By News Helpline, Mumbai - 11th December, 2019

Actress Kareena Kapoor Khan, who is retuning as a radio host in the second season of ‘What Women Want with Kareena Kapoor Khan on Ishq 104.8 FM’, has said that she feels proud to be a Radio Jockey of a show based on women issues. She also added that makers of the show will come up with season three of the show so that women can keep asking question and sharing their stories.

Kareena Kapoor Khan was interacting with the media at the launch of second season of ‘What Women Want with Kareena Kapoor Khan on Ishq 104.8 FM’ on Wednesday in Mumbai.

In the first season of ‘What Women Want with Kareena Kapoor Khan on Ishq 104.8 FM’, well-known figures like Prajakta Koli, Sunny Leone, Zoya Akhtar, Malaika Arora and many others graced the Kareena Kapoor Khan’s show.

Sharing her experience hosting second season of the show, elated Kareena said, “Now I am a pro at it. I think season one was really special but in season two, we have really killed it. I think the entire team and the way they have come up with this kind of a concept is really amazing. There have been really interesting guests on our show. Today, I interviewed Taapsee Pannu, Malini Agarwal who is a journalist and wonderful Sonali Bendre so, we are bringing in people from different fields and they are sharing their unique stories. I think this season has been an eye-opener not for me but it is going to be an eye-opener for millions and millions listeners out there.”

Kareena Kapoor Khan is known for making brave film choices throughout her film career and with her radio show, she has got into a new territory which hasn’t been explored any leading actresses in the past or present.

Kareena said that she feels proud to be a radio jockey of a show which talks about women, she said, “I am proud to be a RJ (Radio Jockey) of a show which is talking about women. We always talk about what are the needs of women, women should behave in certain way and they should dress up in a certain way but no one pays attention to what actually women want in their lives and that is what my show is about. We are trying to bring out stories about what we women want. In fact, I am hearing that the men are enjoying the show a lot because all the men on our set also were enjoying the conversations this time so, they listen to it more.”

When asked Kareena whether her confidence has built-up after hosting first season of radio show, she said, “I think this show has become synonymous with me. In fact, where ever I go now, be it airport washrooms, flights, the first thing I have observed that people come to me and say ‘what a show!’. At least, 20-25 have people come up to me and talked about the show. They can’t believe the kind of topics we have chosen and celebrities are opening up and talking about certain issues so much.”

Kareena added that in the second season of show, she will be talking with her actor husband Saif Ali Khan and mother-in-law and veteran actress Sharmila Tagore she said, “We had Soha (Soha Ali Khan) last season and in this season, we are starting the show with Sharmila (Tagore) ji. The first episode is dropping tomorrow. In fact, we have had the whole family on the show, which I think is amazing. I told her to be open and talk whatever you feel about me so, let’s see what Sharmila ji has to say about me. I have talked a lot about her in the show so, tomorrow you (audience) will come to know what she says about me.”

Kareena said that she will return with season three of the show as she feels that there are still a lot of things to talk about women, she said, “I think we are still not done with ‘What Women Want’ because there is so much to talk about and so much to dig into. I think season one wasn’t enough so we made season two. In season two, we talked a lot about subjects like self-love, women’s safety etc. My mother-in-law spoken about family and Saif has spoken about being a modern husband  but I feel we are somewhere not done yet  because you all know that women can’t stop themselves from talking and eating so,  I hope that our listeners feel that same about the show and we will move ahead towards season three and it should make people realize what women want actually in our country so, I hope this shows goes on forever because we want women to always keep asking questions and telling their stories.”
