From
her
debut
film
Refugee
to
her
latest
release
Talaash,
Kareena
Kapoor
has
come
a
long
way
in
her
decade-long
career.
The
actress
says
she
picks
different
kinds
of
roles
as
she
prefers
taking
risks
when
it
comes
to
choosing
films.
Be
it
a
'masala'
film
like
Bodyguard
or
a
women-centric
movie
like
Heroine,
Kareena
has
it
all
in
her
kitty.
The
32-year-old
Bollywood
A-lister
says
it
is
her
duty
as
an
actress
to
dole
out
a
variety
of
films
for
her
fans.
"It
is
the
duty
of
an
actor
to
try
and
pick
up
different
roles,
be
a
little
brave
about
the
whole
thing.
Sometimes
films
will
work
and
sometimes
they
won't.
It's
fun
taking
risks.
I
just
can't
just
keep
looking
pretty
and
doing
a
song-and-dance
film," Kareena
told
PTI
in
an
interview.
The
actress
said
people
had
asked
her
not
to
play
Riana
Briganza
in
Shakun
Batra's
Ek
Main
Aur
Ekk
Tu
earlier
this
year,
as
the
film
was
slightly
unconventional.
"When
I
was
doing
Ek
Main
Aur
Ekk
Tu,
everyone
said
it
is
slightly
non-commercial,
since
the
boy
doesn't
get
the
girl
in
the
end.
I
only
did
the
film
because
people
were
saying
that.
I
told
Shakun
that
if
you
change
the
end
of
this
movie,
I'm
not
doing
it.
That
was
me.
I
wanted
to
do
Riana
Briganza
and
wanted
my
year
to
end
with
something
totally
bizarre
like
Talaash.
I'm
happy
with
both,"
said
Kareena.
This
year
has
been
quite
colourful
for
Kareena.
While
in
Aamir
Khan
starrer
Talaash,
she
played
the
spirit
of
a
prostitute,
Madhur
Bhandarkar's
Heroine
had
her
star
as
a
Bollywood
actress.
Kareena
also
turned
out
as
an
ISI
agent
in
Agent
Vinod
and
will
be
next
seen
in
a
item
number
in
Dabangg
2.
"I
always
try
to
balance
the
mass-oriented
films
with
the
other
kinds.
My
fans
love
to
see
me
in
commercial
stuff
as
well,
for
that
there
is
the
item
song
'Fevicol
se' that
I
have
done
for
Dabangg
2.
"It's
nice
to
do
a
role
like
Rosie
in
Talaash,
who
is
so
sensitive,
and
then
something
like
this
song.
People
should
see
that
I
am
trying
to
do
different
things
and
not
just
confidently
doing
my
own
thing
or
repeating
the
same,"
she
said.
Talaash
opened
to
positive
reviews
on
November
30
and
Kareena's
performance
has
been
lauded.
The
actress
said
this
a
good
sign
for
the
industry.
"People
have
liked
the
film
as
a
whole
and
my
role
has
been
appreciated.
It
kind
of
gives
hope
and
faith
to
actors
that
there
is
space
for
good
cinema
and
a
good
story."
The
film
is
a
suspense
thriller,
which
sees
Aamir
playing
the
role
of
an
inspector
investigating
the
death
of
an
actor,
while
Kareena's
character
helps
him
out.
"Aamir
has
a
lot
to
do
with
my
decision
to
do
this
film,
every
actress
wants
to
work
with
him.
But
that
aside,
when
I
heard
the
part
they
were
offering
me,
it
kind
of
blew
me
away,"
she
said.
Kareena
said
the
film's
success
also
shows
that
an
actress' marital
status
doesn't
really
affect
her
career.
"I'm
happy
that
Talaash
has
done
well,
because
it
shows
that
it
really
doesn't
matter
whether
you
are
married
or
not,
it's
all
about
being
part
of
a
good
film."
Having
tied
the
knot
with
Saif
Ali
Khan
in
October
after
a
five-year
relationship
with
the
actor,
Kareena
said
her
life
hasn't
changed
much
post-marriage.
"I
don't
understand
why
such
a
big
deal
is
being
made
about
my
marriage.
I
married
the
man
that
I
love
and
I
am
happier.
Life
really
hasn't
changed
much."
