MUMBAI: Sharmila Tagore loves how calm Kareena Kapoor is: ‘I’d snap at my hairdresser, but she won’t’

MUMBAI: Sharmila Tagore has spoken about what she loves about her daughter-in-law Kareena Kapoor. She also tells her that Kareena is like her daughter.

Actor Sharmila Tagore has spoken about her
daughter-in-law, actor Kareena Kapoor. She mentioned the qualities she loves
about Kareena and how she is like a daughter to her.

Speaking
to a leading daily, Sharmila said that she loves how calm Kareena is. “I
am so fond of her. What is so wonderful about her is that she is so calm. I have
seen her interact with her staff, her hairdresser and designer. I would
sometimes snap at my hairdresser if we were being summoned and I would say zara
jaldi karo (do it faster), but not Kareena,” she said. Kareena is married
to Sharmila’s son, Saif Ali Khan.

Sharmila
also tells Kareena that she is indeed like her daughter. “She is very patient
and I love that about Kareena. Her presence calms me. She doesn’t compare
herself with anybody. She does her own thing. I am very happy that she is my
daughter-in-law. She says, ‘I am like your daughter’. I say, ‘Yes you are’.”

Kareena
recently launched her book, Kareena Kapoor
Khan’s Pregnancy Bible. In it, she spoke about the advice given to her by
Sharmila. “My mother-in-law was also among the first to tell me that I had
to keep working. Her advice was to do whatever I wanted but with confidence.
She did some great work in the movies after her marriage and kids and was a
real inspiration. My mother is also a strong role model for me, and she and my
father both told me I must keep at it.”

Kareena
also sent a message for Sharmila during her chat with the Ladies Study Group
earlier this year. She said, “I always get nervous when people ask me to
talk about you. Because when it comes to talking about such an icon, such a
legend I mean what is there left to say? The whole world knows that probably my
mother-in-law, whom I’m lucky to call my mother-in-law, is one of the most
elegant one of the most graceful women to have walked the earth if I may
say.”
