Kareena celebrated Christmas this year with Saif and their children in London. The family of four is now in Gstaad, where they will ring the new year. Unlike previous years, Kareena and Saif missed her family’s annual Christmas lunch at Kunal Kapoor’s house in Mumbai, which was attended by her cousins, nieces, nephews, and aunts, including, Neetu Kapoor, Randhir Kapoor, Babita, Karisma Kapoor, her kids Samaira and Kiaan, as well as new parents Ranbir Kapoor and Alia Bhatt. Kareena, who often shares videos of her meals, spoke about their family get-togethers and love of food in a recent interview.

When asked what was more important for the Kapoor family ‘food or acting’, Kareena Kapoor told Brut India, “It is actually a really tough question to answer because the love and the passion for both the things is something that is of utmost priority to this family. Food also is a huge discussion.” Speaking further about the ‘big dish that united the family’, Kareena said, “I think it would have to be… the one big dish that we all love eating whenever we meet is paya… it is like a gravy, a curry. We kind of really, really trip on it.”

When asked about the Kapoor family gatherings, Kareena said, “Whenever we are all together, I think we all have very loud voices. I think sometimes we are not even conversing. If someone had to hear us, it would be like ‘are they fighting?’ Because it would be like those big Italian families ke sab chilla rahe hai (everyone is shouting). You can’t even understand, and have to be like ‘what, what, what?’ It is literally like that. Actually, we are having fun.

Kareena was last seen in the Aamir Khan-starrer Laal Singh Chhadha. The film, which was released in August, is an official Hindi remake of the Oscar-winning Hollywood film, Forrest Gump (1994), starring Tom Hanks. Kareena’s upcoming projects include Hansal Mehta’s next, and Sujoy Ghosh’s remake of the Japanese novel The Devotion of Suspect X. She also has a Rhea Kapoor-backed film, The Crew, with Tabu and Kriti Sanon, in the pipeline.
