I'm Not Dying To Break Any Norm: Kareena Kapoor Khan

Darpan News Desk IANS, 15 Feb, 2016 11:49 AM
  • I'm Not Dying To Break Any Norm: Kareena Kapoor Khan
Actress Kareena Kapoor Khan is picking unusual films like "Ki and Ka", and even working with younger actors like Arjun Kapoor. Breaking norms, is it? No, she says.
 
"Ki and Ka" is the story of a career-oriented woman, essayed by Kareena, and a house husband, played by Arjun. The film's trailer was launched at an event here on Monday.
 
It's an unusual choice of movie for an actress, and also the fact that she is paired with a fairly new actor like Arjun.
 
Asked if it's about breaking norms, Kareena said: "I don't think of it as breaking norms. I am an actor and it's in my blood. I have worked with Salman Khan, Shah Rukh Khan, Arjun... I work with everyone. I work with people with whom I am comfortable. I am not dying to break any norm."
 
 
Talking about the unusual pairing with Arjun, she said: "The typical pairing never works, but the odd pairing works because there is something about it which is very organic."
 
Kareena said her husband Saif Ali Khan is very proud that she signed "Ki and Ka", directed by R. Balki.
 
"We never discuss scripts, but when Balki sir messaged me, I was excited because I respect him as a filmmaker. I just told Saif that I am going to meet Balki, and the conversation ended there. Yesterday, Saif saw the film's promo and he said, 'I am so proud of you that you said yes to this film'. His reaction was amazing."
 
The film is slated to release on April 1.
 
DOING 'KI AND KA' IS ARJUN'S BRAVEST DECISION, SAYS KAREENA
 
 
The fact that actor Arjun Kapoor chose to play a man who wears the apron in the house instead of the pants in upcoming film "Ki and Ka", was very brave on his part, says his co-star Kareena Kapoor Khan.
 
The film, directed by R. Balki is about a career-oriented woman essayed by Kareena, and her house husband played by Arjun.
 
Kareena said it's a film with a new concept.
 
"I think the fact that this is such a brave script and Arjun has done this role, is the bravest decision he has taken. Not many men have the confidence to wear an apron and stand in that kitchen and tell their wife, 'Give me money to run the house'. That's a big thing," the actress said at the trailer launch of the film here on Monday.
 
Arjun says the notion of being a man in this country needs to be changed.
 
 
"I personally feel that to be a true man is to be able to take care of the person you love, in any capacity. In this country, that notion of being a man is stereotypical... and it should be changed."
 
Asked if the film is inspired from his real life in any way, Balki, who is married to filmmaker Gauri Shinde said: "Gauri accuses me for writing things that I never practice in my life. She says, 'Why don't you practice at least 10 percent of what you preach?' The fun is in doing films which are not part of your life.
 
"Ki and Ka" will release on April 1.
