Pinkvilla Exclusive: Bhansali and I had differences of opinion over the contractual issues - Kareena Kapoor
At the first look launch of Madhur Bhandarkar’s most awaited next, Heroine, the lead actress Kareena Kapoor, looking resplendent in a red jumpsuit confessed that it was her childhood dream to become a Bollywood heroine. In a candid chat exclusively to pinkvilla.com, the most sought after heroine talks to Mauli Singh about her most bold role till date, fallout with Bhansali and her wedding plans with the beau, Saif Ali Khan. How true is the portrayal of a Bollywood heroine in the film? I play Mahie Arora in the film. It’s a completely fictitious character but the under layer of the film which is about the film industry is pretty much true. Her life situations and problems are pretty real. I am over emotional for sure and sometimes impulsive too. I don’t think there is any similarity between my journey as an actress and Mahie. People are comparing Heroine with Vidya Balan’s Dirty Picture. Does that bother you? These comparisons are so baseless. Just because both the films are based on the life of an actress, doesn’t mean they are similar. Both the films are very different. Dirty Picture was a biopic of an item girl and it was set in the eighties. Our film is a fictional account of a rise and fall of a Bollywood actress and it is set in the present times. There were rumours that you backed out of the film initially because you had reservations doing such a bold role. Is that true? Not at all. I have done Chameli. I had dates issue when Madhur approached me to do the film initially but fortunately things were sorted out later. I think I was destined to do this film. And Sanjay Leela Bhasali’s Ram Leela wasn’t… Well you can say so. Any regrets about losing Ram Leela? If I did have then I won’t leave the film. I am in a position to choose which film I would like to be a part of. And I am very happy to be in such a position. What went wrong with Bhansali? Unfortunately,we had some differences of opinion over the contractual issues. So we decided to part ways. But I have a huge regard for Bhansali as a filmmaker and I would always want to work with him. So there is a possibility of you guys working together in future? Why not. Let’s hope so. Coming back to Heroine, its one of your boldest roles… Was it very challenging? Yes but exciting too. As an actor you crave to do different roles. People have seen me as a next door girl in Jab We Met and Refugee. But this is my boldest and the most aggressive role. There is no skin show. The dialogues are hard hitting. You have some elaborate intimate scenes with Arjun Rampal. Was Saif okay with them? Of course.Why wouldn’t he be? We are both actors and understand that it’s just a job. We both have done intimate scenes with other actors and never made an issue about it. We both are pretty secure people. Has Saif seen the film? No, he has only seen the trailer but he loved it. He is looking forward to the film. Everyone is waiting for both of you to announce the D Day. You will hear the announcement soon. Saif has the sole right to answer this question. The poster of the film is said to be a copy of a Mariah Carey’s promotional photos for her music album, The Emancipation of Mimi. Comment. Our industry is notorious for copying the entire films. This is just a poster. I don’t know why people making a big deal out of it. Madhur is known for his originality. It may be an inspiration but certainly not a copy. Do you think the heroines today are at par with the heroes? Not really. Obviously it’s a male dominated industry. The budget of the female oreinted film is much less than a hero’s film. Everything is kept in place so that we make our money on it. We don’t get as big a budget as a hero. Would you like that to change? I don’t think we should try and change it. We should try and make movies which are in budget. Bollywood will be nothing without Khans. Do you think heroines today are in a much better position than heroines of earlier times? I guess so. Times have changed, situations have changed. Things are very different. Girls today are smarter and way more sorted. They are also good with managing their finances. A lot of actresses give up acting once their career as a heroine is over and start business ventures. What is your plan? I want to keep acting till the time I die. It’s my passion. I can’t imagine doing anything else. I am very inspired by Zohra Sehgal. Who are your favourite heroines? Karisma Kapoor, Sri Devi and Kajol. I have always admired them and dreamt of being likeone of them

In today's time, If you put together the three khans of bollywood and place the rest away....you will realize their power and dominance.
Nobody denies the power and dominance of Khans in TODAY'S BOLLYWOOD. But is it wrong to say "Bollywood will be nothing without Khans." Khans only started ruling Bollywood post 1995-2000, Bollywood started around 1925 -1930s . In 90's it was only SRK who was superster. Aamir and Sallu were hit actors, but they became superstars only lately in 2008-2010 after blockbusters . Neither will the Khans be ruling Btown after 10 more years , as all are 47 + already. They cant do hero roles at 60's age. Bollywood will still be Bollywood without the Khans. Where will the Khans be without Bollywood? Back to their place of origin , Peshawar or Afganistan? Also, even after so much power and dominance, Hollywood and the west doesn't recognize the Khans, they only recognize Aishwarya Rai and Freida Pinto

THANK GOD some sensible person understand what she was trying to say
So according to you, the majority of the public is INSENSIBLE since always only Kareena fans UNDERSTAND what she says. Stop giving those lame excuses. Whenever Kareena speaks , she puts her foot in mouth. Be it (everyone wants to be size 0, Khans are Bollywood , and her latest comment on Aish belonging to a different generation).
Either she doesn't know proper English, that she makes these statements out of ignorance and then her fans NEED TO CLARIFY WHAT SHE MEANT. Or, simple, she is rude, brat and ass kisser of Khans

In todays time, If you put together the three khans of bollywood and place the rest away....you will realize their power and dominance. Bollywood is growing and earning more and more, the industry is thriving and it is cause of what the Khans bring to Bollywood. Good movies, good performances are done by several stars and actors. But unparalleled superstardom is what the Khans have. She is right in saying what she said. She was being honest. It might be difficult for some to accept that fact but its true. Bollywood would not be where it is now if it were'nt for the Khans.

THANK GOD some sensible person understand what she was trying to say
who cares abt ramleela, she's doing 3 other projects now!!
and OH WELL KAREENA CAN'T GET ALL THE BEST MOVIES after all, what about others!!!! she let this one go, someone else is happy now doing it..
bebo's always the first choice, like she said it's always good to be in a position where u can choose!
she's got all the cards, and am sure she's very happy cuz she's been doing GREAT since jab we met...many awesome movies, one after one.. even before jwm!! she's not an usual actress, very professional and talented...Also the highest paid actor, so I guess there's nothing left to say. I like her honnesty & her sensability!!
People hate on her for stupid reasons tho

The truth is that Bollywood will be right where it always has been, I guess the question to ask is: where will the Khans be without Bollywood? Lets keep some perspective here people.
----------------------
HAHA .. As in YOUR perspective ?
-------------------------------------------
Nope, not mine necessarily. But some perspective at least. The Khans didn't make Bollywood, Bollywood made the Khans. Plain and simple.
she sounds sensible...
"Bollywood will be nothing without Khans." Really?? I didn't expect this from kareena.....is she scared of Khans???
@voiceswriter you brought bipasha in your comments here and that's why I had to tell you how she's not better as you are trying to portray .... When I said something abt bipasha it's called attacking and when you criticize kareena .. It's not ? If you are gonna dish it out then you should have the guts to take it too! Point is there is nothing controversial abt this interview of hers but you have put on kareena hatred glasses which are not letting you see the reality without making a big hoohaa abt it!
VIDYA CARRIED TDP IN WITH HER CHEST!!!
AND NOW KAREENA WITH HER "BRAND BIG MOUTH""
PV PUBLISH THIS
Bipasha is very diplomatic and always twisting world to sound politically correct, she lies a lot, I can't trust a woman who is dark skin (nothing wrong with that) but say that she is light skin and use makeup to darken herself.
Im happy she is not working with him. I hate him. He is so snob and Kareena should NEVER work with him
Khans are Khans cos they are part of Bollywood .
Or other wise Afghanistan is full of Khans......lmao.And all these Khans are born out of Indian moms and hence part of Bollywood.
Ofcourse Muslim stars have fanbase in Muslim countries ,even otherwise these places were always Bolywood fanbase, these things only add to it.Get a life woman...
And she actually blurted out yestrady onstage that "kapoors will always rule" hahaa
This woman has no self -respect....such a sucker!!!
lol...she s such a sucker of khans.She actually said during the herione launch that "Kapoors will always rule" on the stage and Arjun Rampal went on to say to journos that "its a male dominated industry.The media as made a big hungama out of it.Now she s playing safe...Her toungue is her enemy BUT she so good at sucking that she act as if nothing happened.
Heroine should have casted Preity when story is that it is her story.

love you bebo, but you really need to learn some tact!!!
love barun sobti more though...
-----------------------------
@^ barun sobti...........ahhaha hes a fine azz man
she is full of herself ..
No need to attack Bipasha, anon! We are not talking about personal lives here (which they are all entitled to, has Bebo shared details of her wedding to Saif or breakup with Shahid?) we are talking general public speaking and conduct. Kareena cannot give an interview without stirring controversy or sound like she is insecure about something or attacking someone else. Bipasha is not like that, she is gives great interviews, does not kiss anybody's butt, tries to help others while working to improve herself.
P.S. thanks to the anons who supported me below.

Ehh ...stop praising VB to the skies... this is the problem with our country..if someone is good , they r put on the highest pedestal and if someone is okay, they are pulled down equally badly... VB has made all of us happy with her work...but PLEASEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE dont make into something she's not yet.. you sound as if she is God's gift to Bollywood !

it can also be a catty dig (and we know Kareena can be very catty) at legends like Mr. Amitabh Bachchan who has such a huuuuuge role in popularizing Bollywood. AB didn't make B'wood either but his status and contribution are undeniable.
--------------------------------------------
YOU ARE READING TOO MUCH INTO IT.... SHE NEVER MADE ANY DIG AT ANYONE!!!!
@ Voiceswriter
There might be others who are upfront too but that doesn't make Kareena any less upfront. How is Bipasha upfront ? She comes across as deluded when she says things like "she makes her skin 3 shades darker and she is actually fair in person!". She also lied about her breakup before it became public knowledge that they had broken a year ago.
what does this mean " Just because both the films are based on the life of an actress, doesn’t mean they are similar" as bebo said at the launch of trailer that this movie is not inspired by any actresses!! lol!!

No bollywood actress speaks their mind more than Bipasha Basu, that too + she makes sense while doing so. Even Preity Zinta is known for being fearlessly articulate and opinionated. Kareena can't speak out without sounding like she is attacking someone or kissing someone else's butt.
.....
I second that.

Not a very good statement Bebo! There must have been a time when people would have wondered there's nobody beyond a Dilip Kumar or a Rajesh Khanna or a Raj Kapoor, but then the Khans came...and after the Khans there will be the Kapoors(one of her own kind mind you!), the Singhs, the other Khans...!
so true, cant wait for the kapoors to start reigning again, although it has started with sonam, ranbir, kareena, arjun!
nope! kajol, dippy n kangs r upfront w their opinions n life choices too!
