00:00Aap apne behen ko kaho itna pout mat kare.
00:02My pout is more like hashtag pout.
00:06Yes.
00:07We love Kareena's pout.
00:09We love her pout.
00:10Oh God.
00:13No, no, tell us what is the recipe of staying relevant?
00:17Well, according to me, I think there is no recipe.
00:22I'd like to just share that for me, it's about moving with the times.
00:27Of course.
00:28With each decade I feel, you know, after spending 27 years in the industry.
00:32Absolutely.
00:33That, you know, the secret for me, my formula, as you would say, is just moving with the times.
00:38Yeah, absolutely.
00:39Tum hamesha itni amazingly radiant kaise lagti ho?
00:43But, I mean, for me to even say it and ask my own sister this question.
00:47Yes, it may seem a bit odd.
00:49But I want you to tell our listeners.
00:51I think, pehle toh main yeh kehna chahungi ki we are blessed with great genes.
00:56I think it's because of our mother.
00:57Our mother.
00:58Uske aage, I think your inner positivity, it could be maybe my inner positivity that
01:03reflects on my face.
01:04So, I think Lolo, you are very, very active.
01:06I mean, I know that you're obviously very active on social media.
01:09But do you think it's helping you in staying relevant?
01:12You know, I said that, you know, it's about, it's not only about being relevant.
01:16But in a certain way, you know, growing and being myself.
01:20I think it's given me a chance to, you know, be connected with my fans.
01:25To have a lot of younger fans.
01:27A lot of exposure.
01:28You know, a lot of exposure.
01:29And like you said, a very relevant point, jo aapne abhi kaha hai is,
01:33to stay in touch and get a lot of younger fans.
01:36Younger fans.
01:37You know, like something like an Instagram, the fan base, you know,
01:40when I check, you know, when you check, is like between 18 to 25.
01:44Yeah.
01:45Which is really amazing, you know, for someone like me to have such young fans.
01:49Everybody gets trolled on social media, including people like me who are not on it.
01:54But tumhe kis cheez ke baare mein troll kiya gaya hai?
01:57Which you would like to share with us?
01:59Honestly?
02:00About you.
02:01About me?
02:03Yes.
02:04So, it's really funny.
02:05It is like, aap apne behen ko kaho, itna pout mat kare.
02:10My pout is more like hashtag pout.
02:13Yes.
02:14Or, we love Kareena's pout.
02:15We love her pout.
02:16Oh my god.
02:17So, you know, it's a mixed bag and it's really funny.
02:19Or then maybe like, if I've not posted a picture in a long time with you or the family,
02:24there's so many of your fans who are like, please ma'am, can you put a picture?
02:28So, I think it's a wonderful relationship also.
02:31Yeah.
02:32You have always been my role model.
02:33But, I think my listeners want to know that who your role model has been.
02:38Well, I think today, Kareena is my inspiration, you know.
02:43We've grown up being so close to each other.
02:46And, we inspire each other.
02:48I think, you know, that's more.
02:49Yeah, I think it's great for two siblings to, you know, to be so close.
02:52Be in the same profession.
02:53Be in the same profession.
02:54Be successful.
02:55And, you know, have so much in common, you know.
02:57I think we give each other advice.
03:00And strength.
03:01And strength and learn from each other.
03:03So, I think my mom, our mother, is my inspiration.
03:08I think my grandmothers have been an inspiration.
03:11Be it, you know, beauty, poise.
03:14And, you know, being single-handedly, having that strength to be focused in bringing up their children so well.
03:21What do you have to say, Lolo, about the comeback pressure?
03:25This word of like, you know, when female actors get married, have babies.
03:30It's a comeback.
03:31Well, I think it's really, frankly, I think it's very unfair.
03:34Because there is a lot of pressure on that woman, on that person.
03:38And tell me, honestly, when anyone in an office takes, you know, leave
03:43and goes on maternity leave and comes back after two months.
03:46Are they making a comeback in the office?
03:48Is it like, oh, you know, Priya is, you know, making a comeback.
03:52Let's see how she's going to do.
03:54Exactly.
03:55I think for us, as actors and people in the film industry,
03:58it is a lot of pressure.
04:00And I feel, in a way, an unfair pressure.
04:02You know, we're like any, you know, any woman out there who's, you know, going on baby leave and comeback.
04:08I think it's also, if I may say, I think it's also because, you know, we are in a visual medium.
04:14You know, it's always about the comeback.
04:15How is she going to look after her baby, after her marriage?
04:18But I think it's really unfair at the same time.
04:19It is, it's terrible.
04:20Because they're not saying, you know, they're making a comeback.
04:22A lawyer is making a comeback in the court.
04:25Let's see how she's going to perform.
04:26Yeah, exactly.
04:27We have the added pressure.
04:28Yes, of course, because we're from the entertainment industry.
04:31You know, Lolo, when young girls at the age of 20 are making statements like,
04:36God, I'm getting old.
04:38That's shocking.
04:39Yeah.
04:40That's just shocking.
04:41It's just shocking.
04:42So, do you think there's a lot of pressure on young women in India right now?
04:45I think it's globally.
04:47Because there's so much exposure everywhere.
04:49And especially the way they look.
04:50Because of social media, because of Instagram, everyone's checking their pictures,
04:54everyone wants to look good.
04:55There's so much awareness out there.
04:57Everybody's worried about getting old.
04:59Why?
05:00At 20, I think, I was really like, I was, I mean, I was flying, remember?
05:05I was enjoying my 20s.
05:06I want to tell all these women out there that if I may say so,
05:09if you see, especially me in my 20s,
05:12I feel I look much better or more better groomed today than I looked in my 20s.
05:17Absolutely.
05:18Please don't feel like that.
05:19As women, I think we doubt ourselves a lot.
05:23Women are always, you know, I mean, of course, probably, you know,
05:25because of the pressures or whatever, but especially after a certain age,
05:28women are always, you know, like, how am I looking?
05:31How am I feeling?
05:32What do you have to say about this?
05:34You know, don't feel like that.
05:36We should all learn to age gracefully.
05:39Absolutely.
05:40And that is something that maybe I must say on this show is my mantra.
05:44You know, just age gracefully because people will love you anyways.
05:48Like wine.
05:49Yeah, like wine.
05:50Like, absolutely.
05:51I think the older, the vintage, the better.
05:53The more beautiful.
