Aamir and I make fantastic pair: Kareena Kapoor

Mumbai, Jan 1 (IANS) She is overwhelmed by the response to "3 Idiots" and has no regrets about the size of her role in the hit comedy drama. Kareena Kapoor says she is happy to work with Aamir Khan and pleased by the compliments she has received for their pairing.

"Everyone in one voice thinks we look good together. I think Aamir and I make a fantastic pair. I'd love to do another film with him immediately, this time I don't want share him with other pivotal characters," Kareena told IANS.

Reacting to the opinion that she hardly has anything to do in '3 Idiots', Kareena said: "Who says I've nothing to do? I'm very much part of the main drama. Would the story move forward if you remove my character?

"Everywhere I go, I am swamped by compliments for the role. The length of the role didn't matter. I'm just glad to be part of a historic happening," she said.

"When Rajkumar Hirani and Aamir asked me to be part of their film, I jumped at it. I knew the film would be special because of Raju and Aamir, and I was right. As far as our cinema is concerned, Aamir is god."

In fact, talks are on with two leading filmmakers including Mani Ratnam who is apparently set to revive his Aamir-Kareena project "Lajjo". A.R. Rahman and Gulzar have even recorded the songs.

Looking back on last year Kareena feels happy by the response to her performances in "Kurbaan" and "3 Idiots".

"Both films are very precious to me. 'Kurbaan' was intense, '3 Idiots' was more fun. In 2009, I did films with all the Khans.... Salman, Aamir and Shah Rukh - I had a song with him in 'Billu' - and of course Saif."

This time Kareena managed to ring in New Year with her family.

"I've been running around frantically promoting my film. And then I was ailing for a week. I decided I had to be well for the festive season. Christmas was a very, very special occasion for my mom and sister. But we never get to be together for the occasion.

"This time I was adamant. I made sure I took time off from work so all us girls could spend time together. My mom and I were here in Delhi to spend time with my sister and niece.

"Karisma and I don't get to spend that much time together. She has her home and husband in Delhi. My career takes me all over the place. Mom cribs we're never together. This year-end reunion was something we had promised ourselves from long before," she said. Click the Movie button below for more info:
