Bajrangi Bhaijaan is easily one of the biggest releases of the year. 9xe.com caught up with the film's lead pair, Salman Khan and Kareena Kapoor, for a quick chat. Excerpts:
Salman, people are saying Bajrangi Bhaijaan is your best film till date. What do you have to say to that?
When the script came to me, everything just fit perfectly. Nothing in the story was forced. There is not a single scene or song or item song that is not relevant. Everything takes the script forward.
Kareena, this was the first time you shot in Kashmir. How was the experience?
My whole family has shot movies there. I was the only one who hadn't. It was fabulous shooting there, the people are so warm and they looked after us so well.
Also, you recently confessed that you had a massive crush on Salman...
Salman: (Cuts in) Yeah, she still does.
Kareena: (Laughs) Who doesn't have a crush on Salman Khan? I haven't met anyone in this day and age who has told me, "No, I don't have a crush on him".
Salman: Yeah, that's a fact (Laughs)
What about you, Salman? Did you ever have a crush on Bebo?
Well, I always get there and then... (Laughs)
The Selfie song has become a rage. How did you guys come up with that idea?
Salman: It all happened because of Kareena.
Kareena: Actually, when we started shooting for the film, I posted a selfie of Salman and myself from the set. That picture broke the internet, it became a big thing. And that's how we got the idea for the song.
Lastly, tell us about the child artist Harshaali Malhotra.
Salman: She is very talented. I still remember the first time I met her. She came to me and said, "Mujhe bhi aapke jaise star banna hai - superstar." And I knew that she was special.
