While Kareena Kapoor is super excited about Kurbaan (this being her first movie with Saif post their relationship), she is equally excited about the remake of Stepmom, where she has Kajol for company. When we quizzed Bebo, she said, “I look up to Kajol, as she is one of the finest actresses we have today. I totally love her and we get along like a house on fire. Karan is a dear friend of both of us, and we all belong to the same click, so there’s only great vibes and friendship on the sets.” Explains gorgeous actress.
Kareena met Saif for the first time when she was just 14 years old two are now one of the most talked about couples in tinsel town, but say marriage is not on the cards. "We do discuss marriage but this is not the right time because Saif is busy in his production house and I am getting very good roles. So marriage can wait," say’s Kareena.
Bebo has a legacy of cinema behind her, takes interest in different aspects of filmmaking and might one day go behind the camera like her grandfather and father. But right now Kareena says she is happy being an actress.When asked would she go behind the camera like her legendary granddad Raj Kapoor and father Randhir Kapoor, she said: "As of now I am getting good roles, so not now. But yeah, I don't rule that out... one day I might direct."
Kareena also revealed her fitness mantra "I was never a size zero," said the Kurbaan actress. "That was a term coined by people...." Pointing out that she was still a strict vegetarian, Kareena said she reduced her food intake gradually, but did not stop having her various meals each day. She also said that the secret of her slim figure is yoga, and not a gym workout. "I can do 100 suryanamaskars in a day. When I started out, I could do just eight or nine."
How much of this power comes in a package with beau Saif Ali Khan? “We can't deny he's also one of the hottest actors in the industry. I think we are blend of looks and spirit. Saif and I are very alike. He also follows his heart and is very honest in what he does. Whether it's his professional or personal life, he comes clean. My power comes from my honesty to myself and to my work. I've always done things that come naturally from my heart. I'm all heart, as you well know. At the end of the day, being true to myself is very important.”
Kareena is the face of many leading brands "Endorsing a brand is not only fun but it does add to the bank balance. Apart from that endorsing a good brand helps you in connecting with your fans. Given this, I have to be very choosy about my endorsements because they also help a lot in branding," she added.
Bebo openly declares that she is no more in touch with Shahid but added that in the past she had shared a wonderful relationship. She also said that though they drifted apart but they could wish each other well. She always makes sure that she asks him about his well-being. Commenting on Shahid Priyanka link up Bebo say’s "Frankly, it doesn't matter to me if Priyanka and Shahid are going around! I just want to concentrate on doing my job and taking off someplace whenever I get the chance to unwind! I am above it all."
Kareena wants to forget the debacle of Main Aurr Mrs Khanna she believes Kurbaan is her ticket out where she is cast opposite boyfriend Saif Ali Khan. According to her, the audience will take to her character in the film in a "big way". Kareena say’s that the film provides a balanced dose of love, intensity and emotions. “Kurbaan’ is a very different kind of film, it is more like an English movie. I can say that the film contains lot of intensity and emotions, it has gritty,” said Kareena
Kareena is shedding her glam image for the Hindi version of Stepmom after doing glamorous roles “The last time I rehearsed for a part was for Vishal Bharadwaj’s Omkara. But that was an unconventional film and I had to get into a milieu and character of which I knew nothing about. But Stepmom is urban and very contemporary. I play a very normal metro-centric working girl,” she says.
Kareena, who plays Julia’s role, is discovering how difficult it is to play a normal girl. “I walk, talk, dress like an ordinary working girl. I’ll be using no make-up. I couldn’t cut my hair as planned but I’m going for a new hairstyle,” said Kareena.
If rumours are to believed Kareena will be new ‘desi girl’ in Dostana’s sequel first it was heard that Katrina Kaif will be the sequel’s heroine, and now the goss mills say Bebo could be the chosen one. Kareena is indeed the hot favourite of Karan Johar. Priyanka say’s that no one can be a ‘desi girl’ like her. May be Kareena would like to prove her wrong!
