On Kaho Naa Pyaar Hai
"The film was made for Hrithik. His dad spent five hours on every frame and close-up of his, whereas not even five seconds were spent on Amisha. There are portions in the film where she has pimples and under-eye bags on her face. She just doesn't look beautiful, but every shot of his was a dream. If I were in the film, I would have definitely got a better deal, but I still feel that the attention would have divided between us. So, I'm glad I didn't do the film."
(Excerpts from Filmfare magazine interview)
On her flop debut
"Okay so I have given only flops. But why am I still being paid more than Amisha? I have the talent. I'm confident. And I know I'll be remembered always. I don't want Amisha Patel's history hits. I don't want to be mediocre in hit films. I'd rather be brilliant in flop movies."
(Excerpts from Filmfare magazine interview, March 2002)
Hrithik Roshan: A frame from her past?
When the newspapers reported that she was completely besotted with Hrithik and was signing films with him left, right and centre*,* she said, "I'm not besotted with married men nor will I have affairs with them. Married men will be detrimental to my career. Ask the producers, directors,distributors why all of them are hell-bent on signing Dugu and me together. Quite obviously because we are a hot pair."

When Devdas broke her heart
Sanjay Leela Bhansali did a screen test with Kareena for the role of Paro in Devdas, but went on to cast Aishwarya Rai instead. In an interview to Filmfare Magazine back then, Kareena quoted this,*"*Sanjay Bhansali is a confused director. He is a person who does not stand by his word. He doesn't have any morals and principles in life. Tomorrow, even if he is the next Raj Kapoor or Guru Dutt, and my films don't do well and if I'm a flop actress, I will still not ever work with him."
On Abhishek Bachchan
Abhishek and Karisma's split affected Kareena's relationship with Bachchan clan initially. Here is what she said back then, "In my life there's still room for Abhishek Bachchan, I just wish there is little bit of room still left in his heart for me."
Jab she met Shahid
"I'll most definitely marry Shahid. I'm not the kind to jump from one relationship to another. For me love is for keeps."
(Source: Interview published in TOI in 2006)
Possessive about Shahid Kapoor
Back then, the Kapoor babe was so possessive about Shahid, here is what she said, "I do not mind being put behind the bars for killing any woman who dared have an eye on Shahid."
(Excerpts from a published interview in July 2004)
Post Break-Up
"Trust me, Shahid and I have always spoken to each other whenever we meet socially. Even Saif and Shahid have a conversation. We have always been on cordial terms after our breakup. Come on, we are not 14 or 15."
(Excerpts from Mumbai Mirror, 2011)
On Aishwarya Rai Bachchan
When a journalist asked Kareena how different, the film, Heroine would have come out if Ash was the lead instead of her. To which Kareena Kapoor replied, "It is very unfair to compare us, we're from two different generations."
On her talent
"My film-makers have accepted me. They know I'm in a league of my own. Madhuri Dixit gave her first hit after nine years. Sridevi never had a historical hit. And yet they were the top actresses because they were immensely talented. The same goes for me too."
(Excerpts from Filmfare Magazine, March 2002)
On National Awards
"I don't want the national award... I seriously do not need any such thing. I would only want the audience to go and watch the film once and that will be more than enough for me. Once everybody should see the movie and say it is a good watch."

The 100 crore heroine!
When asked about the the rat race in Bollywood and her being the 100 crore heroine, Kareena says "Please keep me at number 100, as I don't want to be part of this number game, but yes, I know I deserve what I have got, and I have really worked hard for it. Today, I am proud to say that I was competing with myself to up those numbers."
On Khans- Salman Khan
In an old print interview with Umesh Jivnani, Kareena once said***,*** **"**I'm not at all a Salman fan. I don't like him; he's a very bad actor. I tell him that he hams all the time."
On Shah Rukh Khan
"I'm totally in love with him. Don't even ask me about him because if I start I won't stop talking about him for hours. Amitabh Bachchan and Shah Rukh are the only two actors I admire. There is something about Shah Rukh that is amazing. He has that very boy next door appeal which makes every girl want to take him home to her parents. His performances touch me."
On Aamir Khan
"Aamir's good, I really liked him in Hum Hain Rahi Pyar Ke and Qayamat Se Qayamat Tak, but out of all the Khans, I'm a total Shah Rukh fan."
War of the Actresses- A dig at Priyanka Chopra
"Heroine is far bigger and better than Fashion."
Looks like, Kareena still considers herself having an edge over our 'Exotic PC.'
On Ameesha Patel
Not many people know that Kareena was to debut in Kaho Naa Pyaar Hai in place of Ameesha Patel. So, no wonder she had a lot to say about her and film. When Kareena refused to go on a world tour for a stage show with Ameesha Patel, the organisers had to replace Ameesha, On which Kareena said, "If she was a bigger star than me, I would have been replaced. So I rest my case."
On Preity Zinta
In an interview to Filmfare in 2001, Kareena said, "She said something about me and I retaliated...There was probably some misunderstanding which she wasn't interested in clearing up. That's fine by me because she's nowhere in competition with me."
Waking up as another actor?
In an interview when she was asked what she would do if she woke up as the following celebs, here were here repartees:
As Deepika Padukone - "I dont think I can wake up as Deepika as I can't relate to her."
As Vidya Balan - "I'd feel Dirty!"
(Excerpts from Filmfare magazine interview, 2012)
On David Dhawan
As we all know, Kareena's elder sister Karisma, owes many of her successful films to director David Dhawan, but here is what Bebo had to say, "My sister might have made her career with him, but I don't want to. I'll dare to be different. At least for the next four years, I don't see myself working with a David Dhawan. I'm not keen on that kind of cinema. I only want to work with good makers."
On Rahul Gandhi
Once Kareena wanted to date our very own Rahul Gandhi, whereas now she exclaims at the thought, "That was long time back. I said that because we both have famous surnames. I would love to host him someday and see him as our PM but definitely I do not want to date him."
(Excerpts from an interview published in Times of India in 2009)
Cheating in Love!
"Men are gutless, they cheat on their women. But it's more frustrating when they don't own up to the woman they love. If I found out that my man's unfaithful, there'd be no tears, no shor-sharaba, I'd just slaughter him."
(Excerpts from Filmfare magazine interview)
Fat or thin, how does Saif like our Bebo?
"Saif likes me fit, but voluptuous. He doesn't like me too thin. I did go size-zero for Tashan but Saif is not complaining anymore (laughs)."
(Excerpts from Mumbai Mirror, 2011)
An insecure wife?
"Saif is free to work with whoever he wants and likes. Usually I don't even know who his co-star is because we don't discuss these things at all. I don't have any problems with any of his co-stars."
(Source - Dnaindia.com)
On Falling in Love with Saif
"We were in Ladakh to shoot Tashan. I had just broken up with Shahid Kapoor. Even though I had met Saif socially, we hadn't spoken much. When I spotted him near the hotel pool, he was tanning on a lounge chair, clad in just jeans. I told my friend, 'Oh my God... he's so hot!'"
(Excerpts from an interview given to Hello! India magazine)
Marriage is no big deal!
"What's the big deal? We got married at home. We got out of our bedroom went to the living room and signed the papers. It was the most comfortable way to get married."
(Source- As published in Filmfare)
On Live-in relationships
"I had a live-in relationship with him and we were quite open about this fact. Many people want to hide their boyfriends in public. I didn't. I have tried and tested the live-in relationship formula and now I can personally endorse it for modern Indian couples (laughs). And live-ins are a reality in modern India. I am a modern woman and I am glad I could live up to what I believe in."
(As published in Times of India)
When her wedding turned into a media circus
"Over the years of courtship and being together, we realized that there was no value left for anything. People just want to know what we're eating, which designer I'm wearing, who we've invited... Saif and I decided that we wanted to keep the purest part of our relationship sacred. We followed protocol by going out on to the terrace and waving at the media after officially registering the marriage, but they didn't need to know more than that."
Mr. Obama and Kareena
*"*Mr Obama too should be discussing this wedding. I am sure he would know that Saif and Kareena are getting married, as that is what the whole of India is talking about. It is terribly annoying and now we have given up on clarifying it. We are in a committed relationship, and when we are getting married is only for Saif and I to know."
On Kids
I might even decide not to have kids. I am just 32. And Saif already has two kids. We are not a typical Indian couple who get married just so they can have a child."
On her mother-in-law
"When I am with the family, I am treated like a daughter. Sharmilaji treats me like a daughter. We are not in the 1900s. We don't live like traditional saas bahus. We just went to the Maldives for a holiday where I wore a bikini in front of my mother-in-law. It's normal."
(Source: Filmfare)
Advice to Saif's kids
"My advice to Sarah was, you can act anytime but an opportunity to live in New York will not come again...There's so much more to life than trying to bag a film."
(As published in Filmfare magazine)
Secure and Happy Kareena
"Frankly, I have no interest in what other people are doing. I have worked very hard to be where I am. I am very ambitious but I am not competitive anymore. I would never call up a producer and say 'Please take me in your film'. I never did that even before, so why now? You know what, I am very secure today."
