When Shabana Azmi goaded her to explain, Kareena emphasized that it was a beautifully written role and that playing Rupa gave her immense scope to portray layers of vulnerability and strength. She even calls it one of the most fulfilling experiences of her career, asserting that Rupa’s impact on her career was bigger than other significant roles like Singham, (Again).

Kareena brings a personal dimension to the conversation and recalls the day she discovered she was pregnant with Jeh, her second son. She shared that Saif Ali Khan nudged her to tell Aamir about her pregnancy, which they were half-way through shooting. The response from Aamir was comforting and reassuring. “I am happy for you.”. We will wait for you and complete the film together,” he told her.

Kareena appreciated this fact that he respects and values all her decisions; it’s a proof of the kind of person Aamir is. Laal Singh Chaddha did not do good, which made Kareena disappointed, though she looks at the movie, values lessons, and experiences blessed to have had.
