Actors should realise that films are backed by fans, not reviews: Kareena Kapoor Khan

April 4, 2016

Mumbai, Apr 4: Actress Kareena Kapoor Khan says that her recently released film “Ki & Ka” might have not received rave reviews from some critics, but her fans and movie-goers have liked the film. She is happy and content with that because she feels that the views of the “aam janta” (common man) are of utmost importance.

kareenaWhen media caught up with the actress before she walked the Lakme Fashion Week Summer-Resort 2016 ramp as a showstopper for Rohit Bal’s show here, she was asked about how “Ki &Ka” has contributed to her career.

She said: “Well, I think a lot.”

“A lot of the reviews didn’t back the film, but audiences backed the film and I think that’s most important. Actors should realise that the films are backed by your fans, the ‘aam janta’, and that’s more important,” she added.

Bal showcased the finale show at the fashion week and Kareena like a diva in a heavily embroidered lehenga and choli.

Asked how much care she takes for looking good in real life, she said: “I believe that fashion is more in comfort and if you are comfortable, then you will automatically look good. I feel I am always well-dressed.”

So is she ready to experiment with her looks in films?

“I am open in the sense that when I am doing fashion blogs, commercial films and other things… But for films, you have to stick to the character. You can’t just experiment just for the sake of it. You have to do different styles or do strange things to your hair and make-up just because you want to experiment. It has to stick to the character.”

But what if the role demands it?

“I am not going to shave my head if that’s the level of the experimentation,” she said.

Mumbai, May 30: Actor Vaani Kapoor on Saturday said she will go on a virtual date with five people as part of an initiative to raise money for daily wage earners, who have been affected due to the nationwide lockdown implemented to rein in coronavirus.

Vaani has teamed up with actor Arjun Kapoor's sister Anshula Kapoor’s online fundraising platform, Fankind, to raise funds for daily wage workers.

Vaani and Fankind have come together to provide five of her fans a chance to go on a virtual date with her - by donating to provide food to daily wage workers.

“As human beings, we will need to come forward and support as many people as possible in need due to the coronavirus pandemic in our country. I’m doing my bit to support the daily wage earners of our country and their families who are in dire situations given the lockdown.

“My activity, in which five lucky winners can have a virtual date with me, will see us collect funds to help feed them and their families across the country," Vaani said in a statement.

Earlier, Arjun too supported the initiative to help daily wage earners.

According to the press release, the funds will go to GiveIndia, a non-profit organisation, which will provide hot cooked meals to wage earners and their families. Each meal costs Rs 30 and will be delivered in various areas of Maharashtra, Bangalore, and Chennai.

A.T.E. Chandra Foundation has also come on board and will be adding 25 percent of the total donation value collected as a matching amount, thereby multiplying the impact, the release said.
