She's the new Garnier girl. And she looks smashing in the ads. But compliments about her looks don't faze Kareena Kapoor.

"Garnier is about youth, style and energy. If they've chosen me, it's because they think I can make a style statement on their product. So I'm quite flattered that they chose me. Since it is an international product, I'm honored," Kareena told IANS.

Her world seems to be complete. She has just given a powerhouse performance as a doctor treating a mentally disturbed patient in Priyadarshan's "Kyun Ki".

"It wasn't a fun role like Priyan's 'Hulchal' where we all had a ball. This was far more serious, though still a lot of fun. I can't shoot with Priyan and not have fun," Kareena laughs.

She has already done three films with the prolific director.

"I've never done so many films before with any director. I've just completed my second film with Satishji ('Milenge Milenge'). And I'm doing my second film with Abbas-Mustan. But never before had I done three films with the same director in such quick succession."

Kareena plays a deaf-and-mute girl in Priyan's next.

Many people have noticed her traditional sari-clad look in "Kyun Ki".

"I dressed that way in 'Bewafaa' also. I like wearing saris. They can be really glamorous. Look how sensuous Sridevi looked in a sari in 'Chandni' and 'Mr India' or for that matter Madhuri while doing the 'dhak dhak' song in 'Beta' ... or my sister Karisma in 'Raja Hindustani'.

"I don't think being attractive is about just short skirts and high heels."

She raves about Salman khan.

"I know him as my sister's co-star. At first he was very awkward being paired with me. 'How can I be romancing you? You're Lolo's kid sister.'

"But like the two professionals that we are, we succeeded in establishing a comfort level. Now we're doing Salman's home production 'My Punjabi Nikaah' with him. We'll have loads of fun."

Coming back to "Kyun Ki", Kareena expresses some nervousness.

"Everyone wants to see Salman and me together. And they won't be disappointed. We really look good together. Like Akshay (Kumar), Salman has done many films with my sister. Now it's my turn," she says.
