No make-up for Kareena in Tigmanshu’s next

When it comes to playing a character, Kareena goes out of her way to do it right. Reportedly the actress will portray the role of Begum Samru in Tigmanshu Dhulia's untitled period drama and is required to sport a de-glam look.

We heard that the actress is more than ready to shed her glamorous avatar and face the camera sans make-up. Kareena has gone de-glam in previous films such as Asoka and Dev, too.

Interestingly, Kareena is busy executing two extremely different roles: the de-glam Begum Samru, and the fashionista in Madhur Bhandarkar's film.

Bebo says she has extreme faith in her directors and is as excited about Tigmanshu's film as she is about Bhandarkar's. Dhulia's period drama was apparently first offered to Rani Mukherjee, while Madhur was keen to cast Aishwarya Rai Bachchan in 'Heroine'. Kareena now has bagged both these projects.

My mum’s totally cut off from B'wood: Kareena

What with comebacks being the in thing in Kareena Kapoor's family with dad Randhir Kapoor (Housefull 2) and sister Karisma Kapur (Dangerous Ishhq) doing so, we wondered if mum Babita Kapoor might be planning one too and who better to ask than Bebo? 

Beginning with a horrified "Oh God!" she explained, "My mum is totally cut off from Bollywood. She goes to the cinema only as part of the audience. She has no connection to it and she chooses to keep it that way, she's very happy in her own world. My mum gave up acting for her married life and then gave up her entire life for her children. She is not the kind of person to want to turn the clock back and do anything. And no, I don't hanker for her to play my mother onscreen either. I am happy having her play my mother offscreen." For all those fondly hoping to see this branch of the Kapoor family together, like Rishi Kaoor-Neetu Singh's delightful Do Dooni Chaar, this is bad news.
