Early Life

Kareena Kapoor, affectionately known as 'Bebo,' was born on 21 September 1980 in Mumbai. She is the younger daughter of Randhir Kapoor and Babita, and her elder sister, Karisma, is also an actress. Kareena hails from a distinguished Bollywood family, with her paternal grandfather being the iconic actor-filmmaker Raj Kapoor and her maternal grandfather, actor Hari Shivdasani. She also has lineage ties to the legendary Prithviraj Kapoor through her great-grandfather. Additionally, her uncle was the acclaimed actor Rishi Kapoor, and her cousin is the popular actor Ranbir Kapoor.

Her name, inspired by the book "Anna Karenina," reflects a mix of Punjabi Hindu heritage from her father’s side and Sindhi Hindu and British descent from her mother’s side.

As a child, Kareena was known to be naughty and spoiled, developing a fascination for films early on, influenced by actresses like Nargis and Meena Kumari. Despite her family’s deep roots in the film industry, her father initially opposed the idea of women entering cinema due to traditional beliefs. This disagreement led to her parents’ separation, though they eventually reconciled.

Kareena studied at Jamnabai Narsee School in Mumbai and later attended Welham Girls’ School in Dehradun. Initially disinterested in academics, she returned to Mumbai to study commerce at Mithibai College and even took a summer course in microcomputers at Harvard. Although she enrolled at the Government Law College in Mumbai and developed an interest in law, she ultimately chose to pursue acting, training at an institute in Mumbai.

Career

Kareena Kapoor's journey in Bollywood began in the early 2000s with her debut film "Refugee," where she starred alongside Abhishek Bachchan. Her breakout role came with Karan Johar’s "Kabhi Khushi Kabhie Gham…" in 2001, playing the character Pooja. She continued to explore diverse roles, featuring in Mani Ratnam’s "Yuva" and Govind Nihalani’s critically acclaimed film "Dev."

In 2004, Kareena took on a villainous role in the thriller "Fida," demonstrating her versatility. She also played significant roles in "Aitraaz" and "Hulchul," the latter marking her first commercial success in three years. Despite some setbacks with films like "Kyon Ki" and "Dosti: Friends Forever," she continued to push her boundaries with notable performances in "Omkara" (2006), where she portrayed Desdemona, earning her critical acclaim and several awards.

Kareena's career took a significant turn with the romantic comedy "Jab We Met" in 2007, opposite Shahid Kapoor. In 2008, she starred in "Tashan," where she met her future husband, Saif Ali Khan. She also lent her voice to the animated film "Roadside Romeo" and played a mistrustful wife in "Golmaal Returns."

In 2009, she starred in "Kambakkht Ishq," and despite mixed reviews, it performed well at the box office. She followed this with "Main Aurr Mrs Khanna" and "Kurbaan," the latter earning her a Filmfare nomination. Her role in "3 Idiots" (2009) alongside Aamir Khan became a significant success, making it the highest-grossing Bollywood film of its time and winning her several awards.

Entering the new decade, Kareena faced criticism for "Milenge Milenge" (2010) but earned acclaim for "We Are Family" and continued her successful streak with "Golmaal 3" and "Bodyguard" (2011). In 2012, she married Saif Ali Khan and welcomed their sons in 2016 and 2021. She concluded 2012 with "Talaash: The Answer Lies Within."

In subsequent years, she appeared in films like "Satyagraha" (2013), "Gori Tere Pyaar Mein" (2013), and took on smaller roles to focus on her family. Her supporting role in "Bajrangi Bhaijaan" (2015) and starring roles in "Ki & Ka" (2016) and "Udta Punjab" continued her success.
