Mumbai: Despite the fact that a box office success has been eluding her for a long time, actress Kareena Kapoor has managed to carve her own niche in Bollywood.
Kareena says she has been concentrating on her acting career and has stopped attending Bollywood parties.
The popular actress says boyfriend Shahid Kapur was the key to her making some drastic changes in her lifestyle, which included developing a positive attitude to life and work.
Kareena said in an interview published in the Filmfare magazine that she begins every day by giving herself a “pep talk.”
“I've banished negativity from my life, from my heart. I'm just concentrating on my work and I've dropped out of the party scene,” Kareena said.
She said Shahid has been a great influence on her. "He's taught me a lot," said Kareena. "For starters he tempered me down."
The couple has recently begun speaking to the media about their two-year relationship and is frequently seen together in publicity campaigns and movie premieres.
In the past, Kareena had sometimes poked fun at her co-stars and made derisive remarks about them, something she says she will never repeat. She said Shahid taught her not to "open my mouth unnecessarily. I used to do that a lot. I've made mistakes but I've also learned from them."
She now prefers to concentrate on movie projects like 36 China Town, a thriller movie to be released soon. She is also working in a Bollywood version of Shakespeare's Othello with actor Hrithik Roshan in first-time director Zoya Akhtar's new movie.
"I have good movies on hand. And finally I'm content with myself. I've reached a comfort level with myself," Kareena said.
