Kareena Kapoor Khan surprised everyone at the trailer launch of Jaane Jaan, when she confessed how husband Saif Ali Khan asked her to pull her sock up as she was working with Vijay Varma and Jaideep Ahlawat. The Bollywood star had only praise for her two male co-stars and even teased them for their FTII background and ‘improvising’ skills. The feelings, definitely, are mutual as Vijay, in a recent interview could not stop praising Kareena and even called her a ‘secure’ actor.

The Gully Boy actor was in conversation with Shehnaaz Gill when the latter asked her about Saif’s comment. She joked how it must have felt like they had done something big to be appreciated publicly this way. With a broad smile, Vijay replied, “Yeh unka badappan hai (That’s her generosity) that she spoke about me and Jaideep this way. It was really not needed from her. To put us on a pedestal… it did feel good.”

He called Kareena Kapoor a ‘fab’ actor and said that she’s very secure. Vijay confessed that he and Jaideep both get shy when she talks highly about them. “We have seen her films, blown whistles, being enamoured by her. And when someone you like, likes your work… it’s a little embarrassing but you do enjoy the compliments,” he added.

‘Mere paseene chutt gaye’

Shehnaaz Gill mentioned how Kareena Kapoor has been a crush for everyone, and how he coped with shooting romantic scenes with her. “There is a scene, where she’s looking at me in a certain way, and she’s singing. Jaise woh scene aaya, mere toh paseene chutt gaye. Aap nahi handle kar sakte (As soon as that scene came, I was a bundle of nerves. You cannot handle it),” he said.

As Shehnaaz called Kareena ‘hot’, Vijay Varma added that she’s also ‘extremely charismatic’. He said, “She is very beautiful when she performs. She knows that adaayein hai unke paas (she has that poise and charm).”

The Dahaad actor also sheepishly admitted how he and his FTII classmate Jaideep Ahlawat have an ‘inside joke’ where they call themselves ‘Bebo ke babies’. Directed by Sujoy Ghosh, Jaane Jaan is set to drop on Netflix on September 21.
