Kareena Kapoor Khan Reveals How Playing A Role Like Poo In K3G Was Not Easy. But It Looked So Easy!

I thought, and this was before I actually jumped into the entertainment and lifestyle space myself, acting was one of the most easiest and most fun jobs to have. You see, much like every other Indian who has this ‘I can do it better’ feeling, looking at Bollywood movies with all that over-the-top acting and mediocre dancing skills, I  thought that I would make for a fabulous and convincing actress if given the chance. And then years later, when the time came to actually stand in front of the camera for a video I was supposed to do, I realised it isn’t easy. And suddenly, the respect I had for some of my favorite actresses grew manifold, for I knew that the characters I have grown up watching were actually a result of a lot of hard work.

Just like the role of Poo from Kabhi Khushi Kabhi Gham. The character that has now become iconic in Hindi cinema and a benchmark for girls everywhere, was played by the Good Newwz actress Kareena Kapoor Khan and till date we don’t think anyone else could’ve done justice to the role like she did. And while the character reminded us of all things pink, perfect and precious, with an attitude and self confidence that was contagious, and it would seem like such a role would be easy, turns out it wasn’t so at all!

In a recent interview, Kareena Kapoor Khan shared how playing such an OTT role didn’t come easy to her. She said, “I think it was a difficult character to play. To be that over the top kind of character and be so convincing… I think the easiest thing is to cry and be emotional but to make people laugh and to kind of, you know, being a mainstream actor and play a character that has to be so over the top but so lovable is I think very difficult.”

And listening to her, we can’t help but agree. The moment the camera comes in front of your face, a lot of emotions surface, and you can become extremely conscious. And in that moment, to take up a role that you know is different, quirky and all too extra, can not be easy. But clearly, Bebo proved her acting prowess and gave us a role we quote ever so often and look up to for a lifetime!

Furthermore, the actress was also questioned whether she’d ever want to join Hollywood to which she replied, “I still don’t have that gumption…You need a lot of determination, a lot of gumption, a lot of grit and a lot of that. I have it but I don’t have that much. Also, my priorities in my life are completely different. I am at different stage and I don’t have that time and mindset to be so out there. It’s never been a thought.”

On the professional front, Kareena Kapoor shall be next seen alongside of Irfan Khan in the movie Angrezi medium. And while we wait to see her on the silver screen, she has officially made her debut on the social media app Instagram and we can’t wait to see how she decides to make use of it!
