Kareena Kapoor
Kareena Kapoor Khan, an undisputed diva and versatile actor, is equally celebrated for her enduring fitness. While her rigorous workout routine, including yoga, strength training, Pilates, and cardio, is well-known, her diet plays a pivotal role in maintaining her physique. Despite being a self-proclaimed foodie from a Punjabi family, her daily diet has remained remarkably consistent since 2007.
Kareena`s daily food intake is surprisingly relatable and far from the quinoa and air rumours she jokingly addressed. Her routine typically involves:
Diwekar emphasised, "She mostly eats khichdi with ghee for 4-5 days for dinner." Kareena herself calls khichdi her "comfort food" and admits she "can’t sleep at night if she knows that the dish is not in her diet." Interestingly, even during her infamous size zero phase, Kareena "needed aloo paratha with white makkhan every 2-3 days."

Discipline Beyond the Plate
Kareena`s disciplined approach extends beyond her diet. At the launch of Diwekar’s book Mitahara: Food Wisdom From My Indian Kitchen, Kareena affirmed, “Dinner by 6 pm, lights out by 9:30 pm, morning workouts before the world wakes up.” She also revealed her preference for low-key evenings, often winding down by watching Schitt`s Creek. This consistent lifestyle, rather than fad diets, is clearly the secret to her sustained fitness.On the film front, Kareena had two major releases in 2024, Crew and Singham Again, and will next be seen in Meghna Gulzar’s crime drama Daayra.
