March 18, 2010, (Sawf News) - Kareena Kapoor says she 'so wanted to do' the crime thriller Race 2, but is wary of doing too many films with beau Saif Ali Khan!
"It's a conscious decision not to do too many films with Saif," she told HT in an interview. "He'll have to find another actress for Race 2. But I still run away whenever they start talking about the film. I so wanted to do it."
Not known for her humility, Kareena also said she expects to win a Padam Shri award "in five-seven years."
"With the support of my friends from the film industry and the media it could happen. I'm looking forward to the day," she elaborated.
Referring to the controversy surrounding the Padam Shri given to Saif, Kareena said:
"It was probably because at 40 he was one of the youngest Padma Shri winners this year. But I think the honor was richly deserved given the kind of work he's been doing. He doesn't do too many films but the ones he agrees to, he takes to another level. He is a spectacular actor who is always willing to stretch boundaries."
She clinched the argument with a profound - "If not Saif, who else deserves a Padma Shri?"
