i Spy: ‘Kareena is boring’

Published June 28, 2015

Contrary to what many people think, Salman Khan does know how to plug a film. But he does that in the most unfussy of ways. These days the actor is promoting his upcoming movie Bajrangi Bhaijaan directed by Kabir Khan.

The gorgeous Kareena Kapoor is playing the female lead in the film. Recently the actor agreed to do an interview with a newspaper to advertise the film. When asked how it was working with Kareena K, he replied, “She is boring. But I like boring.” The answer immediately made it to the headlines. Little did the media hounds know that it’s Sallu mian’s way of giving the right kind of fillip to his forthcoming projects. Now hordes of people are going to watch Bajrangi Bhaijaan only to see if Kareena K is boring or not. And she is not. Ask Saif Ali Khan.
