"I loved working in Los Angeles" - Kareena Kapoor
Look what a strike does for you. It makes a sixty day dry spell and then when it calls it off, within four hours of notice; there are hundreds of media personnel present to attend the exclusive press conference of Kambakkht Ishq at Taj Lands End in Bandra. It wasn't the media alone who were given a short notice. Akshay Kumar had to fly down from Karjat in an hour's notice and Kareena had to rush from Mehboob Studios to attend the grand event.
Kareena Kapoor gave a short speech. A glimpse of the film's trailer and a song was screened for the media and a surprise cake cutting ceremony was held to mark the release date of the film - July 10. Then comes the stampede. Journalists, photographers and the camera crew rush to the near by room where the two sexes - Viraj (Akshay) and Simrita (Kareena) are ready to battle it out with some absurd, strange, mad and some decent questions thrown at her.
This
is
the
seventh
time
you're
working
with
Akshay
and
your
chemistry
with
him
is
working
out
fine.
What
say?
I
love
to
work
with
Akshay
Kumar
because
I've
known
him
since
I
was
in
school.
I
met
him
first
on
the
sets
of
Deedar
with
Karisma.
He
is
one
of
India's
biggest
superstars.
His
struggle
along
with
Karisma's
has
gone
hand
in
hand.
It
feels
like
he
is
a
part
of
a
family.
Your
best
friend
Amrita
Arora
is
also
there
in
Kambakkht
Ishq.
It's
been
great.
I've
worked
with
her
in
Golmaal
Returns
and
I'm
hoping
that
this
film
too
does
well
like
Golmaal
Returns.
You
look
is
very
different
in
the
film.
Tell
us
something
about
it.
The
stylist
of
this
film
is
Aki
Narula.
We've
shopped
from
Milan
and
Rome
for
the
costumes
of
Kambakkht
Ishq.
You
will
not
find
such
kind
of
dresses
in
a
normal
Hindi
film.
We've
gone
to
a
very
understated
and
a
classic
look.
I've
got
lots
of
messages
from
people
about
my
look
and
it
feels
nice.
How
different
is
Simrita
from
Kareena
Kapoor?
Very
different.
Simrita
in
the
film
is
a
feminist
and
I'm
not.
Simrita
is
a
tough
nut
to
crack
and
I'm
not.
Simrita
is
quite
insensitive
in
the
first
half
which
I'm
not.
But
that's
the
whole
fun
of
it
because
we
play
roles
different
from
our
real
life
personality.
You
too
have
got
a
dialogue
saying
'Men
want
only
one
thing'.
Don't
you
think
so?
Lagta
toh
aise
hi
hain
na?
When
you
watch
the
film
you'll
realise
that.
You
guys
watch
English
film,
don't
you?
Then
why
make
such
a
big
issue
out
of
it?
How
was
it
like
shooting
in
Hollywood
with
Hollywood
stars?
I
loved
working
in
Los
Angeles.
We
had
a
beautiful
weather
and
we
got
to
work
with
the
Hollywood
crew.
What
more
can
we
ask
for?
I've
only
done
one
scene
with
Denise
Richards
and
two
scenes
with
Sylvester
Stallone.
They
are
absolutely
normal
as
normal
can
be.
How
physically
challenging
and
tedious
can
a
role
be
after
you've
played
size
zero
in
Tashan?
Well,
Tashan
was
tiring
because
I
had
to
maintain
a
figure
which
sent
the
national
economy
for
a
toss.
It's
nice
and
different
in
Tashan.
Actually,
I
challenged
myself
to
that
film.
Whereas
in
Kambakkht
Ishq
it's
more
like
the
girl
needed
to
be
voluptuous
and
fuller.
She
needed
to
be
more
fashion
conscious.
I
will
don
and
change
myself
according
to
whatever
role.
You
just
mentioned
that
you
want
to
see
Akshay
Kumar
on
the
top
as
he
is
your
favourite
hero.
What
about
Saif?
Don't
you
want
to
see
him
on
top
too?
Saif
is
in
the
top
already.
What
was
the
best
compliment
you
received
from
Sylvester
Stallone?
The
fact
that
I
got
to
sit
with
him,
interact
with
him
and
learn
something
from
a
hero
who
is
like
a
father
figure
is
more
than
what
you
can
ask
for.
For
me,
that
was
my
compliment.
We
heard
that
Saif
didn't
like
you
wearing
a
bikini
in
Tashan
and
a
swim
suit
in
Kambakkht
Ishq.
People
don't
wear
jeans
and
go
swimming,
do
they?
Which
is
your
favourite
song
from
the
film?
There
is
a
song
with
my
name
'Bebo'
in
it
and
that
is
my
favourite.
