“Everything in Kambakkht Ishq is a style statement”- Kareena Kapoor
Kareena Kapoor tells us on the eve of the release of Kambakkht Ishq, her blockbuster with Akshay Kumar that though her journey has been great as an actor, she would like to grow more because she does not want to become complacent as an actress.
What
is
your
role
in
the
film?
I
play
a
part
time
super
model
Simrita
Rai,
who
works
for
a
surgeon
in
the
film.
Simrita
is
against
love.
She
is
arrogant
firebrand
who
is
more
than
able
to
stare
down
the
most
arrogant
male
with
her
caustic
wit
and
sardonic
tongue,
with
her
firm
belief
that
there
is
no
such
thing
as
love.
In
short,
Simrita
is
what
every
woman
dreams
of
being.
What
is
the
USP
of
Kambakkt
Ishq?
The
film
has
not
only
the
biggest
Bollywood
stars
like
Akshay
Kumar
and
Kareena
Kapoor
but
it
also
the
biggest
Hollywood
stars,
like
Sylvester
Stallone,
Brandon
Routh
and
Denise
Richards.
What
does
the
film
set
out
to
explore?
Kambakkt
Ishq
sets
out
to
explore
the
relationship
between
two
individuals
like
Viraj
Shergill,
played
by
Akshay
Kumar
and
Simrita
Rai,
played
by
me,
who
are
as
different
from
each
other
as
chalk
and
cheese.
No
matter
how
many
times
we
are
pushed
together,
there
are
only
fireworks.
Why
do
you
think
Kambakkt
Ishq
is
a
style
statement?
Everything
in
Kambakkht
Ishq
is
a
style
statement
.
You
can
describe
the
film
as
a
battle
between
the
sexes.
Though
it
is
a
hardcore
commercial
film,
I
consciously
chose
non-filmi
clothes.
Aki
Narula
has
sourced
my
clothes
from
Milan.
It
took
him
15
days
to
find
the
right
kind
of
clothes
for
me.
I
wanted
the
costumes
to
sync
well
with
my
character.
After
Jab
We
Met
where
my
clothes
became
a
national
rage,
Kambakkht
Ishq
is
going
to
set
new
trends.
Would
you
agree
that
it
is
Jab
We
Met
directed
by
Imtiaz
Ali
which
has
been
the
turning
point
of
your
career
as
an
actress?
I
should
say
with
due
respect
to
the
directors
of
my
films
like
Omkara
and
Chameli
that
though
they
were
special
films,
it
was
Jab
We
Met
alone
which
fit
me
like
a
glove
and
I"d
have
been
disappointed
a
lot
if
the
film
had
not
fetched
me
awards
for
acting.
Which
are
your
other
films
besides
Kambakkt
Ishq
which
are
being
lined
up
for
release
this
year?
Salman
Khan"s
home
production
directed
by
Prem
Soni
called
Main
Aur
Mrs
Khanna,
Karan
Johar"s
film
with
me
and
Saif
and
last
but
not
the
least
Roomi
Jaffrey"s
film
with
me
and
John
Abraham.
I
am
also
acting
in
Raj
Kumar
Hirani"s
3
Idiots
in
which
I
have
been
teamed
opposite
Aamir
Khan.
Is
it
true
that
you
are
doing
two
films
with
Saif?
Yes.
I
am
gung
ho
about
doing
two
films
with
Saif.
I
have
signed
a
film
with
Saif
for
director
Renzel
D"Sylva
for
Karan
Johar.
It
is
called
Qurban.It
is
quite
a
hard
hitting
role
as
far
as
I
am
concerned.
I
look
forward
to
doing
that
film
as
well
as
Saif"s
own
film
Agent
Vinod
with
Saif,
after
Tashan.
Besides
this
film,
I
am
also
all
set
to
do
a
film
with
John
Abraham
as
my
leading
man
for
Asthavinayak,
which
is
a
very
nice
love
story
to
be
shot
in
the
exotic
locales
of
both
New
Zealand
and
Spain.
Which
are
your
two
major
wishes
that
are
yet
to
be
fulfilled?
I
would
love
to
work
with
Rajkumar
Santoshi
and
Rakesh
Roshan,
who
are
the
only
two
major
directors
with
whom
I
have
yet
not
done
any
film
till
date.
Are
you
aiming
at
Hollywood
as
your
next
destination?
I
do
not
want
to
waste
my
money
on
a
Hollywood
agent.
I"d
rather
go
on
a
long
holiday
abroad
than
waste
my
time
and
energy
and
money
on
trying
to
make
it
in
Hollywood.
Do
you
have
reservations
about
doing
different
genres
of
films?
As
an
actress,
I
do
not
go
just
by
what
my
secretary
recommends
me
after
listening
to
the
script.
I
make
it
a
point
to
listen
to
every
script,
whether
it
is
written
by
an
established
writer
or
an
up
and
coming
new
writer.
If
I
had
reservations,
do
you
think
would
have
ended
up
doing
films
like
Chameli
earlier
which
was
in
contrast
to
the
kind
of
roles
which
I
was
doing
at
that
point
time
and
Jab
We
Met?
I
do
not
think
any
big
actress
would
have
agreed
to
do
a
role
like
the
ones
I
did
in
ether
Chameli
or
Jab
We
Met.
Describing
your
journey
in
films
from
Refugee
to
Kambakkht
Ishq?
The
going
has
been
great
as
an
actress
from
the
time
I
had
made
my
debut
with
J.P.
Dutta"s
Refugee
till
now.
I
am
glad
that
I
have
been
privileged
enough
to
have
had
opportunities
to
do
so
many
roles.
My
journey
has
been
great
as
an
actress,
but
yet
I
would
say
that
I
want
to
achieve
more.
I
feel
that
my
journey
has
just
begun
and
I
would
like
to
grow
more.
