Kareena Kapoor Khan expressed joy at the overwhelming response to her recent film, Crew. The film has amassed over $17 million at the box office.

‘I’m happy that Crew has broken barriers’: Kareena Kapoor Khan on Crew’s box office success
During an interview, Kareena told PTI, “It’s not about whether it’s a hero or a heroine taking on a film. It’s a person and (their) performance that takes the film and content (forward). We are going to keep trying to do that. I will always choose roles that are interesting but in the form of entertainment. I’m happy ‘Crew’ has broken barriers. It started the conversation that women also can break box office rules.”
In addition to her cinematic achievements, Kareena has been appointed as UNICEF India’s new National Ambassador. Since 2014, she has collaborated with the organization as a Celebrity Advocate, a role that has profoundly influenced her personal and professional life.
She remarked on her expanded role with UNICEF, “We have travelled to different places across India, where I have interacted with children, teachers, and parents. They have spoken about their story, aspirations and dreams. Through UNICEF, I have grown from the person I was 10 years ago to what I am today as a National Ambassador… It’s been a very fulfilling journey for me. I’ve had such amazing memories.”
Kareena’s new role as National Ambassador is a testament to her commitment to advocacy and impact on public awareness and social issues. As she celebrates the success of “Crew” and embarks on her journey with UNICEF, Kareena continues to inspire many with her dedication to her craft and charitable endeavors.
