Kareena Kapoor Khan lauds Robert Downey Jr’s speech

Today at the prestigious 96th Academy Awards, Robert Downey Jr won his first ever Oscars for his performance in Oppenheimer. Kareena Kapoor Khan shared a video of the actor’s acceptance speech. In the video, we can hear that while accepting the award, the Avengers actor joked and thanked his ‘terrible childhood’. Turning towards his wife Susan, the actor compared her to a veterinarian and said, “She found me as a snarling rescue pet and loved me back to life. That’s why I’m here, thank you.”

Robert further added, “Here’s my little secret, I needed this job more than it needed me. Chris (Nolan) knew it, Emma made sure she surrounded me with one of the great casts and crews of all time –Emily, Cillian, Matt Damon, Blunt—and I stand here before you a better man because of it,” he said. Sharing this video on her Instagram stories, the Jab We Met actress wrote ‘genius’ with a couple of starstruck emojis, a couple of clapping emojis, and a rolling on-the-floor emoji.
