Pakistani actor Khaqan Shahnawaz has faced severe backlash after making remarks about Bollywood star Kareena Kapoor Khan’s age during a TV show appearance. The controversy began when a fan expressed interest in seeing Shahnawaz and Kareena together on screen, to which he responded jokingly, “I can play her son. Yeah, I can play her son, definitely.”
Shahnawaz further commented on the actress’s age, stating that she was significantly older than him, suggesting his role could only be that of her son. The statement did not sit well with Kareena’s fans, who took to social media to criticize the actor for what they perceived as disrespectful and condescending remarks.

One fan remarked, “Kareena wouldn’t even know who he is, even I’ve never seen a drama of his.” Another described Shahnawaz as “full of himself.” The clip from the show, widely circulated on Instagram, attracted angry reactions and fueled the online backlash.
Amid the controversy, Kareena Kapoor Khan shared cheerful glimpses of her personal life on Instagram, featuring Saif Ali Khan and their son, Taimur, in festive settings. The Bollywood star appeared unfazed by the remarks, focusing instead on her family celebrations.
