In a new interview with an Indian media outlet, Kareena Kapoor admitted that it was never easy reinventing herself in an industry as male-dominated as Bollywood, adding that it was actually ‘scary’.
“At 17-18, it was all about wanting to be in every film. If you sustain for a decade, it’s about reinvention, which is scary in a male-dominated industry,” she said.
The ‘Crew’ star continued, “Over the years, apart from me, there have been other brave actresses too who have taken big strides. Every five years, I ask myself, what new can I do now?”
“It’s not just about being a part of successful films but leaving behind a legacy. I come from a family (Kapoor) where I have been challenged because they all are such amazing actors, but I want to leave my mark somewhere. Every 10 years, there is someone new, so how am I going to last? Sustaining yourself is tougher, so I like to make varied choices,” she explained. “Be it Buckingham Murders, Singham, Crew, or Jaane Jaan.”
