Hollywood is not for me: Kareena Kapoor

Priyanka Chopra and Deepika Padukone have spread their wings to Hollywood, Kareena Kapoor Khan feels Hollywood is not for her.  With a variety of films in her kitty, Kareena says there is ample opportunity for female actors to prove themselves in Bollywood.

The actor talks to us about her husband’s (Saif Ali Khan) moustache, her take on small screen projects and the admiration she continually receives from the younger generation of actors.

Women have always had good roles. Good films have been coming their way since my mother’s (Babita Kapoor) time. Also my mother-in-law (Sharmila Tagore), Hemaji (Malini), Sridevi and Karisma



(Kapoor; sister), among others, have done really good films. It depends on your career choices. There are always opportunities. I have been acting for the last 16 years, and I have worked with Anil Kapoor, Salman Khan and Shah Rukh Khan. Now, I am working with Arjun Kapoor. I don’t see anything stopping women. If you are a good actor, you will get work till you are 80.

Los Angeles (USA) is not for me. The way Priyanka has put India out there, and done so well for herself, is amazing. I feel proud of her. But my priorities are different. I don’t see Hollywood as an avenue. I want to be an actor, a wife, and lot of other things in my life.
