She
is
known
as
'Size
Zero'
of
the
Indian
Film
Industry.
So
we
decided,
let's
just
call
her
'Half
a
Bagel'.
She
is
slim,
sleek
and
sexy.
Kareena
Kapoor
is
taking
Bollywood
by
storm
since
a
year,
and
taking
the
paparazzi
by
frenzy
whenever
she
is
spotted
with
boyfriend
and
actor
Saif
Ali
Khan.
Off
screen,
Kareena,
popularly
known
as
Bebo
in
Bollywood,
exudes
a
smaller-than-life,
self
deprecating
persona.
She
always
looks
hopeful
about
her
future,
whether
it's
family,
films
or
Saif
Ali
Khan.
She
is
unique.
She
has
the
sort
of
untouchable
star
quality
about
her.
In
person,
she
is
quite
remarkably
beautiful
and
lean.
So
lean
that
she
seems
almost
to
be
a
trick
of
perspective.
The
directors
she's
worked
with
routinely
comment
on
her
flexibility.
The
actors
comment
on
her
dedication
and
passion
for
films
and
her
boyfriend
comments,
''She
is
very
adaptable
to
the
different
worlds
our
directors
create
for
her.''
Such
is
the
respect
this
actress
gets
delivered.
Since
her
new
life
with
beau
Saif
has
begun,
and
she
is
carefully
selecting
the
right
scripts
coming
her
way,
Kareena
Kapoor
has
blossomed
into
the
most
talented
and
versatile
actress
of
her
generation.
She
is
so
real
that
she
doesn't
even
hesitate
to
say,
''Why
don't
journalists
ever
ask
Charlize
Theron
or
Halle
Berry,
why
they
do
a
love
making
scene
in
a
movie?
Why
is
it
always
have
to
be
us?''
when
asked
her
about
the
intense
love
making
scene
with
Saif
Ali
Khan
in
Kurbaan.
Now
that's
what
we
respect
about
this
bold
Indian
woman.
But
the
lady
doesn't
stop
there.
''When
a
viewer
sees
Kurbaan,
they're
not
going
to
go
back
with
just
the
kiss'',
she
adds.
On
her
way
to
the
Heathrow
airport
to
catch
her
flight
to
Dubai,
where
both,
'Saifeena'
(that's
their
new
combined
name)
are
busy
promoting
Kurbaan,
we
get
lucky
to
be
talking
to
the
Indian
phenomenon
at
the
right
place
at
the
right
time
-
the
phenomenal
princess
Kareena
Kapoor.
By
the
way,
the
time
I
spoke
to
her
was
half
past
midnight.
The
promos
of
Kurbaan
reminds
us
a
lot
of
your
elder
sister
Karisma
in
Fiza.
How
intense
can
you
get
as
an
actress?
Well,
Kurbaan
is
an
intense
film,
its
cutting
edge
and
gripping
too.
Kurbaan
is
a
new
wave
of
cinema
that's
coming
along.
All
our
characters
are
intense;
it's
not
just
only
me.
Yes,
my
role
of
Avantika
is
the
most
powerful.
So,
you'll
be
surprised
with
our
strong
cast
when
the
film
hits
the
theatres.
I
hope
our
sweet
London
journos
haven't
been
asking
you
the
same
cliched
questions,
have
they?
You
know
what?
Everybody
has
been
asking
me
more
or
less
the
same
questions
(laughs).
So
I
hope
you
ain't
going
to
make
this
one
cliche
like
your
London
colleagues.
So
how
complex
is
Avantika,
the
role
you
play,
in
the
film?
Avantika
is
a
simple
girl.
She
maintains
her
integrity
very
well
in
the
film
but
is
being
used
as
a
pawn
in
a
huge
game
being
played
around
by
the
terrorists.
We've
tried
to
keep
Avantika
real
and
at
the
same
time,
commercial.
The
role
isn't
a
documentary
types
because
let's
not
forget,
it's
a
Karan
Johar
film.
Kurbaan
is
a
movie
with
a
lot
of
repeat
value.
Films
have
a
shelf
life
of
three
days
now.
Friday,
Saturday
and
Sunday.
It's
a
hit
or
a
flop.
You'll
be
surprised
that
a
lot
of
movies
are
declared
a
hit
on
a
Friday
itself.
But
sadly
those
movies
are
not
really
a
hit.
Today's
all
about
perception
and
a
lot
about
your
PR.
But
some
movies
are
going
to
do
well
even
post
Monday
as
well.
Films
like
Love
Aaj
Kal,
New
York
and
Wake
Up
Sid
have
done
well.
The
real
test
of
films
begins
on
the
fourth
day
of
their
release
that
is
a
Monday.
Unfortunately
the
media
doesn't
like
to
believe
that.
That's
the
test
we
all
have
to
pass.
Kurbaan
falls
under
a
category
which
has
good
music,
good
story,
meaning,
soul,
good
production
house,
good
actors,
etc.
I'm
sure
and
we
hope
it
has
a
longer
shelf
life.
You
think
KJo
is
drifting
away
from
his
usual
rom-coms?
Would
you
expect
a
Kurbaan
coming
from
a
Dharma
Production?
The
whole
idea
is
that
when
you
are
in
a
creative
field,
be
it
a
producer,
be
it
an
actor,
etc,
we
all
have
to
experiment,
we
all
have
to
discover
and
we
all
have
to
do
different
stuff.
I
don't
think
Karan
Johar
really
wants
to
be
a
mediocre
producer
or
a
director.
He
has
always
pushed
the
envelope
and
he
has
always
made
great
movies.
If
Karan
doesn't
do
it
than
who
else
will?
How
did
you
react
on
Saif's
quote
stating
that
he
sees
a
lot
of
Sharmila
Tagore
in
you?
That's
a
great
compliment
from
Saif.
Sharmila
Tagore
was
one
of
the
only
actresses
in
Indian
cinema
to
strike
a
balance
between
doing
parallel
cinema
and
doing
a
commercial
entertainer.
She
has
done
Mausam
and
an
Evening
in
Paris.
I'd
like
to
believe
that
I
can
also
do
an
Omkara
and
a
Kambakkht
Ishq.
I
have
constantly
been
doing
roles
in
which
I
don't
get
type
cast
and
I'm
sure
that
the
directors
and
the
filmmakers
know
that
now.
Love
making
scene
cannot
get
easier
than
this,
can
it?
An
off
screen
couple
getting
intimate
on
screen.
Actually,
to
be
honest
with
you,
I
would've
done
Kurbaan
even
if
Saif
wasn't
there
in
the
film.
I
would've
stuck
to
the
script
which
was
given
to
me.
I'm
sure
he
would've
done
the
same.
So
of
course,
this
love
making
scene
is
a
bit
over
hyped
because
we
are
an
off
screen
couple.
But
I
know
one
thing.
When
a
viewer
sees
Kurbaan,
they're
not
going
to
go
back
with
just
the
kiss.
The
kiss
isn't
important.
What's
important
is
our
message
of
the
film.
What's
important
are
the
thrilling
moments
in
our
film,
etc.
Why
don't
journalists
ever
ask
Charlize
Theron
or
Halle
Berry
why
they
do
a
love
making
scene
in
a
movie.
Why
is
it
always
have
to
be
us?
Our
love
making
scene
is
done
with
aesthetically
in
a
very
classy
manner.
Let
me
see
if
you
can
get
three
out
of
three
here
in
this
quick
rapid
fire.
Ok,
let's
play.
I'm
sure
it'll
be
exciting
Saif
Ali
Khan's
first
film
as
an
actor?
I
think
his
first
film
was
Parampara.
You
got
the
first
one.
Now
what
was
Saif's
name
in
Omkara?
That's
simple.
Langda
Tyagi
That's
two
on
two.
Here's
the
big
one.
Saif's
first
film
with
Akshay
Kumar?
His
first
film
with
Akshay
was
Keemat
I'm
sorry
to
say
but
you
get
2
out
of
3.
His
first
film
was
Yeh
Dillagi
Oh
yes!
Never
mind.
Better
luck
next
time.
What
is
Kurbaan?
Kurbaan
is
a
pain
of
intense
emotions.
