\'My weight has been a national issue\'

It has been 10 years since Kareena Kapoor joined the film industry. From playing a shy girl helplessly in love in Refugee, the actress has grown into a stronger woman, fighting for a place in her man\'s life in We Are Family.

Kareena has definitely changed since her last outing with Kajol in Kabhi Khushi Kabhie Gham. And it shows in the promos of their new film together, scheduled to release next month.



We Are Family, which has also been produced by Karan Johar\'s Dharma Productions like K3G, will be Bebo\'s 40th film. It has been directed by first timer Siddharth Malhotra and co-stars Arjun Rampal.



Kareena talks to Patcy N about the film, Kajol, and of course, beau Saif Ali Khan.



How challenging was this film for you since it is a remake of Hollywood film Stepmom, where your character was played by Julia Roberts? And also, you have to share screen space with the scene-stealer Kajol.



I had seen Stepmom years ago. I didn\'t want to see it again after signing We Are Family, as I did not want to copy Julia Roberts. I wanted to do it in my style.



It\'s an honour that Karan and Siddharth thought of taking me to play Julia Roberts\' role. She\'s one of the finest actresses after Meryl Streep. So it was a challenge. But I\'ve got lots of SMSes and calls saying that they liked the film.



Kajol and you played sisters in K3G. Now, you\'re playing the other woman.



We didn\'t have too many scenes together in K3G. But in this film, we are both on the same page, living under the same roof. Both of us have powerful roles. In fact, I have a more complicated part. It is very easy to be emotional and win people over. But my role is of the other woman, so it is difficult to win people\'s sympathy. I hope I have achieved that. I want people to say both actresses were spectacular.
