‘No Kissing Policy’ for Arjun Kapoor says Kareena Kapoor Khan!

There is nothing better than a person progressing and accepting that he/she isn’t the person they were before. Post their marriage in 2012, Saif Ali Khan and Kareena Kapoor went on record to say they both had decided to include a no-kissing clause in their contracts. Cut to 2016 and the trailer of Kareena’s next film shows her locking lips with her co-star Arjun Kapoor.The actress explains why she decided to junk her no-smooch policy. “I think too much fuss is being made out of a non-issue. It’s being a little silly to keep on with the kissing bit when there’s much else to talk about. Everybody is gossiping so much about it that now I want to clear all doubts. When we make certain statements we may mean something but a few years later down the line, as we grow older, wiser and more mature, our mindset, views and outlook on life changes too. So, if we said something then, we believed in it, today that has changed. When Saif and I got married there was a slight possessiveness and we decided let’s not do some things on screen now that we are married and yes, kissing was one of them. That happens, I think, with most newly married couple.”, she says. 'Let's be mature enough and stop being out-dated' Bebo adds that she and Saif are in a secure place and these things don’t matter as much as they did back then, “A little while ago, when we both sat down as actors and discussed this, we realised the fact that this (kissing restriction) was a bit archaic and our thinking was a bit outdated. It’s old-fashioned no, these days, to say I will do that or won’t do that. So Saif and I decided that we should do things which the character demands. We are actors and we have to go with the flow of the script. Of course, unnecessarily, random kissing which is not required, we won’t do.” ‘If character demands, then why not!’ When asked, Was Saif aware of the kissing scenes in her next release? She smiles, “I told Saif that Arjun and I are playing husband and wife, so he was aware that there will be kissing scenes.” In fact, he told me that as the film is about a husband and wife, I should not be stupid and put down restrictions. If you are doing the role and putting everything into it, then do it with complete faith and conviction and be true to your director.” Even She has no problems with Saif kissing on screen, too. “Yes of course, if it’s really required.” ‘Love supersedes all’ Saif didn’t have a release last year while she had Bajrangi Bhaijaan. She has another release next month, where she is playing a working wife while Arjun plays the role of house husband. Ironic, no? “In today’s times, I don’t think it matters if I am working and Saif’s at home or vice versa. If Saif wanted to take one year off and chill, I would love to be the sole bread-earner and support him. So yes, I am totally game for that. In fact, that way I will probably get more time to be with him. Like this year, we have both been so busy with our films that we have hardly had time to meet. There are times that we have to juggle our dates to meet.” "In a relationship, there is no place for ego", she explains, “I believe that love supersedes all. That’s the most important thing. Nothing else matters. No amount of money can buy happiness. That is something people should understand. It’s not about how much money one is earning and who is bringing it in. ”
