Aamir Khan's 2022 release Laal Singh Chaddha struggled to connect with audiences and underperformed at the box office. Kareena Kapoor, who starred opposite Aamir in the film, recently spoke about its failure in an interview with The Hollywood Reporter India, revealing that Aamir was deeply affected by the outcome and even apologised to her after the release.

What Kareena Said

Reflecting on the film’s performance, Kareena shared, “Laal Singh was such a beautiful, honest film. You have such stalwarts like Aamir who believed in that film (Laal Singh Chaddha). Of course, he was shattered. He met me somewhere and he said, ‘Picture nahi chali humari na, tu baat toh karegi na mujhse (Our movie didn’t work. You will still talk to me, right)?’ What is the meaning of saying this now that I am sorry? I am like, 'We are actors! I am most proud that you gave me Rupa! I feel what Rupa has done… it has done more for me than what a Singham can do!'”

She elaborated on her connection with the role, saying, “The character was so beautiful. I loved playing it, I enjoyed doing that part. It had so much more to do, so much more to think of… you are not just there, and we did not make that film thinking it would make ₹500 crore. It was just made with all heart.”
