Reflecting on the iconic movie during a press event, Kareena Kapoor Khan shared that she took on the role at just 22, despite many doubting her ability to pull it off at the time.
During a press interaction at the Kareena Kapoor Khan festival, the actress recalled, "When I was 22, I did ‘Chameli’, and people doubted whether I could pull it off, but it turned out to be a success." She went on to emphasise that an actor should explore diverse roles throughout their career, using her own journey as an example, noting, "I can't do ‘Singham’-style films for my entire career."
Kareena shared, "You also crave to try something new. We can’t stay in the same film for 25 years." She explained that choosing diverse roles breathes life into an actor’s career, like a fresh gust of air that sustains and extends its vitality.
Kareena further reflected on her experience, sharing that when she took on the iconic role in ‘Chameli’ at just 22, many doubted her ability to deliver it perfectly. "For that time, the film did exceptionally well," she said. "At this stage in my career, I believe it’s important to take on different types of roles."
