  3. The actress also says she really wants to work with husband Saif Ali Khan

Kareena Kapoor Khan is one of those rare Bollywood heroines who has shared screen space with all the three Khans of Bollywood. The actress, in Mid-day’s latest Sit With Hitlist episode, describes her impressions of the superstars Shah Rukh Khan, Salman Khan, and Aamir Khan.


Comparing the three superstars, she says, “Salman always relies on his persona, his personality, his super duper stardom. Aamir is very focused. He just becomes that character. He gets obsessed and only thinks about his work.”


Referring to Shah Rukh Khan’s box office successes like Pathan and Jawan this year, Kareena insists, “(He is) The Shah of cinema in general. The emperor, the conqueror, everything that people have been saying I think is less for Shah Rukh.”


She also speaks about the roles her parents – Babita and Randhir Kapoor – have played in her and sister Karisma Kapoor’s lives. About her mother Babita, she says, “She was such a backbone to Karisma’s career.”

Kareena also points out the similarity between herself and her father. “He loves life, and living life a lot more. And a lot of that is my personality,” she says.

A photo of her and Alia Bhatt together went viral, with fans calling for a collaboration. In many ways, their career trajectories are similar. “Our picture went viral, and everyone started messaging Karan (Johar). He said why is everyone messaging me. I said, the onus is on you now,” Kareena says.

The actress also says she really wants to work with husband Saif Ali Khan because “I think he is one of the finest artists, if I may say.” While she has some great films in her kitty, somehow none of the roles she played opposite her husband Saif Ali Khan worked. Tashan, the film that brought them together in real life, was a massive flop. But Kareena says she thinks the film is 'quite cool'.

Is Kareena a teetotaler? She says, “I mean kind of, I do love wine, I’m not into,” followed by a hand gesture that you will have to watch in the full video that is out October 14.
