"I am very expressive. You must be aware that I have given 100 expressions on the trailer launch," Kareena quipped.

Explaining the reason behind her exaggerated expressions during the trailer launch, she added, "Because I didn't get a chance in the film, so I didn't launch the trailer."

"When Will That Expression Of A Bebo Come?"

Kareena said her role required her to remain restrained, with much of her performance taking place while sitting behind a desk and interviewing other characters.

"Because I have held on to the character a lot in the film, I was always sitting because as a police officer, I had a table in front of me. So I was always interviewing when I was with the other actors," she said.

"The camera was always on my face. But my legs were always like this," said Kareena, enacting her legs shaking. "When will that expression of a Bebo come? And she (Meghna) would be like, no," Kareena said, referring to the restraint expected from her character.

"So I think it has brought a different dimension to my personality," she said.

Anticipation Builds Ahead Of Her Birthday

Kareena added, "And now I can't wait for 18th of September. So I want the audience to give me a birthday present. Because my birthday is on the 21st. So I am sure it's going to be amazing," she added.

For the uninitiated, with "Daayra," Kareena takes on a police officer's role.

The movie, directed by Meghna Gulzar, is all set to release on September 18.
