Kareena Kapoor talks about her on-screen pairing with beau Shahid, patching-up with Karan Johar and much more...

Kareena is back to being her ol' glam self

There's a time and place for everything. First I had a glam image and everyone kept harping on that. Then with films like Kyon Ki.. the deglam bit was over done. Now I'm glad to be back with my glam image after a long time, so I guess people are over-reacting. I'm enjoying the change myself.

What do you think of the praise you are receiving for your recent chartbuster?
l When I was shooting this song I didn't know it would become such a roaring hit. Believe it or not, I get at least one message a day raving about the number. The response has been tremendous.

Expectations are very high of the Kareena-Shahid on-screen pairing...
l I know this always happens to off-screen pairs. There's a lot more to look for in that film besides, our on-screen chemistry.

Your chemistry with Akshaye Khanna is unfailing Is he lucky for you?)
l I love Akshaye Khanna as an actor; he's a lovely human being. I've known him since I was six years old, but it was only after we worked together we realised how well we hit it off.

Your patch-up with Karan Johar is official now...
l Yes, now I am doing a film with him. I can't talk about it yet, as nothing is confirmed, but what is important is that Karan and I are friends. Karan is like a brother to me, I'm there for him always. I don't want anything to come between Karan and me. I am extremely cautious about our friendship now.

You won Zoom's Most Glamourous Filmstar Award. It feels
l Great! I don't make a conscious effort to look glamourous. Every woman loves to look glamourous in her own way. You are young only once, so I like to look good and feel good about it.

A dream role would be
l I don't have any dream role, but it'll be a dream-come-true to work with Karisma, and share the same frame with her. I'm sure it will happen one day.
