Kareena Kapoor Khan is of the opinion that it's important for stars to have people around who tell them the truth and certainly expects people who are close to her to tell her honest views about her films. When asked can one be honest about someone's work in the industry, Kareena told a leading daily, "I don't think so. They don't take it well. If you want the truth, they don't take it well. I'd like someone to tell me if they didn't like a particular film, at least the people I am close to, I'd expect the honest truth." She maintained that she has been relevant in her 20-year long career because she has never surrounded herself with "yes men".
"It's important for actors and stars to have people around them to show them the reality. I'm very practical when it comes to that. I've never liked having yes men around me. Probably early on when you're young, you get excited and do that but now I'm way too practical," she added.
Kareena has always been someone who is vocal about her opinions apart from being the one to break stereotypes. Hence, she believes the actors today are politically correct with "everyone praising everyone." When prodded if she would guard her opinions more if she was to debut today, Bebo quipped, "I think so. May be I was very bold, the kind of person I was for then. Today, it's the digital age, everyone has an opinion. Everyone is talking about what films they should do, what clothes are being worn. I'm happy my voice is not heard and then it was. I enjoyed that time and now I'm enjoying this time of watching everyone and hearing everyone, which is great."
She will next be seen in Raj Mehta's Good Newws, co-starring Akshay Kumar, Diljit Dosanjh and Kiara Advani. The film releases on December 27.
