"I don't know why people feel that I am snooty. I am not aperson who has ever given an interview on image building. Ihave never been that person as I am very confident of what Ido. People do PR but I get completely foxed. I don't know howto do it. I stay away from the limelight as I think my workshould speak on my behalf," Kareena told PTI in an interview.
Kareena has made a mark in Bollywood by starring in filmslike Asoka, Kabhi Khushi Kabhie Gham, Chameli, Omkara,Jab We Met and Talaash.
The actress said she always nurtured the dream of becomingan actress and her parents, Randhir Kapoor and Babita,supported her decision. The actress said it was an oldthought that women in Kapoor clan were not allowed to act.
"My parents are very modern. My father is a cosmopolitanperson. He always supported the fact that I will be anactress. There is nothing else I would do rather than being anactor. I am passionate about acting. Girls in our family arenot allowed to act is quite an outdated thought to have. Theydid it till my mother but now no more," she said.
Kareena is all geared up for her upcoming romantic releaseGori Tere Pyaar Mein, where she is teaming up with ImranKhan after Ek Main Aur Ekk Tu.
