Kareena Kapoor recently completed 25 years in the Indian film industry. The actor, in an interview with Times of India, reflected on the challenges faced by a female actor in a male-dominated industry. Kareena said that it is ‘tougher’ to ‘sustain’ while reinventing yourself in Bollywood. 

Kareena Kapoor on reinventing herself

Kareena, while speaking about the longevity in her career stated that, “At 17-18, it was all about wanting to be in every film. If you sustain for a decade, it's about reinvention, which is scary in an industry which is male-dominated. Over the years, apart from me, there have been other brave actresses too who have taken big strides. Every five years, I ask myself, what new can I do now? It's not just about being a part of successful films but leaving behind a legacy.”

She further said, “I come from a family (the Kapoors) where I have been challenged because they all are such amazing actors, but I want to leave my mark somewhere. Every 10 years, there is someone new, so how am I going to last? Sustaining yourself is tougher, so I like to make varied choices, be it Buckingham Murders, Singham, Crew, or Jaane Jaan, which dropped on a streaming platform. I feel it would have done great on the big screen, too.”
