly 90 per cent of those not yet present intend to set up operations.
Anuj Chande, Partner and Head of South Asia Business Group at Grant Thornton UK, said: “The shift we’re seeing is clear: UK mid-market businesses are no longer asking ‘why India’ — they are asking ‘how soon’.
“With 73 per cent of firms planning to establish operations in India and over half of existing players looking to scale up within a year, this is a pivotal moment. The UK–India FTA is a game-changer, reducing entry barriers and accelerating opportunity, but it won’t remove the complexity of operating in a fragmented and dynamic market.”
Chande added that the recent UK trade delegation accompanying the Prime Minister’s visit has added to the impetus to trade and invest with India.
However, 63 per cent of UK firms cited regulation and foreign exchange controls as the main barriers to operating in India, while 38 per cent mentioned infrastructure gaps. For Indian companies, tariffs, regulation, and the UK’s fragmented regulatory system were the key concerns.
Despite the challenges, 21 per cent of UK businesses said they had no concerns about the FTA and viewed it as wholly beneficial.
