On Wednesday evening, Kareena Kapoor Khan launched a film festival dedicated to her, organised by PVR INOX. The week-long festival, celebrating 25 Years of Kareena Kapoor Khan, will run in over 30 cinemas halls in 15 cities from September 20 to September 27.
The 43-year-old actress said that husband Saif Ali Khan was extremely happy when he heard about the festival and wanted to attend it. “When I told him about this, he was very excited. So he wants to watch `Omkara` and `Ashoka` for sure,” she said at the press conference in Mumbai.
Kareena married Saif in October 2012 and they have two sons — Taimur and Jeh. The actress revealed that her sons are yet to understand her profession and haven`t watched any of her films. “Maybe I should get them to watch something at the festival. I think if I ask, everyone`s going to say `Jab We Met`. `Omkara` would be a bit shocking for them with their father in. So, yeah, I think we can start with `Jab We Met`,” Kareena said.
Taimur asks, `Am I famous?`
Talking about Taimur`s understanding of her stardom, Kareena said he is aware that he is famous among the paparazzi, but not sure why. “With paparazzi all around he knows that he`s famous. But he keeps asking, `Am I famous?` I`m like, `No, you`re not famous. I`m famous. You haven`t done anything.` So he`s like, `Maybe one day I`ll do it.` Right now, he doesn`t have films on his mind. It`s only football. So I hope he will watch some of my films. I`m sure someday,” she said.
Would love to work with Saif again
Kareena, who has worked with Saif on JP Dutta`s war drama `LOC Kargil`, `Omkara`, `Tashan`, `Kurbaan` and `Agent Vinod`, said she wants to once again share screen space with her husband. She also said she is looking forward to Saif`s Telugu debut “Devara: Part 1”, which is set to be released in theatres on September 27.
“I would love to work with him right now. He`s also going to taste blood because he`s starring for the first time in a Telugu film that`s releasing next week. So I think that people are really excited, so I would love to do something with him soon, hopefully,” Kareena said.
Which film of hers would Kareena Kapoor show Taimur and Jeh first? Guess!
