What's your favorite movie featuring your favorite actor from the panel?

[Dr.SyedSaifAbbasNaqvi]

I think Kareena's best best role till date is Talaash. She was mystical unpredictable and totally breathtaking. Some of you might not agree but that's my opinion. I would love to see her doing such characters.

[diptivisen]

I've never seen Kareena so calm and poised in an interview...thoroughly enjoyed it.

[Njgt-rojd]

Watched this film last night. The story wasn't anything extraordinary but the performances oh my god. Jaideep and Kareena truly embodied those characters. ❤❤

[hunar-e-tasvir]

This was such a wholesome interview session. Loved the beginning part with Kareena. Thank you Anupama for appreciating her role in LSC. She deserved every praise for that role. Kareena has that wit & calm about her now after all these years. Can’t wait to watch her in The Buckingham Murders and eagerly waiting for Jaane Jaan tomorrow. Loved camaraderie between Kareena, Vijay & Jaideep. Such a cool cast.

[swastikpattnaik]

It was a full on Jaideep Alhawat show …. So glad he is getting the recognition he deserves .
Would love to see him & Kareena in such a character driven story again .

[sarahNnazim]

I truly appreciate that Kareena is not forcing herself to play the college going girl falling for 50+young heroes!! Movies like Suspect x are treat to the eyes.. love to see actual acting and characters living the stories..
Jaideep deserves Oscar.. for once ofcourse ❤

[benafsha]

I absolutely loved Kareena’s performance in Kurbaan, especially the climax she was terrific. So underrated.

[toptrendsboat]

I kept smiling the whole time, loved the charm between all the cast members. Loved the humbleness of Kareena❤, charm of Vijay and Jaideep. Worth the wait.

[kirtis]

How gorgeous is Kareena, absolutely love her! ❤

[Jigyasa]

23 Years and still relevant it's definitely a big thing atleast for a female actress in this country. Bebo ❤❤

[chughagchu]

Kareena is a natural-born talent, very raw who is under-appreciated (due to the glamour and bimbo tag) and she has so much more to deliver and unexploited, untapped potential. Finally, she is becoming confident in her skin and has faith.

[ishanchakraborty]

That parallel Jaideep drew between prism and actors ❤

[razarabbani]

Kareena Kapoor Khan Is Enormous Big SuperStar, She is very natural actress, You will surely admire her when you watch or hear what her co stars says about her, I mean this really is a best phase of her career, can't wait for her other movies . Always FAVOURITE ❤ .

[o.adesuwa]

I feel like I'm seeing a different Bebo here. There's an aura of humility and maturity I sense in her here. I think it's safe to say, "she's come a long way". I've always thought of her as an artist who knows her onions. Even the critically panned Heroine, she still made it work. I just thought her personal life was always looming behind her craft and not in a great way. So it was hard to take her seriously. But now, it's clear the craft really does matter to her. You can see it. Like a gratitude of sorts. Good for her.

[shazliization]

For the past 23 years you have been and you are my most favorite and will always be my most favorite actor ever Kareena !!

[khursheedrind]

Loved her audacity and her confidence as an actress to be compelling and act as natural as it gets she’s a bona field human star from performance like #Dev #Omkara #Yuva #K3G #JabWeMet #Talash #JaaneJaan #Chameli #UdtaPunjab 3:11

[vishnutalreja]

Kareena might be as arrogant as she is touted to be but the fact that she is a star is non-debatable and she is a good actor as well and I love Sujoy. Thank u Anupama for conducting this interview Jaideep and Vijay are stellar actors. Really excited to watch this. Watching it tonight

[priyankamondal]

Yuva, Omkara, Chameli, Jab We Met, Talaash, Kurbaan, Udta Punjab, Laal singh chaddha now she is coming with Jaane Jaan❤️

[vikram.thakur]

49:01 - 49:33 is by far the best part of the entire interview for me. Jaideep Ahlawat just gave the most influential advice to any aspiring actor or artist out there. And the icing on the cake is the genuine response in admiration that he got from his co-actors, director and the audience ofcourse. Both, him and Vijay Varma are truly an inspiration in today's time!
