Trying
to
walk
into
the
footsteps
of
her
mother-in-law
and
veteran
actress
Sharmila
Tagore,
Bollywood
actress
Kareena
Kapoor
is
now
considering
acting
in
Bengali
films.
"I
have
been
offered
a
Bengali
film
and
I
am
thinking
about
it.
I
love
the
way
Bengali
directors
project
their
heroines
beautifully
and
aesthetically," Kapoor
told
PTI.
However
she
didn't
disclose
details
of
the
Bengali
film
which
she
is
considering.
Admitting
that
she
is
a
great
fan
of
the
late
Bengali
directors
Satyajit
Ray
and
Rituparno
Ghosh,
the
33-year-old
said
she
would
love
to
act
in
Bengali
films.
"But
then
I
do
not
know
too
many
people
in
the
Bengali
film
industry
and
I
do
not
know
the
language
Bengali.
So
far
no
one
has
dubbed
for
me
so
I
am
thinking
how
to
do
it,"
Kapoor,
known
for
films
like
'Jab
We
Met',
'Chameli',
'Bodyguard'
and
'Omkara',
said.
When
asked
about
her
mother-in-law
Sharmila
Tagore,
who
has
acted
in
a
number
of
Bengali
films,
she
said
she
will
definitely
consult
her
as
she
knows
the
industry
in
and
out.
"I
respect
her
deeply
and
we
are
very
close,"
she
said
adding
that
in
Kolkata,
she
is
in
love
with
the
sweet
taste
of
'mishti
doi' and
the
sweetness
of
the
Bengali
language.
Just
like
Sharmila,
she
is
also
a
celebrity
advocate
for
international
child
rights
body
UNICEF.
"I
have
done
a
lot
of
work
with
them
in
the
last
one
year
on
child
education.
In
rural
areas
and
small
towns
children
don't
even
go
to
schools
and
don't
have
the
right
to
education
as
they
work
in
farms
and
are
made
to
work
at
home
also,"
Kapoor
said
blaming
lack
of
education
for
issues
like
early
marriage
and
rape.
