Kareena Kapoor Khan on not entering Hollywood

A lot has changed in showbiz over the years. Today, several leading actresses are making efforts to go out there and explore work in Hollywood also, instead of just restricting their talent to one particular industry. The list is just growing as the time passes by.

However, Kareena Kapoor Khan, who is regarded as one of the most successful film actresses of all times, has no intentions of going to Hollywood. She says her priorities are completely different at this point in time.


"I still do not have that gumption. You need a lot of determination, a lot of gumption, a lot of grit and a lot of that. I have it but I do not have that much. Also, my priorities in my life are completely different. I am at different stage and I do not have that time and mindset to be so out there. It has never been a thought,” she says in a recent interview.

In the same interview, she also reveals that her iconic character Poo from Karan Johar’s magnum-opus Kabhi Khushi Kabhie Gham (2001) was over the top. However, she accepts that it was a difficult character to play.

"I think it was a difficult character to play. To be that over the top kind of character and be so convincing... I think the easiest thing is to cry and be emotional but to make people laugh and to kind of, you know, being a mainstream actor and play a character that has to be so over the top but so lovable is, I think, very difficult,” she concludes.

Kareena Kapoor Khan is currently busy promoting her forthcoming film, Angrezi Medium. Also starring Irrfan Khan and Radhika Madan in lead roles, the movie is slated to release on 13th March 2020.

Karishma Vijay credits her single father after winning Lord Sugar's £250,000 investment

Highlights

  • Vijay, 28, beat fellow finalist Pascha Myhill to win The Apprentice.
  • Her father raised her and her sister alone despite community doubt.
  • She plans to grow beauty brand Kishkin with Lord Sugar's backing.
When Karishma Vijay's father chose to raise his two daughters alone, people in his community told him it could not be done.
On Thursday night, his younger daughter won The Apprentice. "My older sister is a doctor, and I'm the winner of The Apprentice. What more can a dad ask for?"
Karishma said after securing Lord Sugar's £250,000 investment in the BBC show's all-female final, now in its 20th year.
The 28-year-old beauty entrepreneur from Ashford, Surrey, noted that her parents are "the proudest people on Earth right now," adding that her father raised both her and her sister as a single parent against the wishes of those around him.
"Being from the kind of community I'm from, they told my dad, there's no way you're going to be able to raise these two girls as a man, as a single parent," she said. Thursday night proved them wrong.

Win against odds

Vijay beat fellow finalist Pascha Myhill, a recruitment consultant from Reading, Berkshire, in a task requiring both women to build a brand and advertising campaign for their respective business ideas.

Previously fired candidates returned to support both finalists before they presented to Lord Sugar and a panel of industry experts.
