Marriage and motherhood have had no bearing on Kareena Kapoor Khan’s choice of films and roles, and never will.
From slimming down to a size zero for her film to walking the ramp with a baby bump, the actress, who comes from Bollywood’s famed Kapoor family, has always made a statement.
Asked if she would rethink before signing a film or before appearing in a dance number being a mother now, Kareena told IANS here: “No really, I mean there is nothing wrong with song and dance. It is not derogatory. We come from a film family and our films are known for song and dance. So I will always do what I think is right, what works for my personality and my career.”

“I might not be able to give time to a film like earlier; so I would want to work in a film that gets over within 50 days. So maybe not two to three films in a year, but I would rather do one film every year,” added the mother of Taimur Ali Khan, her son from actor Saif Ali Khan.
In the past, Kareena has featured in dance numbers like It’s Rocking, Marjaani, Fevicol Se and Mera Naam Mary Hai.
The 37-year-old has been experimental with her choice of films in the last 18 years of her career. Whether it is films like Yaadein, Chameli, Yuva and Omkara, she has also done commercial potboilers like Jab We Met, 3 Idiots, Golmaal 3, Singham Returns and Bajrangi Bhaijaan.
Come June 1, she will be seen in Veere Di Wedding, which also features Sonam Kapoor, Swara Bhasker and Shikha Talsania.
“The idea is to challenge myself in whichever ways. See in real life Aamir Khan does not look like the way he looked in Dangal. But he did it for a film. I am always an actress who moulds herself according to the role that I play, according to the vision a filmmaker has for the character. That is really my way to keep going,” she said.
Having started her career with J.P. Dutta’s Refugee, she has also featured in movies like Kabhi Khushi Kabhie Gham…, Asoka, Hulchul, Don, Heroine and Udta Punjab.
