Kareena Kapoor, for sure, knows how to make the right noises. Just when there were rumours that marriage had bogged her down a bit, she comes up with this smart interview given to an Indian newspaper suggesting her marital status hasn’t affected her professional growth. “Marriage just not comes in the way at least in my life. I’m working with actors who can work with an 18-year-old girl. But I will not do a film only because the critics will love it. I do not need to prove my talent now.”

Indeed, Kareena K. You don’t even have to say that to show that you don’t need to prove your talent, if you know what I mean.
