Actor Kareena Kapoor Khan, who is enjoying 23 years of a career in Bollywood, says she has undergone a number of changes. Kareena said that she does not regret the decisions she made in the past and added that a decade ago, there was a lot of competition in the film industry.
“I always look back and smile, because I am proud of my journey. I don’t have time for regrets,” She told Harper’s Bazaar India.
The actor, who made her debut in 2000, said that she has learnt from her mistakes and revealed that she is a ‘completely different person’ now. She said, “I am happy that I have evolved as a person. It is important, both professionally and personally.”
Talking about the big change, Kareena said that she does not have the energy to waste time on a lot of things. “In my late teens… even 20s for that matter, I was too caught up with so much going on in my life. But then the transition happened. And, today, I am in a space where I want to relax and live my life exactly the way I want to.”
When she was younger, the actor said that she didn’t care about the things she was doing or what the consequences would be. However, she added that she does not regret that part of her life. “Today, I am more grounded. However, a decade or so ago, there was a lot of competition, and people were constantly pitted against each other. And it wasn’t personal, but today, if someone tries to instigate me, I will always be on the top of the situation,” she added.
The actor also discussed striking a work-life balance and how she had to make some significant changes to do it. “I don’t feel like leaving my kids alone or because I don’t want to be seen at some awards show. I want to be able to choose—because I’d rather sit at home with my husband and watch a show or have a glass of wine. That’s one of the biggest changes I have gone through, personally. It is up to me to strike a work-life balance.”
