Kareena Kapoor is at a very important stage in her career. She's got the best of films, she's been dishing out worthy performances and of course, she remains among the top-most actors in the industry.
With things going right in more ways than one, Kareena has finally decided to take a brief sabbatical from work. She's celebrating her birthday on Thursday in Goa with a bunch of close friends. "It will be an extremely private affair. I have 10 friends with me, and I hope to have the greatest birthday," says Kapoor. "
"The Smita Patil Memorial Award, 'Lajjo' with Aamir Khan, the acclaim of 'Omkara' and 'Yeh Mera Dil' song from 'Don'… I have so many reasons to celebrate," she explains, adding, "The celebration has been pending for a while. I couldn't wait any longer."
What's really made the award memorable for Kareena is that the late Smita Patil has always been her favourite actor. "I have always admired her and I truly believe she was one of the finest talents. I have always dreamt of acting like her. I know I still can't. I was at loss of words when I received the award," says Kareena adding she'd love to play Smita Patil's part if there's a remake of 'Arth'.
Incidentally, Karisma Kapur was also bestowed with the same award some years ago. "Karisma is one of India's finest actors. I have always learnt from her. I am just following her path," signs off the li'l sis.
