Kareena Kapoor Khan: On the Kapoors, the Khans and More
August 7, 2014
Mumbai " In terms of the way things are fast changing, Kareena Kapoor Khan is almost a veteran now, with screen experience of 15 years. What is, however, creditable is that she still is an A-list heroine when others junior to her have faded away or have lost their glow.
Excerpts from an interview:
Q: Still, what will you get to do in a film like Kabir Khan's "Bajrangi Bhaijan," which has Salman Khan?
A: Let me tell you that this film is a truly different story, and it is a privilege working with a director like Kabir Khan, who wants to work with me after three back-to-back films with Katrina Kaif! It is a human story and not at all a typical Salman Khan film even for him. So there is a good role for me.

There is something about Kareena Kapoor Khan. It's been a while since her last big hit but the 33-year-old stunner doesn't seem to be bothered by that. Nor is she losing sleep over Singham Returns being her only release in 2014. "I am not in competition with anyone. I am here to do the kind of work I want to do and at the pace I want to work at. I have worked for 15 years like a dog... I don't want to anymore," she says with a shrug.
After Singham Returns hits theatres on August 15, the actress is going to take a two-month break before returning to film her next " Kabir Khan's Bajrangi Bhaijaan with Salman Khan. "I hope Kick does (Rs) 300 crore... my film with him is coming next Id and I hope it'll do (Rs) 600 crore!" she laughs.
Do Saif and you discuss your careers?
Hmmm...we try not to. It's definitely not our only topic of conversation. If I am upset or confused about a film, he is always there to give me advice. And Saif gives some good advice. He has always told me Never be affected by other people's choices'. He always says that I should make it clear to the industry and my fans that my priorities have changed.
You want to work but are not competing with anyone...which is why my choices are different from what they would have been a few years ago. But yes, if I get a great role, I am going to do it. I have been reading scripts. Every time, midway through I think I am going to do the film, but by the time I finish I have changed my mind. I don't know if this is a phase... I am not liking anything I am reading. Maybe I'll get over it.
The only script I have liked in recent times was Kabir's (Khan). I got to know him on the sets (of Saif's film) Phantom and we started talking about what would be his next film " a Muslim guy and a Hindu Brahmin girl. A little while later, he narrated the detailed script to me and by the interval, I had decided that I will do the film. Kabir's film fit into my schedule. I am not going to work in September and most of October I am not working because I am travelling. And Kabir only wants to start at the end of October.
