I know what happens when there's infidelity
Let's start with the talk of the town, Heroine. Finally, you signed it?
Yeah. But it's too early to talk much about it.I'm glad we finally met midway (in terms of money) and now taking things forward. Madhur is a bold and explicit director. The film will have a lot of glamour, grit and sensationalism for sure.
In Heroine, you'll be doing an author-backed role after a long time. Nervous?
Not at all. I am an actress and I love doing different, challenging roles. If you agree, I have always experimented with my looks and characters.
You've been doing films with big heroes like in Bodyguard. Is it because of the money? Or is it because working with the big boys catapult you into the bigger league?
Bodyguard is a film with a soul. It's a love story with lots of emotions and drama. If you take the girl out of it, there is no film. I won't do a film where I might get lost. I am not gung-ho about song and dance. When Salman saw the South version of Bodyguard, he told the producer (Agnihotri) that only Kareena could fit the heroine's role. After the success of Dabangg and Ready, Salman is poised for a hat trick. I think I have answered your question (smiles).
Rumour had it that you have split with Saif?
Rubbish. We are together.
Do you want to marry him?
Of course, I do. Doesn't every woman want to take her relationship to the next level? Saif and I are definitely going to marry. We just don't want to talk about it right now. It'll take away the focus from the good work we are doing currently.
Buzz is that the wedding will happen right after Agent Vinod releases ...
(Smiles) Speculations galore. The menu, venue… woh sab hum batayenge na. Aisi bhi kya jaldi hai?
Have you had your share of ups and downs in your relationship with Saif?
(Shrugs) Ups and downs are a normal thing in every relationship.
God forbid...but what if you catch Saif cheating on you tomorrow?
That tomorrow will never come. I am a lucky girl. There is love, so there can never be any infidelity. I am not being cynical about this because I know it happens. I have experienced it and I know what it can do.
So, how do you guys stay away from temptation… thrown into outdoor locations for long periods with goodlooking people around you?
Because we have a mental connect, which we both wanted in our lives from before we met each other. Our love is beyond just physicality. We give the much-required space to each other. Saif doesn't stop me from doing anything - be it doing an intimate scene or getting into an ultra-glam outfit. And it's the same with me. He is a man who does his job, comes home and I give him a happy world.
Are your parents keen on you formalising the relationship with Saif?
Of course. Especially my mother (Babita). My dad (Randhir) never asks me anything. He just wants me to be happy and safe.
You want to have kids (of course we meant with Saif )?
Yes. Like every woman, I too want kids. But there is a lot of childishness in me still. Saif treats me like a child. I still have to get into that phase where I want to be a mother.
If you get married soon, will the kids have to wait?
Yeah (smiles). Children should be by choice, not by chance.
Madame Tussauds?
It's an absolute honour. The unveiling shall happen in October. My statue is going to travel for an exhibition to six different cities. I wish my sister Karisma is there with me. She has always stood by me.
Getting over the rough patch with her husband Sanjay Kapur must've been tough for Karisma ...
Karisma has been a fighter. She is a very strong girl. All that matters now is that she has emerged a winner. And isn't she looking her best? She is looking so radiant. She is simply glowing. I am very excited that she is making a comeback to the silver screen. I should be taking her kids on the sets.
You have been a pillar of strength to her during the dark phase ...
Yes. We both have always been there for each other. She is my best friend. We share unconditional love.
