No new films for Kareena till Heroine wraps up

For the last few years, actor Kareena Kapoor’s date diary has been jam-packed with several big projects. As a result, she has been shooting for multiple films simultaneously for a while. But now, Kareena “isn’t going to shoot for anything else” while she works on Madhur Bhandarkar’s forthcoming movie, Heroine.

“It’s going to be a very aggressive and tiring film. I have to give my life to it; otherwise, there’s no point in doing it. So, I simply can’t take up anything else during that time,” says Kareena. That is why she’s working hard to wrap up Karan Johar’s upcoming production, Ek Main Aur Ekk Tu co-starring Imran Khan, by the end of the month. “Once Upon A Time In Mumbaai 2 will start only in March,” she adds.

On her role in Heroine, she claims she’s “never played a character that is so bipolar and schizophrenic”. “It’s very crazy. I don’t think any other actor has played such a character in recent times. I have to, for the first time in my career, concentrate only on one film,” says

Kareena.

To ensure a perfect outing in Heroine, the actor has set up a meeting with Madhur, designer Manish Malhotra, her hair stylist and make-up artiste on October 10.

“By the end of this month, Manish will fly to New York, Paris and Milan to shop for about 100 costumes. We are going to discuss each and every one of those. So, it’s going to be a marathon meeting for five to six hours because we are going through every look,” she says.

Besides not taking up new films, Kareena is also in no mood to make merry despite being part of the year’s biggest blockbuster so far, Bodyguard. “I haven’t had time to enjoy and celebrate my success. But that can wait because right now, Saif (boyfriend-actor Saif Ali Khan) and his family need me more. And that is what’s important for me,” says Kareena, who has the Shah Rukh Khan-starrer RA.One coming up this Diwali.

Is it true that Shah Rukh asked her to take RA.One promotions easy, since Saif recently lost his father, the

legendary cricketer Mansur Ali Khan Pataudi? “He is a friend. And he knows our loss. It’s been tough, but we are slowly getting back to work. I have always kept my films and personal life separate, and I’m sure Shah Rukh understands that. Plus, everyone knows I’m in the film and that’s more than enough,” she says.

"Saif is very brave" - Kareena

Actor Kareena Kapoor cancelled all her birthday (September 21) celebrations plans and flew to be by her beau, actor Saif Ali Khan's side when his father, cricketing legend Mansur Ali Khan Pataudi succumbed to lung infection the next day.

"It was too personal a loss for me to even talk about it," she says. "Saif is family to me and so is his family. At that point, all I wanted to do was to be with them in their times of crisis."

It's been reported that Saif broke down on the sets of his home production, Agent Vinod shortly after resuming work. Kareena refutes it saying, "Saif is a very brave person and knows how to handle himself very well. He is way too strong and private to even let anybody know what he is going through. His emotions and feelings are very sacred to him; he would never let it out in front of anyone. He is too dignified to do that."

There are reports of her marriage to Saif, which was supposedly scheduled to happen in February, being pushed further. "I don't understand these constant speculations especially when we both have always been open about our relationship," retorts Bebo. "We have never lied or hidden anything, so if there's announcement to be made, we'd do the same. Right now, we both are just completely focused on our film together."

Besides looking ahead to her releases with the other Khans ? Shah Rukh and Aamir, she's also visibly excited about sister Karisma Kapoor's comback to films. "Till date, it was just me who was busy, but now, Karisma too will be equally busy. I called her up thrice today, and each time her Man Friday picked up the phone and said, 'Madam baat nahi kar sakti, shot mein hai.' It was weird but felt great! I am extremely happy for her. At this age, she looks outstanding and has maintained herself really well. She looks better than most actresses today, and can give them a run for their money," gushes Bebo.
