I’m a secure actor and can take a break, says Kareena

Making it count

Today, it’s not about how many films you have on hand or how many shifts you’re doing per day or which banner you are working for. I’d prefer a small banner and a significant role over a big banner and an insignificant role.

That’s why I’m being picky about my roles. I don’t want to repeat myself. People will always remember me for ‘Don’ and ‘Omkara’ because they’ve shown my versatility as an actor.

Family matters

I’ve been listening to a good number of scripts. I’ve been busy with endorsements and shows. I’m spending time with my family. It’s nice to just lie back and think. I’m a secure actor and can take a break.

Globe trotter

I love travelling because it allows me to observe people. I love experiencing different weathers, learning things from people from varied cultures. It always helps you as a person and an as actor to understand, reflect and grow. Travelling is a passion Shahid and I share. It’s on our agenda all the time.

Mellowed and me?

Wrong! Kareena was never brash and reckless. I think that’s the way the media chose to portray me as. I didn’t bother to change the image. I don’t need to justify it either. I think I’ve not changed.

My family and close friends don’t think like that. There’s been a calming influence, probably because I’ve matured. I think I’m growing both as a person and an actor.

Thanks, Shahid

I think some credit for this definitely goes to Shahid. An actor one needs to be secure personally and professionally. My work has made me secure and Shahid understands me well, so I’m secure personally too.

Happy horizons

I love spending time with my niece Samaira, and that takes up most of my time as I’m not shooting right now.

I also do a lot of artistic yoga. It helps me concentrate and maintain my weight. I won’t talk about my personal goals because they are too personal. Professionally, I want to be around for 10 years. Then, I don’t know where life takes me.
