Bollywood superstar Kareena Kapoor Khan recently showered praises on cousin Ranbir Kapoor and called him a ‘phenomenal’ actor. Also showering praises on her Ajnabee costar Bobby Deol, Bebo said that one cannot be a good star by simply having six packs.
In an interview with the Film Companion, when asked if one needs to be a ‘good actor’ to be a great ‘star’, Kareena replied, “I’m so happy that we are finally there.”
She added, “If you are great, talented, and people have liked you, connected with you, stardom will follow. It is not like, ‘Oh he has got six-pack abs, he is looking so hot, he is a big star.’ Arree please yaar! Sometimes, I feel like telling those actors, ‘Please wear your T-shirt first. I can’t even look at you right now.’”

Citing the example of Bobby Deol, who was also part of the interview, she said, “Now, if you are a good actor, you are going to survive a long time.” While Bobby said it is a tough task for an actor to find a role which can showcase his or her talent, Bebo shared, “Now Bobby is doing different characters. Now he is exploring his talent, which he always had and now finally he’s getting this opportunity. You can’t shut a good actor.”
