She will return to our screens this weekend with the lavish release of the sequel to Golmaal, aptly titled Golmaal Returns. Kareena Kapoor has been talking to the media about her unique role in this all-fun flick. Here is one such interview.
• There’s one thing I must tell you. You look far calmer these days; quite unlike the restless Kareena we all knew a few years ago. I was a child then.
• Is it the Saif effect? Of course, it is. But my experiences in life have also made me stronger.
• Like? I mean whatever I have gone through in my personal and professional life. I am a much stronger girl now who is far more at ease with herself than I was earlier. I am doing things, which I want to. Even if I go to see a film, I don’t see it because I want to know who has done what in it. It’s just because I want to see the film.
• You have moved on in your personal life. Was it difficult parting with Shahid Kapur? Yes, it was a very difficult period. Whatever went wrong between Shahid and me is very personal. I have always maintained that Shahid will always be part of my life. But, we are better off as friends. There is no animosity.
• On hindsight, do you think you could have done something to save the relationship? I think the time was not right. Destiny took its decision. Sometimes there are no reasons for things which happen in life. Even if there is one, I don’t think it would be right to talk about it openly.
• Did it take time for your family to absorb the fact that you were in love with Saif? No, I don’t think so. At the end of the day, my parents want me to be happy. My mother is cool about it. And Karisma and Saif get along like a house on fire.
• How is Saif as a partner? He is fun and extremely loyal. He has all the qualities which I always wanted in a man.
• Is he very possessive? There were stories that he was upset with your dress at the IIFA awards and he was upset when you gave a peck on the cheek to Sylvester Stallone? Saif is very supportive. He gives me space. All those stories were false.
• You get along well with his two children, Sara and Ibrahim? Both his kids are very loving. They are like Samaira (Karisma’s daughter) to me.
• Are you in touch with Shahid? Oh yes. I message him and he messages me.
• What about marriage with Saif? Way in the future.
• Way in the future? Not in the near future? (Laughs) Yes, it’s in the future definitely, but not for the next two-three years. But, we want to be together.
• You value marriage. You helped Karisma reconcile with her husband Sanjay? Contrary to what people believe, I am a very homely girl. I am always there for those who are there for me. Frankly, I am nobody to help somebody with their marriage. No outsiders are allowed in any marriage. But as a sister, I can only offer support and advice. It has worked. Karisma is very happy and everything is going great for her.
• Did Goldie Behl invite you to the premiere of Drona? Only Priyanka Chopra invited me. Nobody else. She messaged me but I couldn’t attend the premiere as I was in Italy shooting for Kambakht Ishq.
• And then it was said that you and the Bachchans are going to patch up? Too much has been said. There is no truth in this. There is no question of any kind of a patch up.
• You lost out on Dostana and Dilli 6 because Abhishek didn’t want to work with you? Firstly, there was no fight with Abhishek. He has decided not to work with me and I have decided the same. If someone is not comfortable working with me, I am not comfortable working with him too.
• Were you offered Priyanka Chopra’s role in Fashion? Yes, it came to me through somebody else and not Madhur. Madhur and I never met for that offer. It just didn’t materialise.
• What’s happening to your film Milenge Milenge? There were stories that you are not interested in dubbing for it? That’s not true. I think even a bit of shooting is yet to be completed. And I still haven’t seen the film. So where is the question of dubbing? Frankly, I have no clue to what’s happening in Milenge Milenge.
• How is it working with Aamir Khan and Rajkumar Hirani in 3 Idiots? I hardly shot with Aamir for two days. I am an ardent fan of Aamir. I am lucky to be working with such a great combo – Aamir and Hirani.
• Does Aamir improvise a lot on the sets? Whatever he does turns into gold. Whatever he does, he does for the best of the film. I have been mesmerised by Aamir as an actor ever since I saw Qayamat Se Qayamat Tak. He is one of the finest actors in India and I think the world agrees with me.
