Kareena Kapoor Says She Is Against Botox, Prefers Natural Ways Of Ageing
Kareena Kapoor has made it clear that cosmetic injections and surgical procedures are not part of her approach to maintaining her appearance. Speaking to Barkha Dutt in an interview with Mojo Story, the actor expressed her strong reservations about Botox and explained what self-care means to her. "I am very against botox, that I have been very, very honest about. I am for self-preservation in a good sense. Which is being healthy, feeling great, natural therapies," she said.
Kareena Kapoor said that looking after herself also involves protecting her abilities as an actor. She considers her talent her biggest strength and believes that taking time away from work is equally important.
"Self preservation is also preserving my talent, because that is my weapon. Taking holidays with family and friends, engaging in different things apart from just being on set is also a form of self-preservation. Rather than the needles and going under the knife," she added.
The actor also spoke about younger women feeling pressured to retain the appearance they had at 18 or 20. She said, "It is terrible that young girls not wanting to look beyond 18 or 20. I am having the best time in my 40s. I have never felt better or even acted better..."
