A caring sister, a devoted daughter, a talented actress, and above all, an ideal woman. These are the different dimensions to the person known as Kareena Kapoor. The fourth generation of the legendary Kapoor family, this young star had an ideal debut playing a young muslim lass in JP Duttas Refugee opposite star kid Abhishek Bachan in the year 2000. Though the movie didnt fare as great, Kareena was appreciated immensely. From her very first scene, with droplets of water clinging to her skin and shimmering eyes containing a river of emotions, the entire nation knew that an artiste-par-excellence was born. Touted as the next big thing, Kareena embarked on a journey of a lifetime that took her to greater heights than she had ever imagined.
Kareena was instantly scooped up by the biggest of banners even before the release of her first film. She stunned audiences in her second venture, Mujhe Kuch Kehna Hai, starring opposite yet another star kid, Tushar Kapoor, and proved her star power by delivering her first solo hit.
Unfortunately, with her increasing fame, Kareena also faced increasing controversies. Her words, unintentionally, began to rub many the wrong way, and she became famous for her undiplomatic and forthright personality. Many of the incidents were fabricated and her words twisted. But this true blue Kapoor gal never let this hold her down. She plowed through her thickening unpopularity, maintaining that "my work will speak for me."
As the years passed, Kareena blossomed into a versatile artiste who experimented with different kinds of roles. While others were content portraying glamour dolls under big production houses, Kareena ventured out and took up challenging roles such as Chameli, Yuva, Dev, and Omkara, and forever shut the mouths of her critics by giving one scintillating performance after another. Although none of these films struck gold at the Box Office, she boasted of an enviable repertoire of directors, ranging from Mani Ratnam to Sudhir Mishra to Vishal Bharadwaj to Karan Johar to Priyadarshan, proving that true talent never goes unnoticed.
However, it was the year 2007 when she finally won all hearts by playing the role of a sikhni from Bhatinda in the movie Jab We Met. She gave the years most endearing and heartfelt performance, forcing even her haters to applaud her work. Additionally, she became the top choice to endorse a variety of products, including Globus, Head and Shoulders, Citizen Drive Watches, Pepsi, Lux, Emami and many more.
While her professional life took an upturn, Kareena experienced a rocky phase in her personal life when a four and half year relationship with former boyfriend Shahid Kapoor came to a close towards the end of the year. She is currently in a relationship with superstar Saif Ali Khan, and is enjoying the best phase of her career thus far.
