She said, "Today, I am in a space where I want to relax and live my life exactly the way I want to. I started working at 17, and I'm 42 today. Today, it takes a lot to rattle me. And even if I get rattled, I quickly forget about it." Kareena also said in the interview, "I don't consider myself a star. I believe everyone is special. And I think, today everyone wants to be known as an actor, not a star. That is the new standard of cinema, as it should be"

The Laal Singh Chaddha actress continued, "However, a decade or so ago, there was a lot of competition, and people were constantly pitted against each other. And it wasn’t personal, but today, if someone tries to instigate me, I will always be on top of the situation."
