From donning the hat of a sex worker in Chameli to a fiesty woman in Jab We Met, Kareena Kapoor has proved her mettle through a variety of roles in her career spanning almost two decades. The superstar has even ventured into TV -- as a judge on a dance reality show -- and radio -- as the host of a talk show, and the only space that needs to be covered by her seems to be theatre. But Kareena is scared of that.
Kareena Kapoor, during an interaction with HT, spoke about her career choices and detailed how she has always listened to her heart and not what people expected of her.
"I would love to do theatre, but I am really scared. In films, we are used to delayed gratification. But I feel performing on stage is an instant thing and I am very scared of that," she said.
The actress is currently busy promoting her upcoming movie 'Good Newwz', slated to be released on December 27.
In the interaction, Kareena also revealed how everyone asked her not to become a part of a four-women starrer film just after having a baby as it will ruin her career.
"Everyone was like you just had a baby, so why don’t you comeback to the screen with a heroine-oriented film where the story would be all about you. That is the norm here but I don’t think that. I have a slightly unconventional thinking and that has always been a part of my journey From Dev, Chameli, Yuva to Omkara, I have always tried to do something different and that gamble has actually paid off well," she said.
Kareena also spoke about the need to do different kind of movies.
She added, “There is so much more to explore now with lines blurring and great scripts coming to life more than ever before. I am not going to say that especially for women because I have never believed that. I always thought women have had the opportunity to choose. There is a lot left to explore. These are the exciting times. I have done it all. The big commercial movies are a part of my DNA and that’s never going to change, I will always be part of those but I am trying to do something different with each films.”
