At 23, she is one of the most sought-after actresses in Hindi cinema. She has worked with almost every top director in the industry, be it Karan Johar, Subhash Ghai, Sooraj R Barjatya and, more recently, Mani Ratnam.
Right now, Kareena Kapoor's off-screen affair with budding hero Shahid Kapur seems to be hogging the headlines than her films. Kareena, for her part, is nonchalant. This is her take on the whole affair:
Rumours don't bother me. It is very early to put a name to our relationship. But I can say that my relationship with Shahid is a friendship that has a long way to go.
If I am upset, I can call him at 12.30 am and say I have had a bad day, I had a bad scene. You know, things like that. I can talk to him because he is also an actor. He can identify with me.
I cannot think more than that about him because I have so many films up for release. I would be a fool to think of anything else now. I am very strong-headed, someone who is sure and who knows what she wants. And I have only two things constant in my life: my family -- my mother and my sister -- and my career. Barring these two, everything else can change.
But yes, Shahid is like a college-going young guy, unlike my other senior actors. I think his age worked for me -- he is 23 and unlike any other male friend whom

I can talk to easily and freely. I like meeting him because I can be normal with him.
