The high princess of Bollywood, Kareena Kapoor, talked of her fitness mantra while launching an initiative by a beauty product brand, which involves the task of training 10,000 Beauty advisers of leading cosmetic stores about the finer aspects of skin care. Carrying loads of style and attitude, Kareena looked ravishing in a red top and skin tight jeans that did justice to her hip-toned figure. The actress gave exclusive bytes to Shivangi Singh and Tanu Talwar of Spicezee.com, while interacting with media on a variety of subjects. Q: What is your fitness regime, your skin care mantra? Kareena: I am a positive person and that keeps me going. I am a vegetarian and refrain from eating non vegetarian food. For fitness, I swear by Yoga. It’s the perfect way of life. I keep away from those air conditioned gyms. For skin, I drink a lot of water and try to keep away from the sun. I practice Yoga religiously everyday and the day I don’t do it, I feel as if I have missed something important. Q: What holds more importance: Inner or outer beauty in Bollywood? Kareena: In today’s times, stars are always under arc-lights, so you have to look good. In Bollywood, it is more of outer beauty that counts. But, I personally try to balance both inner as well as outer beauty. Q: How does it feel to be size-zero youth icon? Kareena: I am not size-zero, I am pretty well-rounded. I take the youth icon tag as a complement and it is a big responsibility because it’s the youth that take the country ahead. I am trying to do my best as a youth icon. I try to tell the youth to practice yoga for a healthy life. Giving one hour a day to yoga is not much. Q: Who is your inspiration and king of Bollywood - Akshay, Shah Rukh or Aamir? Kareena: I pick up the best from the person I work with. All three are wonderful. Kings and queens are only on cards, not in Bollywood. Q: Please tell us about your upcoming film with Renzil D’Silva? Is there a lip-lock scene with Saif? Kareena: It is too early to talk about the film. Q: Are you trying to change your image after Tashan debacle? Kareena: I always do roles that I believe in. Q: How was it working with international stars in ‘Kambakht Ishq’? What about Hollywood’s call? Kareena: It’s an honour to work with Hollywood stars but Sylvester Stallone is there only for one scene or so. As for Hollywood ventures, I am not interested at present. Q: How about your Valentine’s Day celebration? Kareena: I was waiting for this question. The day doesn’t mean much to me and I have work on my mind as of now. Q: What about your marriage plans? Kareena: Not in a mood to marry for another five years. Q: What kind of men, do you like? What about tall, dark and handsome men? Kareena: I don’t like men who ‘maro style’. I like those who are more real and natural. I already have a tall, dark and handsome man in my life about whom the world knows. Q: But Saif is not dark? Kareena: He is what he is and that matters. Q: Why are Hindi films still not heroine oriented? It’s the hero, who walks away with the cake. Kareena: I don’t think it’s like that. It depends on the heroine. My ‘Jab We Met’ was a female oriented film. Q: Your take on Slumdog Millionaire nomination in Oscars? Kareena: I think it is wonderful. I am very happy and glad, feel proud that Indian films are going places. I love AR Rahman and hope the film gets an Oscar. Q: With talks of six-packs doing the rounds in Bollywood, which actor has the best body? Kareena: I would like to give credit to all stars for their great bodies because a lot of work goes into it. They all look so nice and sexy. Also a good actor always changes his look according to the demands of the script. Q: You have been sporting various looks in films. Which is your favourite look till date? Kareena: My character Geet from ‘Jab We Met’ is closest to the real me. I enjoyed my ‘Tashan’ look also. Q: How was it working with Aamir in ‘Three Idiots’? Kareena: I am very excited to work with Aamir and learn from him and Rajkumar Hirani. Q: Your views on Delhi? Kareena: I have always had a close connection with Delhi because I always passed the capital on my way to school in Dehra Dun. Even now, I will shoot my film with Saif at various places in Delhi including Jama Masjid and Humayun’s Tomb. Q: Who is your favourite actress? And what do you think of another prominent actress - Katrina Kaif? Kareena: Kajol and Karisma are my favourite actresses. I don’t talk about other actresses in my press conferences.
