Kareena Kapoor tells Subhash K Jha that it is both flattering and scary to be in the power list

NO position in the film industry is permanent, says Kareena Kapoor who has replaced Aishwarya Rai in Filmfare’s power list. The actress says the position is comes with a lot of responsibilities. Kareena, who was seen in last year’s hit Golmaal Returns, admits the power comes not just from the movies, but also from the products that one endorses.

It’s flattering. And it’s scary. Lots of responsibilities. My power comes from my honesty to myself and to my work. I’ve always done things that come naturally from my heart. It’s amazing that I’m in the power list although I’ve never applied much thought to the process of getting there. I’m all heart, as you well know. At the end of the day, being true to myself is very important.

Yes, I know. Everyone has a chance to be in a certain position. I think Aishwarya has had a great innings. It is a great honour to be where she was in the power list. Power equations in the entertainment industry change minute by minute. I’m definitely going to try my best to hold that position.

The position makes me feel very responsible. I want to keep doing the kind of work that will keep me in that list. Last year, I was seen in a successful film Golmaal Returns where I didn’t have a pivotal role. Strangely audiences expect me to take centrestage all the time.

We can’t deny he’s also one of the hottest actors in the industry. I think we are a blend of looks and spirit. Saif and I are alike in many ways. He also follows his heart and is very honest in what he does. Whether it’s his professional or personal life, he comes clean.

I agree. But I make sure the products reflect my personality. My products are young, zestful, fun and classy. Yeah, I do a lot of endorsements. I’m endorsing 10 brands. Curiously Saif and I are endorsing just one brand together. — IANS
