Los Angeles, (IANS) Hollywood actress Kristen Stewart isn’t too much of a fan of what she did in ‘Twilight’. The actress has said that she felt she was a "pretentious little loser" while shooting for the film.

The 36-year-old actress, who was just 17 years old when she shot the first movie in the series, reflected on playing Bella Swan.

She also spoke about how seriously she and her co-star Robert Pattinson took the project. The actress said on the ‘In Your Dreams With Owen Thiele’ podcast, “The first one, we were talking about this earlier ‘cause someone else asked about it, but I was like such a pretentious little loser. It was so so serious. Me and Rob were like, ‘Yeah, this is like f****** epic, like, let’s try and, like, elevate this s***’. And it’s like, just be exactly what age you are, and like say the words”.

The actress further mentioned that she and Robert, 40, had a very "teenage" attitude at the time.

She said in jest, “It was always like, ‘Oh my God, embarrassing. God, I just wanted to be like f****** real and it’s, like, impossible. Everyone’s like making it f****** impossible for it to be like f****** real. And then you look at it, and you’re like, it was f****** real. “Anything too much is so perfect for that period of time, where you're not going to do subtle stuff when you’re, like, a teenager dying”.

The actress, who dated Robert for four years after meeting him on the set of the first film in 2008, said that it took some time after the films ended to appreciate them for what they were.

She said, “It's really funny ‘cause it was like we did five of those movies, and it took five years, and then we've never stopped talking about it. During the time in which they were coming out, we were always being asked to look at it from the outside, which was not possible to do yet”.Her comments about the serious nature of the performances echo similar marks made by Robert in April.

Mumbai, August 11 (IANS) The premier episode of Kaun Banega Crorepati witnessed Sunny Deol and Preity Zinta, along with Aamir Khan, the first guests of the season.

During a fun exchange on the hot seat with host Amitabh Bachchan, Preity Zinta shared how the screen icon is an absolute favourite in her household.

The conversation started when the actress asked the host, “Sabse jyada film industry mein joh mere gharmein popular hain, aap guess kijiye woh kaun hain” (Guess who is the most popular person from the film industry in my house?) to which Big B joking said, “Koi bhi nahi.” (Nobody)

The actress further went on to reveal that her children know the megastar best through his famous song "Mere Paas Aao Mere Dosto" (from the 1979 film Mr. Natwarlal), “Aap, not for your movies, sorry mere bacche aapka woh ganna sunte hain, they tell me mom sher wala gaana.. mere paas aao mere… woh joh aap kartein hain na jingle tunes, so my kids always do that” (You! But not for your movies. My kids listen to that song of yours. They tell me 'Mom, play the tiger song... Mere Paas Aao Mere...'. That jingle tune you do, my kids are always doing that)

Preity left the studio in splits, prompting Big B to share his own hilarious observation about how the younger generation perceives his 55-year cinematic legacy. “Chaliye dhanyawaad hain kisi film se humara sambandh rakhetin hain woh.. itne bacche milte haina, woh apne mummy-daddy aakarke yaha boltein hain, sir humara chota baccha hain 5 saal ka picture dekhtein hi bolta hai Sir, KBC uncle.. yaani 50-55 saal hogaye kaam karte huye, itni filmo mein kaam kia hain kisi character kaa naam hi nahi lete hai, sirf unko KBC yaad ata hain”

(Well, thank you, at least they associate me with some movie! So many parents come up to me and say, 'Sir, our 5-year-old child sees your photo and says, Look, KBC Uncle.' Meaning after working for 50-55 years in movies and doing so many films, nobody takes the name of any character, they only remember KBC)

For the uninitiated, the iconic song loved by Preity Zinta’s children featured in Big B's superhit movie Mr. Natwarlal which released in 1979.The film featured Amitabh Bachchan, Rekha, Ajit, Kader Khan, Amjad Khan and the music was constructed by Rajesh Roshan, with the songs written by Anand Bakshi.
