Mumbai, July 22 - Kareena Kapoor admits she gets upset when uncharitable remarks are made about her or her performance. Though the actress doesn't mind healthy criticism, she isn't amused when comments are made without any provocation or reason.

'I have realised over a period of time that the higher you go, more and more people will try to pull you down. I used to hear about this from my sister (Karisma) but am experiencing this first hand now. It isn't really funny actually,' Kareena told IANS.

Kareena was obviously referring to a section of the media coming down heavily on her since the release of 'Kambakkht Ishq'.

'Well, the movie has released, done well and it's time to move on to newer things. Critics had things to say about the film and it's okay if they didn't like the film. In any case, audiences had their own take on the film and they made the film a success. It's all balanced out at the end of the day,' she said.

Some critics did feel that the 'Kambakkht Ishq' content was too abusive at places.

'That continues to beat me,' she said in an amused tone. 'Come on, it was just a movie. We were not developing any rocket science there. However, I guess some people did take it all personally and equated 'Kambakkht Ishq' to World War III,' said Kareena.

She can't be immune to criticism though, isn't it?

'Yes, I do tend to get upset and depressed when people try to pull me down.
