Kareena's 'Chupke Chupke' ways.
There was a time when you watched a Kareena film all you remember at the end of it was her voice. Whether it was the flirtatious Tina from Mujhse Dosti Karoge, the bubbly Sanjana from Main Prem Ki Deewani Hoon, or the loud Geet from Jab We Met, however it seems that times are now changing. It seems the actress is in for a total image and character makeover for Rensil D'Silva's Kurbaan and also for Rajkumar Hirani's 3 Idiots.

In Kurbaan the actress explained to Mid-Day that she's gotten the chance to play one of her life's best characters in the form of a simple girl from Delhi who finds out that her husband is terrorist. And as for 3 Idiots well the same trend repeats there as she plays a silent character in the form of a quiet and nice Punjabi doctor.

Ask her how she likes this new found Kareena and the actress says that its rather refreshing since all her latest roles have been rather loud with Omkara being last quiet character however she hopes that she'll get to repeat such a role very soon in Agent Vinod with her request to Saif Ali Khan and Sriram Raghavan to let her play her spy, once again giving her a chance to be a more hands-on type of a character rather than a talkative one.

Well, she seems to be good at both types as we all know she impressed us thoroughly with characters like that from Dev and Omkara and equally impressed us in films like Jab We Met so don't stress too much Kareena as it looks like you're equally rocking at both!

I would still say that Kareena is one of the most versatile actors in Bollywood. Many top male actors have made it big doing repetitive roles and those who tried something different have failed miserably. Kareena always tried different things and even won accolades for her acting. Dev, Yuva, Refugee on one hand and KI, K3G on the other with same ease. Chameli, JWM on one hand and Yaadein, Omkara on the other. Many people try "different" roles but they fail. Kareena does her part always well.

I don't see any actor of today or past 10 years who have done such varied roles and done it with ease. Kareena is definitely the best in last 10 years. Much better than those monotonous female actors who get accolades only because they are average lookers doing same roles. A beautiful person has to go through double the scrutiny to get some praise.

Having said all that, I dislike her 'I am above all' attitude. Even Kajol has the same attitude but she stopped giving interviews now and has matured so no one cares. In any case, we always seem to like the past and diss the present. What I have sensed from her interviews is that Kareena also feels insecure about every female actor and that leaves her very little space to interact with any. She remains lonely because of that and that is why she follows and kind of hold on to people in her life be it her mom, sister and Shahid and now Saif. She becomes obsessed with them and gives her 100% or at least tried to... I am sure she has very few friends in real life.

I am sorry for going off topic. Coming back to the actual topic, I am looking forward to her 3 Idiots.

I agree Maya, Kareena doesnt have many friends that she can count on, definitely not in the industry. It might have to do with the fact that she cant be friends with competition, but also that she doesnt open up to ppl right away, and that sometimes makes her seem unapproachable.
Her closest friends are Shabina Khan, Amrita Arora, and this one lady from outside the industry...Raima..something something.
But she does have quite a group of friends though. Not close, but aquaintances.

well said Maya... and i completely agree... even with the off topic comments and on topic comments...
i think that's probably why i liked kajol so much... she was quite versatile... and after her, for sure, i have to say kareena's name... but just because she likes to blab, she becomes an easy target...
in any case... i hope she does well... let's see how these two turn out... but she does do well in such roles, that's for certain...
