Bollywood star Kareena Kapoor says the reason behind her longevity in the film industry, where female actors are reminded of their 'shelf-life', is her loyal fan base that has stayed by her side in her two-decade-long career.
The 39-year-old star, who made her debut in 2000 with JP Dutta's ‘Refugee’, says she is still having a golden run by working in projects that she always wanted to be a part of. "It's been very fulfilling and I'm happy that I can now do the work that I've wanted to. I want to, obviously, continue working all my life because it's difficult as people say that actresses have a shelf-life. After two decades, getting married and having a child, it's great to see the kind of love and support fans have given me. It's the reason for my longevity. My audiences have always supported me and that is why I'm here even today, Kareena told PTI.

Kareena, who has given memorable performances in ‘Chameli’, ‘Asoka’, ‘Omkara’ and ‘Jab We Met’, married her ‘Tashan’ co-star Saif Ali Khan, who, she says, has been a constant support. "He never asks me what films I'm doing but he has always been there for me. We discuss his work a lot, but he never really asked me which film I'm doing. He only asks me when will I be home because he wants to spend time with me, but otherwise there's no such filter,” she adds.
The actor is currently filming for superstar Aamir Khan's Laal Singh Chadha, which is an official Hindi adaptation of Tom Hanks' classic Forrest Gump. (Agencies)
