Actor Kareena Kapoor, in a recent interview, mentioned that one cannot be a good star by simply having six-pack abs. She said that one needs to become a good actor to be a star in Bollywood.
In an interview with Film Companion, Kareena was questioned about her past remark when she said actors have become better after her cousin Ranbir Kapoor, Kareena was asked if one needs to be a ‘good actor’ to be a great ‘star.’
Kareena agreed and replied, ‘I'm so happy that we are finally there.” She said being a good actor and a big star goes like 'hand in glove.'
‘If you are great, talented, and people have liked you, connected with you, stardom will follow. It is not like, ‘Oh he has got six-pack abs, he is looking so hot, he is a big star.’ Arree please yaar! Sometimes, I feel like telling those actors, ‘Please wear your T-shirt first. I can’t even look at you right now,’ she said.
Kareena also called her cousin Ranbir Kapoor a ‘phenomenal actor.’
‘Now, if you are a good actor, you are going to survive a long time,’ she said and cited an example of Bobby Deol who was also a part of the interview.
‘Now Bobby is doing different characters. Now he is exploring his talent, which he always had and now finally he's getting this opportunity. You can't shut a good actor,’ she added, while Bobby called finding the roles to showcase talent the most arduous task for an actor.
Kareena Kapoor was last seen in Sujoy Ghosh's ‘Jaane Jaan’ along with Jaydeep Ahlawat and Vijay Varma. Her next release will be Hansal Mehta's ‘The Buckingham Murders’. It was previously premiered at the BFI London Film Festival.
Kareena will also be seen in ‘The Crew’ alongside Tabu and Kriti Sanon. She is also a part of Rohit Shetty's upcoming film ‘Singham Again’. It also has Deepika Padukone, Akshay Kumar, Tiger Shroff, and Ranveer Singh. ‘Singham Again’ will be released on Independence Day 2024.
