K' factor in Kareena's life

Candid, she is someone who doesn’t shy away from speaking her mind. The beautiful and ravishing Kareena Kapoor Khan spoke to us in a free-wheeling interview.  The actor who was last seen in Bajrangi Bhaijaan alongside Salman Khan is taking it slow and easy, and is happy that she’s able to straddle many roles with elan.

We ask her about her Bengaluru connection and she states, “I love Bengaluru and find the city and its people very beautiful. Saif’s brother Saad Bin Jung lives in Bengaluru and Sangeeta is my dearest bhabhi. We went to their resort last year and hopefully when the weather gets cooler, we will plan to go again to this amazing getaway.”

Kareena looks svelte in her new fitter avatar and we couldn’t help nudge her on her fitness secrets and she’s quick to reveal, “I’m actually a big foodie and love to indulge in good food. I’m the brand ambassador of Magnum and right now as we speak, I’m slurping on the new chocolate and brownies. But yes, of course, I have to also watch out and my cheat meal can be only once in two weeks. I do a mix of power yoga, hatha and ashtanga yoga. I also do pilates and walk whenever I can. Since I can’t do much outdoors, I go to the gym.

Whenever Saif and I are travelling, we workout together, but when we’re not, our schedules are very different. We don’t really get too much time together, although we would love to.”

Post her wedding, the leggy lass has become choosy about signing films and has also rejected a few films of late. She will be back on screen in April with a romcom titled Ki and Ka by R Balki, which revolves around a young, married couple whose relationship challenges the gender roles that Indian women and men play in our society.

She shares, “Arjun plays a progressive house husband who supports his wife’s ambitions, while I’m an ambitious career woman. I’m excited about Ki and Ka and Udta Punjab. Yes, I have rejected a few scripts as I didn’t like them. When I hear a script, I know what it will be like and that’s why when I read Balki’s script, I knew this is it. I don’t have any particular storyline that I’m looking for, but it has to be interesting.

Acting alongside Arjun was such fun. He is a dear friend and it was a big party for us through the shoot. I’ve known him for 20 years and the atmosphere on the sets was brilliant. I love acting and will do it all my life. I balance it with my family life easily as I love to multi task. I like to give my time for my friends and family too.” She will also be seen in another film with her ex- boyfriend Shahid Kapoor called Udta Punjab by mid-year.

Admitting how she loves to holiday, she’s hoping to visit a few exotic hotspots this year. “Saif and I have done our fair share of luxury holidays together and next on our list for this year is the Grand Canyon and Aurora Borealis Northern Lights,” Bebo signs off.
