Kareena Kapoor Khan is one of the most successful Bollywood actresses who has maintained her A-game throughout her 24 years of acting career so far.

Kareena Kapoor Khan opens up on managing difficult situations in her career

During a recent conversation with Ranveer Allahabadia, Kareena Kapoor Khan opened up about the difficult situations she faced in her career and how she managed it. Talking about the time before Jab We Met when she had a string of flops at the box office, Kareena shared that she used to cry before going to sleep and how 'if it happened to anybody honestly nobody would survive this.'

Kareena shared that she never let anybody feel it. However, she took a break from the films for one year and reconsidered her choice of films. "I had said no to so many films and I was at home because I was like so many films are not doing well, I need to take a step back to reassess why the hell this is happening, to wait for that perfect script which will come which might take a year or two but I must be prepared to pull back," she said.

Talking about feeling the box office pressure, Kareena admitted that 'ultimately the box office success is important' because you are chasing it. Explaining her point, she said, "We are chasing the craft, we are chasing the art but with art, we are also chasing the fact (that numbers are important), this longevity has happened also because of the box office hits" along with other factors like confidence and personality.
