Kareena Kapoor has said that playing an ordinary woman in the Bollywood remake of Stepmom is hard for her.

The Kambakht Ishq star has been preparing for the role by taking acting classes.

She told The Times of India: "The last time I rehearsed for a part it was for Vishal Bhardwaj’s Omkara.

"But that was a more unconventional film and role where I had to get into a milieu and character I knew nothing about.

"But Stepmom is urban and very contemporary. I play a very normal metro-centric working girl. It should’ve been easier."

She added about the role: "I walk, talk, dress like an ordinary working girl. I’ll be using no makeup."

Kapoor plans to meet Julia Roberts, whose part she will be playing in the update of the domestic drama.
