Highlights from Aamir Khan and Kareena Kapoor Khan’s Koffee With Karan episode.

1. Kareena was not the first choice to play Rupa in Laal Singh Chaddha

When KJo asked Aamir about Kareena not being the first choice to play Rupa in the film, the latter replied, “No because we were actually thinking about age group. Both the characters have a journey from 18 to 50 years of life. Initially we thought the lesser the de-aging the better-so only I should de-age. We were looking at the age group of 25. So that the actress can look younger and older.”

2. Kareena Kapoor Khan revealed she did a screen test for the role

Kareena revealed that Aamir asked her to do a screen test for the role in the film. “They brought a camera to my office. They made me enact the scene because he (Aamir) was like, ‘I am not confident,’” she said. When KJo asked if screen testing was an ego issue, Bebo replied, “No, it was not an ego it was just I’d never done it before, so I was nervous.”

3. Aamir under pressure from Laal Singh Chaddha’s box office

The 11th of August will see the release of Aamir’s movie, which will compete with Akshay Kumar’s Raksha Bandhan. When asked if he was anxious, Aamir responded that while he was confident in the movie they created, he was much more so concerned about the audience’s response. Given that so many people have worked so hard on it, Aamir declared that if Laal Singh Chaddha does not succeed, he will be “heartbroken.”

Talking about the equation he shares with his ex-wives, the actor said, “I have the highest regard and respect for both of them. Hum log hamesha parivaar he rahenge (We will always be a family).
