Biggest Controversies:
Relationship with Shahid Kapoor: Kareena Kapoor’s relationship with Shahid Kapoor (which began in 2004) was the focus of media glare, with the couple making headlines for their break-up in 2007. The reason for their break-up is still unknown, as the two prefer not to speak about it in public. However, when she married Saif Ali Khan in 2012, Shahid wished the couple a happy married life.
Size zero: Kareena created headlines when she lost weight for the 2007 film Tashan and was tagged as ‘size zero’. She is also known for making comments such as, “Fat is not sexy.”
Comments against Sanjay Leela Bhansali: While Sanjay Leela Bhansali was casting for Devdas, he screen-tested Kareena Kapoor but (according to him) maintained that this was not confirmation that she was going to be in the film. After he picked Aishwarya Rai for the role, Kareena made comments saying that Bhansali is a confused director who doesn’t stand by his words, and also allegedly said that SLB didn’t know how to make films. To that, Bhansali said, “I told her that if I have a suitable role for her, I’ll cast her. Till then, I’ll brush up on film-making.”
Juicy Offscreen Quotes:
“My film-makers have accepted me. They know I’m in a league of my own. Madhuri Dixit gave her first hit after nine years. Sridevi never had a historical hit. And yet they were the top actresses because they were immensely talented. The same goes for me too.”
“I don’t want to be mediocre in hit films. I’d rather be brilliant in flop movies.”
“If Amisha [Patel]’s so confident of her talent then why is she screaming about her hits? Okay so I have given only flops. But why am I still being paid more than her?”
