Kareena Kapoor Khan recently opened up about the difficulties faced by a female actor in a male-dominated film industry. She said that it is ‘scary’ to reinvent yourself while trying to sustain in the industry.

In an interview with The Times of India, Kareena said, “At 17-18, it was all about wanting to be in every film. If you sustain for a decade, it's about reinvention, which is scary in an industry which is male-dominated. Over the years, apart from me, there have been other brave actresses too who have taken big strides. Every five years, I ask myself, what new can I do now? It's not just about being a part of successful films but leaving behind a legacy.”

She added, “I come from a family where I have been challenged because they all are such amazing actors, but I want to leave my mark somewhere. Every 10 years, there is someone new, so how am I going to last? Sustaining yourself is tougher, so I like to make varied choices, be it Buckingham Murders, Singham, Crew, or Jaane Jaan, which dropped on a streaming platform.”

The actor was last seen in Hansal Mehta’s mystery-thriller The Buckingham Murders. She will be seen next in Rohit Shetty’s Singham Again.
