If her waistline made headlines, Kareena feels, her flop film becomes bigger news than national crisis. “Every news channel would run it as a ticker. I guess the case is that I was never an underdog. People and media like those who come from small towns and make it big. They don’t like people who are something and manage to achieve bigger things in life,” states the lady and rues that it’s “tougher for us.” “We have to keep innovating ourselves constantly but they enjoy running us down.”

Mention Saif and the superstar turns into a child woman. “He is too relaxed. He is in his own industry,” says the girlfriend who knows that “Saif will never sign a film until it interests him to the core. Not even, if it calls for sitting idle for a year.” “He only works in films he believes in.” And one of them is the upcoming Saif’s home production, directed by Sriram Raghvan, where the two will share screen space once again.

The actress who has done kissing scenes on screen before was quite comfortable with the idea of lip locking with her beau. She even was seen calmly discussing the angle and the intensity with the director.

An insider reveals, "At one point it was discussed if the scene was necessary and it looked like the couple had their doubts about the screen smooch. Rensil looked unhappy and had a word with Saif. The director convinced him to do the scene. Saif in turn made Bebo understand that it was necessary and she agreed.
