Awesome kareena interview! Someone's really impressed with Aish these days, lol!
Hehe hehe, Kareena Kapoor Khan sounds ok...I prefer Kareena Ali Khan 😳
But pretty bold statement she makes down there, saying marriage is just a piece of paper for saif and me.
Bebo makes it to the top

It's quite an honour to zoom to the Top 10 of the Filmfare power list and to be the only woman there?
It's flattering. And it's scary.Lots of responsibilities. My power comes from my honesty to myself and to my work. It's amazing that I'm in the power list, although I've never given much thought to the process of getting there. I'm all heart, as you well know. Being true to myself is very important.
Earlier, Aishwarya Rai Bachchan was in the Top 10 list...
Yes, I know. Everyone has a chance to be in a certain position. I think Aishwarya has had a great innings. It's a great honour to be where she is in the power list. Power equations in the entertainment industry change minute by minute. I'm definitely going to try my best to hold that position. It makes me feel very responsible. I want to keep doing the kind of work that will keep me in that list. Last year, I was in a successful film, Golmaal Returns, where I didn't have a pivotal role. Strangely, audiences expect me to take centrestage all the time.
Do your prefer the saree to western attire?
I most definitely do. And now that I've put on a little bit of weight because of Rensil D'Silva and Raju Hirani's films, the saree looks much nicer on me. As Indian movie stars, we should be proud of our national attire instead of being seen in western outfits even at Indian events. A woman looks far more sensuous in a saree than a gown.
So you prefer a saree to a gown?
Absolutely. If I have to wear a gown, it'd only be for an international awards function. I'd love to wear a saree even to international events. A saree expresses an Indian woman's personality so beautifully. I think my new power statement is the saree. From now on, I want the saree to be synonymous with Kareena Kapoor. It will take a lot to put me in a gown.
Aishwarya Rai Bachchan has done a lot for the saree?
Why only the saree? She's done a lot for India. And yes, she wears the saree as much as possible. She does complete justice to it.
How much of this power comes in a package with Saif Ali Khan?
We can't deny that he's also one of the hottest actors in the industry. I think we are a blend of looks and spirit. Saif and I are very alike. He also follows his heart and is very honest. Whether it's his professional or personal life, he comes clean.
You'll continue to be known as Kareena Kapoor after marriage?
I haven't thought about it. Kareena Kapoor Khan sounds good. I leave the decision to Saif.
When you had a bit of a wardrobe malfunction at the Filmfare awards, some TV channels called it an attention-seeking gimmick...
Do I look like the kind of person who needs extra attention? Saif and I laughed over the incident. He says the journalists are only doing their job. I really can't be bothered by people who're trying to spoil my happiness. I'm having the time of my life with the best roles, best family and best boyfriend in the world.
You've finally moved into your new house?
Yes, but I spend most of my time in the studio. So I've no time to enjoy my new home. I'm living out of my makeup van. By the time I get home, I can't keep my eyes open. I've had no time for myself, what with my best friend Amu (Amrita Arora) getting married and all. I have no breathing space.
Did Amrita's marriage make you wistful for your own?
I'm with Saif constantly. For us, marriage is just a piece of paper.
We'll have to make you marry him!
Kyun zabardasti shaadi karne ko bolte ho? Abhi itna achcha kaam ho raha hai. Aise bhi main toh Saifoo ke saath hoon.
Your dad Randhir Kapoor is making a comeback...
I know! I'm so excited. Vipul (Shah) thought only of him for the role (of a scientist in the upcoming time travel film Action Replay). As long as my dad enjoys himself shooting, I'm happy.
