GRAPE VINE

Gender bias is an issue nobody addresses

Actress Kareena Kapoor Khan says the issue of gender bias is something which has still not become a centre of discussion. The actress will be seen in the upcoming film "Ki & Ka", directed by R Balki which features Arjun Kapoor as a progressive house-husband supporting his wife, enacted by Kareena, who is a career-oriented woman.

"It is a very different film because of the concept of gender bias. It's an issue which nobody addresses. There is a stay-at-home husband, there is a woman who wants to work," Kareena said. She added, "Today anyways women are there in every field, they are leading the pack. They are definitely more independent than what they were 20 years ago."

Kareena, who last worked in Salman Khan-starrer "Bajrangi Bhaijaan", said it was a challenge to make her character of 
an ambitious young woman real and believable.

"Ki & Ka" releases on April 1.
