Kareena Kapoor Khan recently joined actors like Vicky Kaushal, Shabana Azmi, Rajkummar Rao, and Anna Ben for a roundtable discussion with The Hollywood Reporter India. During the candid conversation, Kareena revisited the impact of Laal Singh Chaddha on her and her co-star Aamir Khan, sharing that the superstar was deeply affected by the film’s box office failure.
The host brought up Kareena’s past statement about reaching out to Aamir Khan and director Advait Chandan after the film underperformed. Reflecting on that time, Kareena said she is the “most proudest” that they made the movie, which she described as “beautiful and honest.” Praising Aamir, whom she called a “stalwart and legend,” she revealed, “Of course, he was shattered.”
Kareena recounted meeting Aamir at an event where he jokingly said to her, “Picture nahi chali humari na, tu baat toh karegi na mujhse?” (Our movie didn’t work. You will still talk to me, right?). While acknowledging his disappointment, Kareena expressed gratitude for her role in the film. “I feel what Rupa has done more for me than what a Singham (Again) can do,” she remarked.
When Shabana Azmi asked her to elaborate, Kareena described her character Rupa as beautifully written by Advait Chandan, allowing her to delve deeper into the role. Unlike commercial blockbusters, Laal Singh Chaddha was made “with all heart,” she explained. “Everybody gave it their best, and we didn’t think it would hit Rs 500 crore. It was about the honesty of the story.”
Kareena also shared a personal anecdote about discovering her pregnancy with her second son, Jeh, during the film’s production. They were 60 percent through filming when she revealed the news to Aamir. Encouraged by Saif Ali Khan to share it, Kareena was overwhelmed by Aamir’s supportive response. He assured her, “I’m happy for you. We’ll wait for you, and we’ll finish the movie together.”
This moment reaffirmed her faith in the industry. “It made me realise there are people who truly value you and your decisions,” Kareena said.
