Talking to Firstpost in an exclusive interview at the Red Sea Film Festival red carpet, Kareena said, “I was here last year, which was absolutely amazing. But this time, I think it’s larger, and we have so many different kind of movies from all over, which we’re good to see, and I’m very excited.

Talking about her craft and how she has evolved as an actress, she said “It’s not about box office numbers. Of course at some point in my life that was it, but I feel actors today are also looking at life beyond that.”
