One should age gracefully: Kareena

At 34, Bollywood’s fit and fabulous Kareena Kapoor Khan  is clear about not attempting to look 22. She feels the key to ageing gracefully lies in letting the “lines” be, especially when it comes to men.

“I think one should age gracefully. I am proud to be 34, I think aging is wonderful. I hate it when I look at somebody and know that they have tried to cover the lines,”  Kareena said while sharing her thoughts about the prevalent nip-and-tuck trend to battle age-related troubles with a leading TV channel of India.

“I find men with lines on their faces more intelligent and sexy. Even for women, I think Maharani Gayatri Devi was very graceful. The way she aged with the grey hair — that is elegance,” added the wife of actor-producer Saif Ali Khan, who is 10 years her elder, and daughterin-law of Bollywood’s ageless beauty, Sharmila Tagore.

“I don’t want to be an 18-year-old or a 22-year-old girl. I am just done with that phase of my life. That is why I don’t even try to be 22,” says Kareena.
