From Refugee to Kambakkht Ishq, Kareena Kapoor has come a long way. One of the most successful actresses in Bollywood, Kareena has showcased her versatility with her performances. In an exclusive interview with CNN-IBN’s Entertainment Editor Rajeev Masand, Kareena dishes all out, friends, films and love life.
Rajeev Masand: What is a fantastic actress like you doing in a vulgar, offensive and sexist film like Kambakkht Ishq?
Kareena Kapoor: I do different kinds of films. I’m not going to get typecast that I only do glamorous roles or roles in art or parallel cinema. It’s not that, I’m going to do different kinds of roles. And what is amazing is, people think why should we leave our brains behind and watch a stupid film like Kambakkht Ishq? Well, my answer to that is, don’t watch the movie. It’s in the cinema if you want to buy the ticket then go watch and if you don’t, then be at home.
Watch a movie, which your brains feel tuned to or which makes you feel elevated. There were people who went to see the film and they made it a decent success. So, I think actors should not be blamed for acting in such a movie because eventually people are paying money to go watch it.
Rajeev Masand: What was the reaction the fans to you doing this film?
Kareena Kapoor: I think my loyal fans reacted positively. They thought I looked great in the film. The styling was different. But every actor does different roles and every film doesn’t have to be the ace of spades or the king of hearts. We want it to be like that but it’s not always going to be like that.
Rajeev Masand: You are one of the few actresses kids really like. Young girls want to grow up and be. Do you feel responsible then?
Kareena Kapoor: Of course I feel responsible. Like if there is a Jab We Met there is a Golmaal Returns also which people loved me in. It was also a comedy.
Rajeev Masand: But it wasn’t offensive.
Kareena Kapoor: No it wasn’t offensive but it didn’t get five stars. But in boxofficeindia.com it’s one of the five biggest openers ever including Kambakkht Ishq. So, what do I say? I don’t know what to say?
Rajeev Masand: So one does different films for different reason?
Kareena Kapoor: Yes and also giving into temptation when producers give you that kind of money. I’m also a human being, a girl with all heart; I do also give into temptation just like anyone else would give into temptation into ice creams and chocolates.
Rajeev Masand: And since you don’t give into ice-creams and chocolates…
Kareena Kapoor: Yes, then let me do this.
