Kareena Kapoor Khan: I don’t want to conquer the world

While Bollywood actresses such as Priyanka Chopra and Deepika Padukone are making a splash in Hollywood, Kareena Kapoor Khan claims she has no such ambitions.

“My priorities are very different. The kind of work that these girls have put in, you need to have that kind of dedication of wanting to achieve so much and do it so wonderfully. I don’t want to conquer the world but I don’t mind having a little place of my own. It’s as simple as that,” said Kapoor Khan.

Chopra came into the limelight with her TV show Quantico and is in the news for her much-anticipated debut film Baywatch. Padukone will be making her Hollywood debut with xXx: The Return of Xander Cage.

Kapoor Khan shared her views about her life as a star, social causes she’s associated with and her regrets in an interview by writer Naman Ramachandran for the July 2016 issue of Vogue India. It will be out on the stands on July 2, read a statement.

Kapoor Khan, who is married to actor Saif Ali Khan, is also a Unicef ambassador.

“Spreading the word about causes is nice but talking about my personal charity is something I don’t like to do. But of course, I am a celebrity advocate for Unicef and we have worked closely over the last four years for the education of the girl child in India. That is something I am passionate about because education is something I believe in completely,” the Jab We Met actress said.

The actress shared that she still regrets ditching college for films.

“I couldn’t complete my education. I kind of rushed into films, so I think that’s a sensitive part of my life and I always regret I never got to go to college,” she said.

Besides reading film scripts, there is something else that is keeping Kapoor Khan occupied these days: a wellness blog in association with nutritionist Rujuta Diwekar, author of Don’t Lose Your Mind, Lose Your Weight.

“We are thinking about a blog that addresses women and their problems in terms of food and exercise, pregnancy, menopause… So many different topics,” she said.

The actress is currently riding high on the success of her latest release Udta Punjab.

So where does Kapoor Khan see herself a decade down the line?

“Hopefully giving another interview, making some sense, working all my life. I think we are in the habit of aping the West a lot. And the West has amazing actors who are married and with children. It has never stopped them. I think we are getting there,” she said.
