Kareena Kapoor to pay tribute to Shammi Kapoor

Kareena Kapoor will pay a tribute to her late grand uncle Shammi Kapoor by performing on all his favourite numbers from his movies.
She will get jiggy at an awards event to be held later this month. Ranbir Kapoor had also paid tribute in a similar manner at the recent A R Rahman show for his upcoming film. Cousins think alike.

Kareena Kapoor: 'I just want to be a movie star'

Kareena Kapoor has claimed that her parents did not oppose her appearing in Bollywood films.

The star is part of a dynasty of actors, including her sister Karisma and her first cousin Ranbir Kapoor.

She told the Hindustan Times: "I want to set the record straight. Because it was made out to be that my father was very against it. Yes, the Kapoor khandaan (family) girls never really joined films. But my father is extremely relaxed.

"I don't think he's ever told Karisma or me to not join movies. He says, 'If you want to go out there, you have to go out there and battle it out yourself.'"



Kapoor continued: "I have worked in some great and some really horrible films. But he's never questioned me. He said, 'Do what you want, but just don't make me cringe.'"

The Ra.One star added: "Somewhere I see a twinkle in my father's eye every time I call him to see a film or if he congratulates me for Madame Tussauds or when he calls me up to tell me he's happy for Bodyguard. So obviously I've done him proud."

In September, Kapoor said her success in films is down to luck rather than family connections.

Kareena unveiled at Tussauds

Bollywood actress Kareena Kapoor Thursday unveiled her wax statue at the Madame Tussauds museum in Blackpool, Britain.
"It is an honour and a privilege for me to have my own wax figure at Madame Tussauds Blackpool and even more so to launch a global Bollywood exhibition. This is a moment of pride for the Indian cinema," Kareena said in a statement.

It took four months to create the wax statue, which cost 150,000 pounds.

"The figure looks incredible and is so life-like. I had to do a double take when I saw myself - they have really done a superb job at capturing my essence," she added.

The unveiling of Kareena's wax figure also flagged off a global exhibition, where the statues of Bollywood stars will be taken to six major cities around the world to be exhibited, before they are brought back to Blackpool in January next year.

Shah Rukh Khan, Hrithik Roshan, Amitabh Bachchan and Aishwarya Rai too have their wax figures in Tussauds'.(Mid-Day)
