Upon her appointment, Kareena highlighted the importance of protecting children’s rights, noting that they represent the future generation. She pledged to leverage her platform to advocate for vulnerable children, particularly focusing on issues like early childhood development, education, and gender equality. Kareena reiterated her belief that every child deserves a fair chance and a bright future.

On the work front, Kareena Kapoor had made headlines when it was rumoured that she was roped in to play a pivotal role in Yash’s Toxic. However, it was reported recently that Kareena Kapoor Khan, who was supposed to be Yash’s on-screen sister in Toxic, has walked out of the film due to date-related issues. “Kareena Kapoor’s dates do not align with the dates of Yash for Toxic. After making efforts to set the calendar right, the makers have amicably parted ways,” a source cited by Pinkvilla said and then added, “Toxic has a strong sibling emotion, and the part of the sister is very crucial to the narrative, warranting the presence of a top star. The makers are looking to cast actresses with Pan India presence for the part.”
