Kareena on Instagram debut: I am joining social media for my fans

Kareena Kapoor Khan

Even as her contemporaries raked up followers by the millions on their social media handles, Kareena Kapoor Khan maintained a studied distance from the digital world. But, now, her fans have a reason to cheer - the actor is set to make her social media debut with Instagram today. Why did Kapoor have a change of heart, you wonder? "I have always believed in 'Never say never'. The world of Instagram was daunting for me because I didn't want to get addicted to 'likes' on pictures or sharing details of my life. But I realised I have to move with the times," says the actor.

Interestingly, instead of creating a new account, Kapoor has decided to personalise @kareenakapoorkhan that was previously handled by her managers and has over 72,000 followers. "I am joining social media for my fans, who have supported me for 20 years. I want [to share details] of my life with my fans," says the actor.

Well, we're keeping our eyes peeled for her first post - will it be a picture with her son and the Internet's unofficial favourite star Taimur or an on-point selfie with friend Karan Johar? Your guess is as good as ours.
