Kareena Kapoor Khan on Abhishek Bachchan: 'He's going to be better than Amitabh Bachchan'

Kareena Kapoor Khan and Abhishek Bachchan made their debuts together with JP Dutta’s Refugee back in 2000. The film had an ensemble cast of actors like Jackie Shroff, Suniel Shetty, Anupam Kher, Sudesh Berry, and Kulbhushan Kharbanda. A month before its release, Kareena gave an interview to Rediff and when asked about Bachchan Jr., she had something to say.

She said, “As an actor, he is better, at least I find him a thousandfold better… His father (Amitabh Bachchan) was the best, but he is going to be better than the best. I am sure about it. As a person, he is wonderful, he is one of my closest friends.”

On her first scene

It was a romantic scene between Abhishek and me. We were very comfortable from day one because he is part of my family and a close friend of mine. The chemistry was there right from the word go.

Also, in an exclusive interview with Firstpost , talking about the song Aisa Lagta Hai from the film, Kareena said, “That was the first song I ever shot for. And I still remember Master ji was on sets, Saroj Ji, and my mom told me ‘Just don’t focus on the steps, focus on Master ji’s face. She always used to give her expressions. She used to dance with her face, her eyes. I always used to stare just at her face. I am very lucky that right in my first film I got such a beautiful song. Till today, when you listen to Aisa Lagta Hai, it takes you to another time altogether.”
