Kareena Kapoor Khan completes 20 years in Bollywood this year. The actress over her illustrious career in cinema has given numerous masterpieces and characters to cherish. One of them is none other than Poo from Karan Johar's Kabhi Khushi Kabhie Gham. As Poo aka Pooja, Kareena injected life into the glamourous character and to date, is remembered for the same. Talking about the iconic role, Kareena, during a recent interview with an international news channel, told that there won't be anyone like Poo in Bollywood. The actress said that the youth continues connecting to the character and despite a brief role, people resonate with her.
"It's so strange that after 20 years, it's actually still coming back in a way, in 2020, because- like you said- it's pop culture. It's a character that somehow, I don't know how, it just connected with the youth then and it connects with the youth now. If I really can say, actresses will always do different kinds of parts but you've never seen a character like Poo. You've never seen somebody who is so blasé and just speaks her mind," Kareena told.
Speaking of feeling stupid while playing Poo, Kareena said that Karan assured that she will be owning the film with the character. "Yeah, I was like, Karan what are you making me do. To give it to Karan, actually, he was like 'Listen I am telling you, you have the smallest role in this film, you are going to walk away with it'," Kareena added.
Talking the Poo mania ahead, PeepingMoon.com informed its readers in an exclusive piece dated May 11, 2019, that Karan is planning a spin-off web series focusing on the character's life in detail. Kareena, in an interview with a leading daily later, clarified that she is in talks with Karan and will announce when things are finalised.
