Kareena Kapoor Khan, on Sunday, attended the Indian Chamber of Commerce-Young Leaders Forum event in Kolkata. During the event, Kareena was questioned about the Boycott Bollywood trend and the ongoing cancel culture.

To which Kareena replied, “I don’t agree with it at all.” She added, “If that happens, how will we entertain, how will you have the joy and happiness in your life, which, I think everybody needs. Agar films nahi hogi toh entertainment kaisa hoga (What about entertainment if there are no films)?”

Kareena was asked the question at a time when calls to boycott Shah Rukh Khan’s much-awaited release ‘Pathaan’ are being made. The film got embroiled into controversy after its song “Besharam Rang” featured Deepika Padukone in an allegedly saffron-coloured bikini, which created a huge stir. Not to miss, Kareena and Aamir Khan’s last release ‘Laal Singh Chaddha’ too faced boycott calls from several corners. 

Coming to Kareena’s lineup of work, she will be seen in Hansal Mehta's untitled film. Not just that, she also has Sujoy Ghosh's 'The Devotion Of Suspect X' in the lineup. 

Meanwhile, the actress recently also shared an action-filled post hinting at her new project, hinting at something new which she will announce on January 27. She captioned it as, "It's not such a big secret, all you have to do is ask nicely. Landing on 27.01.2023 - Stay Tuned. Any guesses."

Kareena will also be seen in Rhea Kapoor’s ‘The Crew', which also stars Tabu and Kriti Sanon.
