Kareena Kapoor is one of the most versatile actresses in Indian cinema. While she became popular with her characters Poo and Geet, she has also shown her versatility in films like Jaane Jaan and The Buckingham Murders. Kareena has spent 25 years in the industry and has established a name for herself. Although Kareena has often expressed that she has no Hollywood ambitions, she recently expressed interest in doing a Korean drama.
In a recent chat with NDTV, when asked if she would like to star in a Korean drama or K-drama, she said, “Who knows? I wish for sure that I’d love to explore a Korean drama. Because the world is watching their series, their films, are so hugely popular. Everyone’s watching them.”
However, she also mentioned, “Our films are true to our culture and heritage. They are authentic. We love our song and dance, drama, action and our films are enjoyed in our languages. That’s also what sets us apart. We enjoy Korean and French cinema, but we still enjoy dancing to ‘Naatu Naatu’ at the Oscars stage.”
In a previous conversation with the Times of India, Kareena spoke about the need for reinvention and said, “At 17-18, it was all about wanting to be in every film. If you sustain for a decade, it’s about reinvention, which is scary in an industry which is male-dominated. Over the years, apart from me, there have been other brave actresses too who have taken big strides. Every five years, I ask myself, what new can I do now? It’s not just about being a part of successful films but leaving behind a legacy.”
“I come from a family (the Kapoors) where I have been challenged because they all are such amazing actors, but I want to leave my mark somewhere. Every 10 years, there is someone new, so how am I going to last? Sustaining yourself is tougher, so I like to make varied choices, be it Buckingham Murders, Singham, Crew or Jaane Jaan, which dropped on a streaming platform. I feel it would have done great on the big screen, too” she concluded.
