She even attempts a streetwalker's walk and apes her mannerisms, but it ends up looking more than a little caricaturish. ![]() She smokes cigarettes with ease and does not flinch while using battle-hardened jargon of the streets. ![]() She wears a blue flowered, katori-cut blouse that is appropriately short and hints at cleavage.Ī bright red sari (which reportedly cost Rs 200) is wrapped alluringly low around her slender waist the pallu does a regular free-fall. Her short nails are hidden under badly painted, garish nail polish. Her hair is held back with a tasteless, gold-coloured, plastic studded clip. She adorns herself with cheap jewellery (the kind you can buy off vendors in a Mumbai local train) and a glittering bindi. You have to give Kareena points for trying though. She sounds more like a teenager playacting than a brash, hardened streetwalker. When Kareena Kapoor pouts these words through her bright red lips, it almost makes you smile. " Bolo na saab, kya irada hai? Chalna hai kya (What do you say, saab? Wanna come)?"
