MUMBAI:
While Bollywood stars such as Priyanka Chopra and Deepika Padukone are making waves in Hollywood, their contemporary Kareena Kapoor-Khan seems to have no such ambitions.

The Jab We Met actor recently said that she is not interested in globetrotting with her talent and is happy with her Bollywood career. “My priorities are very different,” she shared. “The kind of work that these girls have put in, you need to have that kind of dedication of wanting to achieve so much and do it so wonderfully. I don’t want to conquer the world but I don’t mind having a little place of my own. It’s as simple as that.”

After creating waves with her musical skills, Priyanka gained international attention with American TV show Quantico and she is currently in the news for her highly anticipated debut Hollywood film Baywatch. Deepika on the other hand, will be making an appearance alongside Vin Diesel in the upcoming xXx: The Return of Xander Cage.

Kareena, who is married to actor Saif Ali Khan, is a UN ambassador but prefers to do all her social work quietly. “Spreading the word about causes is nice but talking about my personal charity is something I don’t like to do. But of course, I am a celebrity advocate for Unicef and we have worked closely over the last four years for the education of the girl child in India. That is something I am passionate about because education is something I believe in,” said the actor who was recently seen in the controversial Udta Punjab.

She also added that she still regrets ditching college for showbiz. “I couldn’t complete my education. I kind of rushed into films, so I think that’s a sensitive part of my life and I always regret I never got to go to college.”
