She’s one of Bollywood’s most iconic and enduring stars. But this week, Kareena Kapoor Khan found herself at the center of vicious online trolling — not for a film flop or fashion fail, but simply for daring to age like a normal human being.

A candid photo of Kareena at a recent brand event has gone viral, with visible lines and natural facial creases, sparking a wave of cruel comments calling her “buddhi” (old woman) and mocking her for “losing her youthful glow.”

And now, the internet is deeply divided — is this harmless observation, or blatant age-shaming of women in power?

📸 The Photo That Triggered the Trolls

The viral image shows Kareena in minimal makeup, smiling confidently during a product launch. But instead of applause, a portion of social media zoomed in on her skin:

“Buddhi na si Bebo 😂”
“Those wrinkles tho 😬”
“Time to retire, aunty.”
“She should try her own anti-ageing cream!”

What followed was a barrage of ageist insults, mostly from anonymous users — a disturbing pattern that’s becoming all too familiar in showbiz culture.

👑 Kareena’s Silent Power Move

While the trolls screamed, Kareena said nothing.

Instead, hours after the buzz, she posted a selfie with no filter and the caption:

“Glow through what you go through. 😉💁🏻‍♀️”

With that, she reminded the world: she’s not here to beg for approval. She’s here to live, work, and slay — wrinkles and all.

💬 Fans and Celebs DEFEND Bebo: ‘She’s Real, That’s Power’

Support poured in from Kareena’s fans, feminist voices, and fellow stars:

Sonam Kapoor commented: “Aging is a privilege. And you wear it with elegance.”

Dia Mirza posted: “They troll what they can’t become.”

Netizens wrote:

“She’s 43, glowing, fit, and successful — and these trolls are hiding behind cartoon profile pics?”
“She’s been on our screens for 25 years. Show some respect.”

🎥 The Double Standard: Why Are Only Women Trolled for Ageing?

While stars like Shah Rukh Khan and Amitabh Bachchan are praised for “aging gracefully,” women like Kareena are routinely targeted for looking… human.

“Men get called ‘silver foxes.’ Women get called ‘budhi,’” wrote one fan.
“If wrinkles offend you, maybe log off and look in the mirror,” said another.

This moment has reignited debates about ageism, sexism, and impossible beauty standards — especially in an industry that punishes women for doing what everyone else does: grow older.

👠 Kareena: Still Booking Movies, Endorsing Brands, and Living Loud

Despite the noise, Kareena’s career is far from slowing down. She’s shooting multiple OTT projects, endorsing luxury brands, and managing motherhood with elegance. She remains one of the highest-paid and most respected actresses in India.

And clearly, a few fine lines won’t change that.

🧠 Final Thought: Beauty Fades, But Class is Forever

Kareena Kapoor Khan just taught everyone a lesson — not by clapping back, but by owning her skin, her age, and her presence without apology.

So to the trolls calling her “buddhi”:
She is older. She does have wrinkles.
And she’s still more fabulous, relevant, and powerful than ever before.

Kareena Kapoor Gets Brutally TROLLED And Body-Shamed After She Shares Her Post Workout Selfie; Netizen Says, ‘Kuch Jyada Hi Old Lag Rhi’

Several netizens troll Kareena Kapoor Khan, calling her ‘buddhi’ after her post-workout picture goes viral

There is no denying that actress Kareena Kapoor Khan is aging like a fine wine. Even in her 40s, she manages to turn heads with her utter beauty and fashion sense. However, sometimes, Bebo comes under the radar of nasty trolls, and recently, she got body-shamed for sharing her picture post her intense workout session. Kareena’s selfie has gone viral on social media with several netizens trolling her and saying she “looks older than her age.”

In the picture, the Jab We Met actress can be seen sitting on the stairs and posing, showing off her post-workout glow. With her hair wrapped in a tight bun, she let her skin breathe and had no make-up. Soon after the picture hit the internet, some netizens trolled Kareena. Reacting to the post, one user commented, “Budhi aurat.” Another said, “41 ke hisaab se kuch jyada h old lag rhi…” One comment read, “Skin ko kya hogaya hai kaisi dikh rahi hai.” Many also lauded Kareena for sharing her sans makeup selfie.

This is not the first time when the Veere Di Wedding actress has been body shamed and called ‘buddhi.’ In March this year, Bebo and her BFFs Amrita Arora and Maliaka Arora were body-shamed. Hitting back at trolls, Kareena had penned a note that read, “I keep seeing this on comments! If and when I bother to check, unless it’s the one that comes up on top! So… buddhi is meant to be an insult?? Cos for me it’s just a word.. a word that mean old?! Yes we are older… n wiser… but you are nameless, faceless, ageless? And so are your folks.”

On the work front, Kareena is currently busy promoting her upcoming film Laal Singh Chaddha with Aamir Khan. Directed by Advait Chandan, the film will hit the theatres on 11th August 2022. She is also expected to appear on Karan Johar’s chat show ‘Koffee with Karan Season 7’.
