“I want to be working till I die, till my hands and limbs are working”
She belongs to one of Bollywood’s most celebrated families but Kareena Kapoor Khan has earned her laurels on merit. Whether it is playing Geet (Jab We Met, 2007), still the gold standard for spirited young woman on screen, showcasing her comic timing
(Golmaal films), being the passionate desi Desdemona (Omkara, 2006) or the brazen sex worker (Chameli, 2003) Kapoor Khan knows how to bring her A game. It’s not that she hasn’t had her share of questionable choices (Kambakkht Ishq, 2009) and bizarre rejections (Goliyon Ki Rasleela...Ram Leela,
2013) but she has managed to hold her ground in Hindi cinema. Post marriage and baby, the actress shows no signs of slowing down. Last year, she walked away with her thespian credentials intact in a subpar film (Ki & Ka), and demonstrated how she asserts maximum impact in minimum time with her performance in Abhishek Chaubhey’s drug drama Udta
Punjab. From gracing magazine covers with her baby bump to walking the ramp, she demonstrates the acumen of a driven woman. She resumes from where she left off. She will headline the female ensemble drama Veerey
Di Wedding. She is staying true to her diktat “I want to be working till I die, till my hands and limbs are working.”
