Further in the interview, Kareena Kapoor Khan mentioned that her role in Veere Di Wedding would not have been picked up by many female actors as it talks about female satisfaction and giving strong voices to women in life. The idea of going against the norms is a big ordeal for many actors. Kareena Kapoor Khan, however, believes that her roles in films like Good Newwz and Udta Punjab give voice to females. According to Kareena’s interview, her choices do not stick to eye-candy roles. She believes in funny as well as serious roles.
