“I still feel like I’m on seventh heaven,” declares actress Kareena Kapoor. But her heady feeling is not so much to do with her rather successful innings last year or having the most biggies this year.

Instead the Bolly beauty — who recently returned from a romantic Alpine break with beau Saif Ali Khan — is still basking in the memories of her recent vacation. Never mind that the actress has already kick-started her work this year with Salman Khan for the remake of Bodyguard and is currently shooting in Pune for it.

Though excited about the busy year ahead, she admits that it’s also going to be “a crazy one.” “Saif and I are going to be in a long-distance relationship till April,” she jokes. “And even then we are coming together for professional reasons, as we begin the shoot on Agent Vinod. Till then he is busy with Aarakshan and I’m busy with this film.” Kareena is however quick to add, that she can’t ‘imagine being away from Saif for so long’. “Our love is really the most important thing for both of us and so, we’ll definitely take a day or two off for each other regularly.”

Talking about her being paired opposite Saif, she says, that the chemistry in this film will definitely be different from their last outing together in Kurbaan. “I do deal with guns in the film, but I’m no Bond girl to Saif, nor am I any femme fatale,” she clarifies about her role.

More excited about working with the Khans all year through, than about her being the highest paid actresses or the one of the highest paid brand endorsers, she says that she doesn’t take competition in Bollywood seriously. “I don’t care about the number game and I definitely don’t take any such tags seriously at all. But it’s good to be working with the best in the industry. They bring out the best in you too.” Talking about competition, it’s hard not to ask about Priyanka Chopra...“What about her?” shoots backKareena before adding, “We are not the best of friends, sure, but we aren’t enemies either. I respect her as an actor. So much has already been written about the two of us and I don’t even understand why!”
