Mumbai: She is a star who has grown strength-
to-strength as an actor and Kareena Kapoor says she has always
been comfortable in her own zone.
The actor will soon be seen in "Veere Di Wedding", which
marks her first film after the birth of son, Taimur.
Kareena, who is regarded more as a contemporary than a
senior by Alia Bhatt and Sonam Kapoor, credits her confidence
in her 18-year-long career to have helped her gain the respect
of these actors.
"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.
"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'," the actor told PTI in an interview.
Kareena also returned to the ramp at the recently
concluded Lakme Fashion Week Summer/Resort 2018 when she
appeared as the showstopper for grand finale designer Anamika
Khanna's collection "Nudes Reinvented".
The star said "Veere..." was not the quintessential
Bollywood romance with which her filmography is full of and
that is why she took up the project.
"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."
Women across the world are raising their voices seeking
equal opportunities. Asked if time is here when the
representation of women in working spaces would increase,
Kareena said female artistes have been doing phenomenal work
for ages and now they are unstoppable.
"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,"
she said.
