Don't have the courage and boldness to do films like 'The Dirty Picture': Kareena Kapoor Khan

June 30, 2014

Kareena Kapoor KhanHyderabad, Jun 30: Actress Kareena Kapoor Khan says though she loves doing commercial films, she would not mind being part of off beat movies if an exciting offer comes her way.

"Commercial films have their own charm. I love doing commercial masala films. In my career commercial films like 'Golmaal Returns', 'Bodyguard', 'Ra.One' and others did well at the box office," Kareena said in an interview here.

"I think the commercial films that I did had something for me to do in it. It is not that in these films I was just there for the heck of it. I enjoy doing commercial films. I think I am the most commercial heroine," she said.

Though the actress loves being part of commercial films, she also wants to act in parallel cinema, provided the offer is exciting. "I will do that (parallel or off beat cinema), but I won't do it just for the heck of it. I have been one of the initial actresses to do films like 'Dev', 'Chameli', 'Omkara' and others," Kareena said.

"At this stage I will not do a film like that because I have done too much of that. The script has to be good as I don't have anything to prove to anyone now...till then I am happy doing commercial films," she said.

Kareena did off beat films in her career primarily because she needed to balance herself as an artist. "I come from a family where I wanted to prove myself as an actress. I was 21 when I played the role of a prostitute in 'Chameli' and then again played it in 'Talaash'," she said.

"My mother-in-law has played a prostitute twice in her career, in 'Amar Prem' and 'Mausam', in a span of 13 years and so have I," she said. The 33-year-old actress says she has done lot of films for friends and now she want to do movies for story.

She did not name the films that she did for the sake of friendship. At a time when most of the films have intimate or bold scenes, Kareena doesn't seem to be open for it. "I don't think I can be part of a film like 'The Dirty Picture'.

I don't think I can ever do a film like this. I don't have the courage and boldness to do such films. For me it is a challenge to be part of a film like 'Golmaal 3' and still have a great role," Kareena said. "It is an honour for me to be part of films like 'Singham Returns', that is what works for me and my career," she said.

New Delhi, Jul 10: Actor Bhumi Pednekar, who is staying indoors like many other Bollywood celebrities, on Friday said that she has learned to prioritise what is important to her amid the COVID-19-induced lockdown.

"One thing that I have learnt about myself is that I love isolation. I love being by myself. I saw a lot of people complaining that they are bored at home or that they cannot go out. I am an extrovert, I am a very social person but this quarantine has led me to realise that I do prefer my isolation over meeting people because I haven't really been in touch with people," she said.

"I have kind of been catching over my reading, not seen much television but started watching shows. I have spent a lot of time with my mom and honesty there were days when I did nothing," she added.

The 'Pati Patni Aur Woh' actor further said that it was important loving oneself and enjoying one's own company.

"I have kind of prioritised what I feel is important in life. I have re-educated myself. But the biggest learning has been that I love being alone. And maybe I have kind of enjoyed this state because as actors you are constantly surrounded by people whether you are promoting or shooting a film," she said.

"Your immediate entourage is also like a team of quite a few people. You are constantly over the phone, you are constantly over social media," she added.

Pednekar was last seen in Karan Johar's horror film 'Bhoot Part One: The Haunted Ship,'.

She will next be seen in another horror thriller, 'Durgavati.'

Los Angeles, Jan 27: Pop-rock innovator Billie Eilish on Sunday bested a packed field to win the Grammy for Song of the Year -- which honors songwriters -- for her hit "Bad Guy."

The 18-year-old beat veteran acts Lady Gaga, Taylor Swift and Lana Del Rey along with newcomers Lewis Capaldi and Lizzo to take home the coveted honor.

She shares the prize with her older brother Finneas O'Connell, her primary creative collaborator.

The pair were gracious onstage, with Eilish telling her fellow nominees: "I grew up watching all of you."

"We just make music in a bedroom together," said O'Connell. "We still do that and they let us do that. (...) This is to all of the kids making music in your bedrooms today -- you're going to get one of these."

Eilish was among this year's most nominated artists with six nods, and is the youngest person ever nominated in all four of the top categories.

Best song was her second award of the night. She won earlier for best pop vocal album for "when we all fall asleep, where do we go?"

Before she released the album in March 2019, Eilish had already assembled a fervent online following for her bold, often haunting pop sound.

In August, Eilish became the first musician born in the 2000s to top the Billboard Hot 100, when she dethroned Lil Nas X, who spent a record-breaking 19 weeks at the top with viral hit "Old Town Road."

The artist named Billboard's 2019 Woman of the Year has also written and will perform the theme song for the upcoming James Bond film "No Time To Die."

"I feel like I'm not supposed to be here," she told E! television on the red carpet before the gala. "Life is weird."
