Critics may have lambasted Kareena Kapoor's 'bitchy' role in Kambakkht Ishq, but Bebo is least perturbed. "Kambakkht?isn't an Omkara or even a Jab We Met.
It wasn't meant for the critics. It was targetting the masses," says the actress frankly.
She adds, "Forget the Oscars, we aren't even thinking of the Indian awards, but simple box-office collections because ultimately, that's the parameter for success." What about the sexist jokes, abuses and MCP comments in the movie that have raised many an eyebrow? "We hear such comments everyday in real life.
People are laughing hysterically at the jokes. And Omkara had far more abusive lingo," she says and adds, "Come on, it was just a movie to watch while munching popcorn.
And I'm a star actress who has been constantly trying to strike a balance between critically-acclaimed films and commercially successful entertainers. I'm the only actress who can slip into any kind of shoes - Kolhapuri chappals or Jimmy Choo stilettos - because all sizes fit me.
But jealous tongues will wag." However, there's one person who is far from being jealous and has tagged her the most glamourous woman of today.
"Saif was most excited since the first promos of Kambakkht? were aired. His mother (Sharmila Tagore) was one of the most glamourous actresses in her time and now Saif says it's me.
He loves the way I'm able to balance my career with an Omkara and a Kambakkht?" On Saif referring to her as chhoti begum, Kareena says, "It's a huge compliment and a responsibility, too. I don't react to it because for me the Begum of Pataudi is still Saif's mum.
" There's another role the actress has decided to take up - that of a designer. She plans to launch her own design label soon.
"Yeah, I've taken fashion a step forward. Post-September, when I'm a little free from my endorsements and have wrapped up the month-long shoot of 3 Idiots, I'll be working on my own designer line.
I'm talking with Indian designers and international brands." The conversation veers towards Saif's upcoming film Love Aaj Kal.
Ask her if the intense love scenes between her beau and Deepika Padukone make her uncomfortable and she says, "So what? We're both actors first and complete professionals. We do what the script demands without it spilling into our personal lives.
"Lastly, ask the actress if she sings Bebo main Bebo, the song from Kambakkht Ishq to her love, and she says with a chortle, "No, we don't sing songs to each other. But if Love Aaj Kal is a hit too, we might just throw a party and play each other's chartbusters.
