Kareena Kapoor Khan fans are failing to keep calm as she is ready to be seen onscreen once again in her soon to release movie, Veerey Di Wedding. It will be her first movie after giving birth to little Taimur and will mark her post-pregnancy re-entry into films.
Kareena, who has had a career spanning of 18 years in the industry is still as vivacious as ever and is fit to give competition to the young lot of actresses in Bollywood. Kareena credits this to her confidence. She says, “I think I have always carved a place for myself. Times change, generations change, people come and go. But I think it’s maybe because of my confidence. It’s in the way one carries themselves. That’s very important.”
On being considered a contemporary by the younger lot she says, “I take it as a compliment but I think I have always been pretty much in my own space. Right from Refugee till Veere Di Wedding”.
Talking about Veerey Di Wedding she says that it’s very different than the movies that she’s done in the past. She adds, “It’s a different kind of movie. It’s a story of four friends. It’s not the typical boy-meets-girl romance which I think I’ve done so much of. So I thought this should be different.
It’s a small film, made by women. The producers are women-Rhea (Kapoor) and Ekta (Kapoor). I think it’s a special film and people will appreciate it,” says the actress.
She believes that the women in the industry are truly empowered. She says, “I think I have always worked with some amazing females directors. I have worked with Reema Kagti, she’s a woman and she made a beautiful film, Talaash.”
“There’s Zoya Akhtar, there’s Rhea as a producer. There are many doors open now especially in Indian film fraternity,” adds Kareena.
Kareena is rumoured to be seen alongside Farhan Akhtar in Bombay Samurai.
