Birthday throwback: When Kareena Kapoor Khan said it was rather ‘Alia Bhatt’s question’, when she was asked if Deepika Padukone is her competition!

Kareena Kapoor Khan, who is currently basking in the success of her latest release ‘The Buckingham Murders’ is undoubtedly one of the most talented actresses in Hindi cinema. Bebo is well aware of her talent, and she is also extremely confident about it.
During Koffee With Karan season 8, Karan Johar asked Kareena Kapoor Khan, if Deepika Padukone is her competition. And guess what? Karan did get some exceptional reaction out of it.In the rapid-fire segment, when Karan asked Kareena about Deepika, Bebo was visibly shocked and asked if the question was meant for her. “Me? No. I think this is Alia’s question for her rapid fire, not for me,” Kareena said.
She further added, “Why am I being asked this question?”
Alia Bhatt reacted to the question by saying that Deepika Padukone is her ‘senior’. “Please… not at all. Why would she be? She’s (Deepika) my senior. There’s no competition.”
Alia Bhatt also complimented on Deepika’s on-screen presence and said, “DP’s just… like her presence… when she comes on screen you can’t help but look at her.”

Meanwhile, ‘The Buckingham Murders’ directed by Hansal Mehta is receiving rave reviews from the audiences. ETimes rated the film 3.5 out of 5, and the review reads, “The Buckingham Murders has clearly taken pointers from its celebrated predecessors. There’s this eerie silence and darkness that engulf Hansal Mehta’s police procedural-crime drama. There is no attempt to lighten up the atmosphere or dial down the paranoia. The slow burn crime drama retains the grit and unpredictability but lacks the nervous energy and tension that are integral to this genre. Though known for her commercial success, Kareena can be subtle, nuanced and understated. Glimpses of this were visible in Udta Punjab, Jaane Jaan and Talaash. A de-glam Bebo weaponises her silence amid the chaos as she seeks closure in solving the case. She hasn’t done anything like this before and this is a welcome change.”
