Kareena probably realizes that repeatedly appearing in films opposite beau Shahid Kapoor may be very romantic but isn't going to stop the slide in her career.
The highest paid actress at one time, Kareena has seen her paycheck steadily reduce as she delivered one flop after the other.
Kareena and Shah Rukh Khan were last paired in Ashoka the Great (2001) which was also produced by Shah Rukh Khan.

A role opposite Shah Rukh Khan could deliver her the hit that would once again see her demanding between Rs 1 to 2 crores per film as in the past, instead of the measly Rs 75 Lakhs that she has to do with now.
A source told the Mumbai Mirror that Kareena has already paid a visit to Shah Rukh Khan at his residence in Bandra to lobby for the role.
"Ever since Kareena heard that SRK was the leading man of Robot, she immediately made up her mind to do that film too. The actress visited SRK's Bandra home, Mannat, and in the presence of Gauri Khan, said that she should be considered for the female lead in Shankar's Robot."
