While the actress readily doles out beauty tips for anyone who's willing to listen, she also makes it clear that the secret behind her complexion lies in the Kapoor khandaan (family) genes.


"Because of the taxing conditions we work in -- climates like could be snowfall or sunshine -- its a lot of water I recommend. I use as less makeup as possible in most of my films. So I think it just helps me most apart from the fact that my parents have glowing skin. I think it's in my DNA more than anything else. God has been kind to me," said Kareena.


And with International Women's Day here, Kareena didn't leave without giving her fans a message about woman power.


"Happy Women's Day to all the women out there. We should be very proud to be women because women are the only species that have the power to give birth to others," she said.
