Kareena Kapoor Reacts To Being One Of The Highest Paid Actresses: 'Films I Choose Are Not About Money'

Kareena Kapoor has worked successfully in Bollywood for over two decades. She is undoubtedly one of the most revered actresses. In an interview with The Week, when Kareena was asked about being one of the highest-paid actresses in the industry, she stated that money is never a priority when choosing a film. She explained that it is always the role that matters, and what impact it has on her career comes first.

During the interview, Kareena was told that she is one of a few actresses who are earning about Rs 10 to 15 crore. Reacting to this, the actress stated, “I hope so! I want that! I think it is not about my acting… that the films I choose are not about money. It has always been about the fact that if I like a role I might do the film for less. It depends on my mood, it depends on the fact what the film is, what the role is offering me. Further, Kareena stated that she feels she is at that stage of her career where she can deliver a lot. But added that if it is a high budget commercial film then “whatever you say is less!” Moreover, jokingly, the actress mentioned that she considers herself “struggling” as she is living in her husband, Saif Ali Khan’s house.

Kareena will soon be seen in Singham Again, the third installment of the Singham franchise, which also stars Ajay Devgn, Akshay Kumar, Ranveer Singh and Deepika Padukone. The actress has been part of the franchise since the second installment. Speaking about working with Ajay Devgn, she stated, “I have been so fortunate to have worked so often with Ajay and known him for so many years, even before I was an actress. He is such a solid actor, such a solid person. He is one actor where I would say that we are actually friends. We actually have fun when we work on a film together.” Singham Again is set to be released on November 1.

Meanwhile, Kareena was last seen in the critically and commercially successful film Crew, which starred Tabu, Kriti Sanon, Diljit Dosanjh and Kapil Sharma. Rajesh A Krishnan directed the film, which opens in theatres on March 29. She will also be seen in Hansal Mehta’s The Buckingham Murders, which will be released on September 13.
