It's like I don't know every French actor except for Jean or Marion but if I was an actress and got an offer in a French movie opposite some big hero there, my first reaction wouldn't be, "I don't who so and so is?" Like do you research. Or don't speak at all. Don't say things like I only watch HW movies and then act like you watch regional cinema too.
I mean I rather she be truthful than portray herself in this hypocritical light. Also, there is a sense of igorance around, which I don't quite like. It's fine if you're young, but she's a 30+ something ACTRESS. Professionally, it's your job to know what's going on your field and who the big players are. I don't think she's an idiot, but she sure comes off as one when she isn't articulate. And it's a lot harder to give Kareena the benefit of the doubt with her past history, but when then I would. I don't think her intention were wrong, she just addressed in a somewhat demeaning way. Just be respectful...that's basically my only issue.
As for the not doing non-Hindi cinema. That's her choice, don't feel like we need to tear her apart for it. Unfortunately, today's Kareena isn't the same one that took a risk and did Chameli, Dev, Yuva, Omkara, etc. I wish she did but if she doesn't want to it's fine too. But I do get the feeling that she likes to play it safe even thoug she has the talent to do much riskier roles that she has of recent.
