Entertaining to the core, there’s never a dull moment when Kareena Kapoor Khan is around. She recently shot for the Cricket Final Party Toh Banti Hai segment, where she had gone to promote her upcoming film Veere Di Wedding. Naturally, the beauty was asked which cricketer she finds fittest. Without needing a second to ponder, she shot back, “I like Virat as he’s really fit and I find him hot.”
No need for either Anushka Sharma or Saif Ali Khan to worry here, as Bebo promptly added, “But Virat is already taken and I love my Nawab more! I like Kane Williamson, too. He’s also hot.” She also pointed out that she liked the game of cricket more the way it was played in the older days when it was considered a gentleman’s sport. This is clearly the after-effects of being the daughter-in-law of the legendary Mansoor Ali Khan Pataudi, who had captained India to great heights. Apparently, Kareena is not a fan of the way cricket is played today, where it is more battle than a game.

Kareena returns to the big screen this June after a sabbatical post the birth of her son Taimur. It was recently revealed that Rhea Kapoor, Veere Di Wedding producer planned something which is unheard of - she had revised the script to incorporate Kareena's pregnancy onscreen. Kareena has shared that Rhea wanted her in the film and for that she and director Shashanka Ghosh "planned to show Kareena's character six months pregnant." However, the team scrapped the idea because there's no "maternity insurance" for actresses in India.
She maintained, “There was no safeguard against suffering a mishap. So we scrapped the idea of shooting during pregnancy. India has a long way to go in accounting for every facet of a woman's life and challenges on the professional front.” She added, “Rhea wanted me on board, even if it meant delaying the film by another year. No one ever put any pressure on me. I knew I would take time to resume because I had to be with Taimur. I returned to the set in Delhi over six months after delivery.”
There’s no one quite like Bebo, is there!
