At a time when doing a Madhur Bhandarkar film almost guaranteed a win at the National Film Awards, Kareena Kapoor Khan’s Heroine did nothing to up the actress’ equity in the film industry. Kareena had poured her heart and soul into the film, but it wasn’t successful critically or commercially.

Was she affected after the film flopped, we asked Kareena during Mid-day’s print and podcast series, Sit With Hitlist. “I am such an emotional person, I am affected. So, if I am affected by something, I just show. And I think that was what happened with Heroine, because I really worked hard on the film and I wanted it to be... Everyone was winning national awards for Madhur’s film and somewhere we went wrong. But I still feel that it was one of my amazing performances,” she said.
