00:00Kareena Kapoor Khan and Arjun Kapoor are currently in Dubai shooting a portion of their new film
00:14Ki and Ka, a romantic comedy centered on the gender roles inherent in an Indian marriage.
00:19The duo, along with award-winning director R. Belki, have taken some time out from their
00:24hectic filming schedule to share with fans what the film is about and what it is like
00:28to tackle this type of socially relevant topic.
00:58It's something that I genuinely love and care about in Arjun, as a friend, as a family.
01:04And now to actually romance him and play my husband, it was a little unnerving.
01:10But like I said, the thing that, you know, I think this generation of actors, I think
01:16they also switch on and switch off and I think they do it so well.
01:19He's matured into, I think, a very intense actor because I think that's his personality
01:25or he likes to come across as very intense.
01:28But I think it's his work to prevent all the violence.
01:31The film deals with exactly what we all are aware of.
01:34It's just we've underlined and highlighted it in a particular way where we will question
01:39certain things in the course of the film.
01:40Hopefully, we will find answers and hopefully, the intelligent audience will stop looking
01:46at it in a way of, women should do this and men should do this.
01:49It's about these people who are doing what must enjoy themselves and must be passionate
01:53and fulfil their responsibilities as well as enjoy working.
01:56Me and Karishma also have been brought up with the thing that we look at ourselves as
02:01working women, independent.
02:05Even now when I'm married, that's a separate part of me.
02:09I don't carry that with me when I'm working.
02:12You know, the fact is that my own husband looks up to me and respects me because I'm
02:18a working angel and we've had conversations that probably he's even told me that I don't
02:22even know when you're not working, how you will be because he's known me as being this
02:30girl who's used to working 12-14 hours a day.
02:33I just want to tell you, this is the first time I've come outside India to do the film.
02:37This is my seventh film and forever and ever, Dubai shall remain my most favourite city.
02:42I've got to tell you, it's a pleasure for me.
02:46I will always continue to balance working with the Ghans in very, very big-budget commercial
02:53films at the same time as trying to do nice, interesting small movies or roles that I like.
03:00So, I don't understand when you say you only want to do heroic films because I'm very
03:08proud to be a strong commercial actress.
