She won several hearts with her geeky looks and style in Rajkumar Hirani’s ‘3 Idiots’. After watching this cheshmi beauty in the film, one would have truly forgotten her serious performance in ‘Kurbaan’.

Although Kareena wouldn’t have enjoyed the same full-length role as the three heroes in Raju’s films, the gal has no qualms about. For she says, “I'd really rather do a shorter role than those glamorous roles and flit in and out of scenes.” The actress is in fact hungry for meaty roles, which are already in her kitty for this year. One can really look forward to see new facets of this hottie in her forthcoming releases.

Karan Johar’s ‘Stepmom’, Anubhav Sinha's ‘Ra. One’ and Saif Ali Khan's production ‘Agent Vinod’ – Kareena's character in each of these three is not only quite different from the other, but also her co-stars are just fabulous.

She loves her role in Kajol-Arjun Rampal ‘Stepmom’ for she said that it has lot of shades which was more difficult than 'Dev', 'Chameli' and 'Omkara'. ‘Ra. One’ brings Bebo back to her ‘Ashoka’ hero Shahrukh Khan as his wife and the actress clarifies about her role in it. Says Kareena, “My character is not what people are assuming it to be. I don't play a virtual babe who fights and kicks. It is a comic character; she's the fun and entertainment value in the film.”

And how can the bubbly lady keep low when it comes to ‘Agent Vinod’ which is bannered under her beau Saif’s banner Illuminati Films. The thriller is directed by Shriram Raghavan for which Kareena is said to be very excited and all ready for it to begin. Here too Kareena goes on to prove the media’s assumptions wrong about her character in the film. She stated that it is not an action role as is being reported and in fact she features as a Pakistani CIA agent.

One may have inhibits about Saif and Kareena pairing here, but the actress is not at all concerned about it. According to her, the scripts are supreme while the actors are mere puppets. “Just for the record, Shahid and I had five flops in a row before we hit it with Jab We Met,” justified Kareena and drove her context that jodis shouldn’t matter.

Well, this sizzler surely knows how to capture hearts and words as well…
