Kareena Kapoor Khan opens up about criticism that Kabir Singh faced

Shahid Kapoor and Kiara Advani starrer Kabir Singh is the highest-grossing film of the year to date. The film received mixed reviews and was also criticised for showing toxic masculinity. A few moviegoers were also not happy with Kiara Advani’s character Pretty.

While many celebs have given their opinion on the criticism the film faced, Kareena Kapoor Khan has also now spoken about it. While talking to a portal, Kareena said, “I haven’t seen the film. But clearly it hasn’t affected anything because the movie has made over 300 crores. So, it’s a double-edged sword. Because there are people who are actually going to watch it and have found something that they love. Otherwise, it is not possible for it to have done so well. But I’m happy that people are talking about it and if you ask me, I don’t personally believe in a character like that because that’s not me as a person. But at the end of the day, it’s a film and it has worked.”


“But I’m happy that people are talking about things and they want their voice to be heard. But they clearly are outnumbered by the people who have loved the film. That’s the reality which is sad,” the actress added.

Talking about Kareena’s movies, the actress was last seen on the big screen in last year’s release Veere Di Wedding. It was her first movie post her maternity break and it turned out to be a super hit at the box office. She will next be seen on the big screen in Good News which is slated to release in December this year. She also has Angrezi Medium and Takht in her kitty.

Meanwhile, after Kabir Singh, Shahid Kapoor has not yet signed any film. Reportedly, he will be seen in the remake of South film Jersey.

Swift breaks down after private meeting

Taylor Swift is shown in tears in backstage footage after meeting survivors and families connected to the Southport stabbing attack. The private meeting took place months after the July 2024 incident, which happened at a Taylor Swift-themed dance workshop and claimed the lives of three young girls.
In the footage, Swift cries in her dressing room as her mother, Andrea, tries to comfort her. Already dressed for the show, she then prepares to perform a three-and-a-half-hour set at London’s Wembley Stadium. Speaking later at the New York premiere of her six-part Disney+ documentary, she says she felt a duty to create “some form of escape” for fans following the tragedy.

Navigating fear and responsibility

Swift says performing after the attack required emotional stamina. The series shows her reflecting on the pressures of her job, explaining that she must both process her feelings and keep lifting her energy for the crowd. The Wembley concert also marked her return to the stage after cancelling three shows in Vienna because of a terrorist threat. She says her team had “dodged a massacre situation” after the CIA uncovered a plot to detonate a bomb at the venue. After two decades of performing, Swift admits that fearing for her fans’ safety is a new and unsettling reality.
