Kareena Kapoor Khan is back with a new season of What Women Want, and the first trailer gives a glimpse of the conversations lined up this time around. The season brings together an interesting mix of guests, including Mickey Contractor, Pankaj Tripathi, Ali Fazal, Neetu Kapoor, Bhavna Pandey, Maheep Kapoor and more. But two names in particular stand out in the trailer: Mira Rajput and Kriti Sanon .
Shahid Kapoor’s wife, has her first formal interaction on camera with Kareena, Kriti finds herself revisiting a controversy she probably never expected to become a national talking point While Mira Rajput. The actor speaks about the backlash over her GIVA Raksha Bandhan advertisement and recalls how her outfit ended up being discussed on prime-time television. The trailer shows Kareena telling Mira, “I think everyone is excited about this. Mira later reshared Kareena’s post and thanked her for having her on the show. She also shared a few pictures from the day on her own Instagram feed. Kriti Sanon, meanwhile, revisits a controversy that quickly became much bigger than the advertisement itself. GIVA’s Raksha Bandhan campaign showed Kriti in an Indo-Western outfit as she celebrated the festival by tying a Rakhi to her brother and her pet dog. The ad soon drew criticism online, with some users taking issue with Kriti’s outfit and questioning whether it was appropriate for a festival they viewed as deeply traditional. She did not directly name the GIVA advertisement in that post, but it came at a time when the discussion around her outfit was still ongoing. The first trailer suggests that Kareena’s new season will move between celebrity life, relationships, personal experiences and conversations around issues women continue to face. Meanwhile, on the acting front, Kareena was recently seen headlining investigative drama Daayra. The film stars Kareena and Prithviraj Sukumaran as cops who face off while navigating the dark and complex world of juvenile crime.
The actor later reshared another post that read, “Guys, it’s not Men vs Women,” which addressed patriarchal and misogynistic attitudes.
The actor had earlier shared a picture with Mira from the sets of What Women Want. Sharing the photo on Instagram, she wrote, “The absolutely warm and lovely Mira on the show today.
