Khaqan Shahnawaz Slammed for Age Shaming Kareena Kapoor

Khaqan Shahnawaz Draws Criticism for Comments on Kareena Kapoor .Actor Khaqan Shahnawaz is facing backlash after making remarks that many have interpreted as Age Shaming Kareena Kapoor. During a TV show, when a fan expressed their wish to see him work alongside the Bollywood megastar, Khaqan jokingly replied, “I can play her son. Yeah, I can play her son, definitely,” highlighting their age difference.

The comment, which was meant as humor, didn’t sit well with fans of Kareena Kapoor. Social media platforms quickly lit up with criticism, with fans calling the remarks disrespectful. The actor further elaborated during the interview, pointing out that Kareena, known for her iconic roles in films like Jab We Met and Kabhi Khushi Kabhie Gham, is significantly older than him, which is why he believed he could only portray her son onscreen.

This conversation sparked outrage, with many accusing Khaqan Shahnawaz of Age Shaming Kareena Kapoor and unnecessarily drawing attention to age differences. Fans defended Kareena, a celebrated actress with a career spanning over two decades. One fan commented, “Kareena wouldn’t even know who he is; even I’ve never seen any of his dramas.” Another remarked that Khaqan appeared “full of himself” and should show more respect to someone of Kareena’s stature.

The clip of the interview, shared on Instagram, quickly went viral, amassing a flurry of negative comments. Many users criticized the actor’s attitude, while others suggested this controversy might actually boost his visibility. One user remarked, “It’s ironic how remarks like these make people famous, but not for the right reasons.”

This incident has once again sparked discussions about the need for more respectful dialogue in the entertainment industry.
