Some
are calling this the lowest point in Kareena Kapoor's film career, but the
35-year-old Bollywood actress disagrees.
"I
have become choosy, I don't want to do films back-to-back. I am not insecure,
I'd rather go off on a holiday with Saif," she says in a Mumbai Mirror interview.
Kareena
will next be seen in Ki
and Ka, an R. Balki film that toys with the idea of gender role
reversal in the home. She plays the working wife, while Arjun Kapoor is her
'house-husband'.
"We
were like two kids on the sets and Balki would scold us, tell us to stop
talking and laughing so he could shoot," she reminisces.
She
insists she's picky about her projects for that very reason: "I am not a
part of any particular camp, I just want to chill and be comfortable while I
shoot. I even said yes to Abhishek Chaubey's Udta
Punjab for the same
reason. The film excites me as an actor," she says.
Kareena
is no rush to diversify her career either: "I can't sing and don't wish to
direct or produce, but I'd definitely want to write my autobiography."
The Kapoor life
It's
likely to be a good read. Kareena discloses that her hubby Saif Ali Khan calls
the Kapoor khandaan "a crazy Italian mafia family."
"There
are always 30 dishes on the table and everybody is focused on the food and
drinks," Kareena shares. "My family is the best thing in my life and
no matter which part of the world I am, I will always make it to birthdays and
anniversaries. I feel most grounded and connected, when my grandmother (Krishna
Raj Kapoor) is around."
But
expect no fanciful details about the royal Pataudi life, not many anyway:
"I'm
not a Begum. My mother-in-law (Sharmila Tagore) will always be the eternal
Begum of Pataudi. She is an amazing mother, wife and actor, gorgeous, worldly
wise and energetic. We share a close bond. I love going to the Pataudi palace,
it's now home for me."
And
she won't dish out on any juicy industry gossip, and there's absolutely zero
chance of the Ranbir-Katrina breakup making its way in that book:
"We
don't only socialise with industry folk, in fact, we don't even attend
Bollywood parties or film screenings. Even if Ranbir has spoken about it to me,
it's a personal matter that I'd never discuss it with the media. I love my
brother and wish him only the best in life, always," she says.
