Kareena Kapoor Khan recently set the digital world on fire with her performance in Jaane Jaan. Directed by Sujoy Ghosh, the thriller featured her in an unusual role but as always, the talented actress nailed it. And it seems like this week too, she’ll be in the news thanks to her headline-grabbing quotes in a detailed interview to Mid-Day. Kareena, in this interaction with Mayank Shekhar, spoke about her experience of working with the three Khans – Shah Rukh Khan, Salman Khan and Aamir Khan – and a lot more.
Kareena began by talking about Salman Khan. She said, “With Salman, you have an actor playing on his confidence and his super-duper stardom. He is confident to another level. And while it may seem so on the set, it’s not like he is unaware, or that he’s not listening, or is kinda sleeping… He’s listening to everything, and is sharp as a knife.”
Kareena Kapoor Kapoor then spoke highly about Shah Rukh Khan, “He’s all those things you hear about him, and more—truly the Shah, or Emperor, or Conqueror, as they say. For him, the film is about everybody, who’s on the set—from the co-star to the light boy on the tarp. You sense none of his stardom, once he’s in front of you, and how he multi-tasks, while making everyone feel special. He’s made of a special cloth.”
Both worked for the first time on the period film Asoka (2001) when she was just 21. She opined, “That was a truly brave film for his maiden home production. He took it all the way to the Venice Film Festival. It’s incredible, the vision for 20 years ahead, that he’s had. Back then, he knew that cinema was going to change, and he invested hugely in a VFX studio.”
Finally, Kareena Kapoor Khan opened up on Aamir Khan. Both were seen last year in Laal Singh Chaddha (2022). A lot was expected from this drama but it bombed badly.
Kareena revealed, “Recently, Aamir and I were at the inauguration of NMACC (Nita Mukesh Ambani Cultural Centre). That’s when we first met after (Laal Singh Chaddha). Well, I saw his face, and I could see how he was looking at me, apologetic and sad, at the same time.”
She added that he was disheartened as the film didn’t work. Kareena Kapoor Khan continued, “Together, we’ve delivered big films - 3 Idiots (2009) and Talaash (2012). But you know what? It doesn’t matter. I wrote a long letter (on WhatsApp) to both Aamir and the director (Advait Chandan), telling them that our relationships and talent don’t depend on the outcome of a film.”
When asked if Kareena ever analysed why Laal Singh Chaddha flopped, the actress replied, “I think it was the post-COVID times. People were looking for some more fun in their entertainment. And Laal Singh Chaddha is dark. Even while we were making it, Aamir discussed with me if we were going too dark with my character, Rupa. I said, no, let it be—that’s what it is.”
Kareena Kapoor Khan then raised laughs as she talked about Aamir’s quest for perfection, “He’s too focused on himself; obsessed. Sometimes I’d tell him, ‘Bahut ho gaya yaar’. You can’t do anything else while working on the film—all the conversations and people are centred on one thing. But that’s Aamir for you. And we’ve loved him for that.”
