Kareena Kapoor (
Hindi: करीना कपूर; born on
September 21, 1980) is an
Indian film actress appearing in
Bollywood films. Born
into the
Kapoor film family, she made her acting debut with
Refugee (2000), for which she won a
Filmfare Best Female Debut Award. In 2001, Kapoor received
her first commercial success with her second release,
Mujhe Kucch Kehna
Hai[ and later appeared in
Karan Johar's melodrama
Kabhi Khushi Kabhie Gham, which became India's top-grossing film in the overseas market that year
and her biggest commercial success to date.
[After receiving negative reviews due to a
series of unsuccessful films and repetitive roles between 2002 and 2003, Kapoor accepted more demanding parts to avoid being
typecast. Her portrayal of a sex worker in
Chameli (2004) proved to be the turning point in her career and garnered her the
Filmfare Special Performance Award.
[She later received two
Critics Awards for Best Actress at the
Filmfare ceremony for her performances in the critically acclaimed
Dev (2004) and
Omkara (2006). After taking on such a range of acting roles between 2004 and 2006, she was
recognized for displaying versatility as an actress.
[
In 2007, Kapoor earned a
Filmfare Best Actress Award
for her performance in the commercially successful
comedy-romance Jab We Met. Although the
box office earnings of her films have varied considerably, Kapoor has established herself as one of the leading contemporary actresses in the Hindi film industry.

Early life and family
Main article:
Kapoor family
Born in
Mumbai,
Maharashtra, India into the
Kapoor film family of
Punjabi origin, Kapoor is the youngest daughter of actors
Randhir Kapoor and
Babita (
née Shivdasani). According to Kapoor, her first name was derived from the book
Anna Karenina.
[ She is the granddaughter of actor and filmmaker
Raj Kapoor and the great granddaughter of
Prithviraj Kapoor. Bebo, as she is fondly called, is also the sister of actress
Karisma Kapoor and the niece of actor
Rishi Kapoor.
[
Despite being born into a successful acting family, her father insisted that she marry early according to Indian tradition and avoid acting.
[In an interview with
Encyclopedia Britannica, he stated that the problem was not women acting itself, given that both
he and his brother married well-known actresses as did their uncles. Rather, his concerns arose from the purported incompatibility between acting and the maternal duties and responsibility of
women in the family.
[This led to irreconcilable differences between her parents and
resulted in her mother leaving the house along with Kapoor and her older sister.
[ She was
raised by her mother, who, with difficulty, worked several jobs to support the family, until Karisma began work as an actress in 1991.
[
Kapoor was educated at
Jamnabai Narsee School in Mumbai,
and later
Welham Girls Boarding
School in
Dehradun. After studying commerce at
Mithibai College,
Vile Parle for two years, she embarked upon a three-month summer course in microcomputers at
Harvard University.
[She later developed an interest in law and enrolled at the Government's Law College in
Churchgate.
[ After completing one year there, she returned to her initial plan to become an actress
[ and commenced training under Kishore Namit Kapoor's Acting Institute.
[
Career
Early work, until 2000
Kapoor was initially scheduled to make her debut in
Rakesh Roshan's
Kaho Naa... Pyaar Hai (2000), opposite his son,
Hrithik Roshan.
[However, several days into the filming, she abandoned the project and later explained that, "It
was probably destined that I was not to be in the film. After all, it was a launch for his son. The whole focus was on the boy. Now I am glad I did not do the movie."
[After turning down Kaho Naa... Pyaar Hai, Kapoor made her acting debut later that same year in
J.P. Dutta's war drama
Refugee, opposite
Abhishek Bachchan. Set during the
Indo-Pakistani conflicts, the film centers on a young man known simply as Refugee (played by
Bachchan) who illegally transports civilians back and forth across the
Pakistan border. Kapoor portrayed the role of Naaz, a
Bangladeshi girl who falls in love with him while migrating to Pakistan. Her performance was acclaimed by critics;
Taran Adarsh of
indiaFM wrote, "Kareena Kapoor has a magnetic personality, which will make the viewer fall in love
with her instantly. What surprises you is the ease with which she emotes the most difficult of scenes [...] There's no denying the fact that she is a natural performer who is very camera
friendly."
[ Kapoor's performance earned her the
Filmfare Best Female Debut Award, and Refugee went on to
become the fifth-highest grossing film of the year.
[
Breakthrough, 2001–2003
In 2001, Kapoor starred opposite
Tusshar Kapoor in
Mujhe Kucch Kehna Hai, a romantic drama film directed by
Satish Kaushik. Revolving around the story about a troubled young man who
falls in love with Pooja, played by Kareena, the film went on to become one of the highest earners of the year.
[However, subseq

uent releases
such as
Yaadein and
Ajnabee that followed for Kapoor did indifferent business at the box office.
[
Later that year, she starred in
Santosh Sivan's period epic
Asoka, a partly fictionalized account of the life of
Ashoka the Great (
304 BC–
232 BC), one of the noted Indian emperors of the
Maurya Empire. The film had a strong international release, including a screening at the
Venice Film Festival and the
2001 Toronto International Film Festival.
[Featured opposite
Shahrukh Khan who took centre stage as Ashoka, Kapoor portrayed the character of
Kaurwaki, a princess of
Kalinga with whom Ashoka falls deeply in love. While the film received generally positive reviews,
Kapoor's acting performance received a mixed reaction from some critics, with some believing her contribution to the film was primarily for aesthetic purposes. A review on
Rediff.com said about her performance, "Kareena flashes a lot of skin and fills
up the screen for a large portion of the first half. While a large portion of the first half is focused on the emerging romance between the runaway prince and herself and to their credit they
do manage to whip up some on-screen chemistry, I am still unsure as to her acting abilities".
[ Nonetheless, her performance was praised by some critics and earned her a first nomination for
Best Actress at the
Filmfare Awards.
[
Kapoor as "Poo" in
Kabhi Khushi Kabhie Gham (2001), her biggest commercial success.
Kapoor's final release of 2001 was the drama
Kabhi Khushi Kabhie
Gham, which was released on December 14 of that year and was directed by
Karan Johar. The film—which had a multi-starred cast that included
Amitabh Bachchan,
Jaya Bachchan, Shahrukh Khan,
Kajol and
Hrithik Roshan—emerged as the second-highest-grossing film of the year in India, as well as
Kapoor's highest-grossing movie, with a domestic total of
Rs 490
million.film overseas, earning over Rs 350 million, the second biggest Bollywood success of all time in the overseas market.Her performance as "Poo" was well received by critics, and earned
her a
Filmfare Best Supporting Actress
nomination. Taran Adarsh noted, "Kareena Kapoor is one of the main highlights of the film. She provides the much-needed fun and entertainment in the second half; her performance will be loved
by the youth. Playing a cosmetic beauty to the hilt, she is simply adorable."[During 2002 and 2003, Kapoor experienced a slump in her career. She featured in six films in total—
Mujhse Dosti Karoge! and
Jeena Sirf Merre Liye in 2002, and
Talaash: The Hunt Begins...,
Khushi,
Main Prem Ki Diwani Hoon and the four hour J.P. Dutta war epic
LOC Kargil in 2003—all of which proved critically and commercially unsuccessful in India.
Yash Raj Films' Mujhse Dosti Karoge!, directed by
Kunal Kohli on his debut, was a film with high public anticipation, yet it
under-performed at the domestic box office despite generating revenue overseas.One critic reported that "Kareena Kapoor is inconsistent. The actress looks ravishing in every frame, but she
repeats her smug act in K

abhi Khushi
Kabhie Gham to an annoying effect here."[ Another film during this period was Main Prem Ki Diwani Hoon, which released the following year. The film, directed by
Sooraj R. Barjatya under the
Rajshri Productions banner, also fared poorly at the box office in India despite becoming a
success overseas.[Kapoor's performance was again identified by many critics as unoriginal and repetitive, with little inspiration. Her role was considered by some to be a repeat of her
earlier performances and characters in Kabhi Khushi Kabhie Gham, Yaadein, and her previous film Khushi.[At the time, critics expressed concern that Kapoor was becoming typecast. These
negative reviews were fundamental in motivating her to embody different roles, often with a stronger essence of character, in the years that followed.[
Turning point, 2004–present
Following the negative period in Kapoor's career, 2004 marked the beginning of her work in more serious films, most of which would bring her critical acclaim rather than commercial
success.
[Under the direction of
S
udhir Mishra, Kapoor played a prostitute in
Chameli opposite
Rahul Bose, which takes the name of her central character. Chameli relates the story of a young
prostitute who meets with a widowed investment banker, and follows their way of getting close to each other by sharing their devastating life experiences. The film garnered predominantly
positive reviews and Kapoor's portrayal earned her the
Filmfare Special Performance Award.
Indiatimes wrote about her performance, "... Kareena goes way beyond anyone's expectations, including most decidedly her own, to deliver an all-time great
performance, on a par with
Nargis in
Mehboob Khan's
Mother India (1957),
Meena Kumari in
Sahib Bibi Aur Ghulam (1962) and
Shabana Azmi in
Mahesh Bhatt's
Arth (1982). Kareena flashes an intuitive brilliance that comes to movies very, very rarely
indeed".
[
Kapoor as the prostitute "Chameli" in
Chameli (2004).
Kapoor then appeared opposite Amitabh Bachchan and
Fardeen Khan in
Govind Nihalani's critically acclaimed
Dev, a film which featured her as a vocalist for a song for the first time in her career.
[ The drama centres around the
Gujarat riots and
communal violence which prevailed between February and May 2002 in the Indian
State of Gujarat between the
Hindu and
Muslim communities.
[Modeled after
Zahira Sheikh, a key witness in
Vadodara's
Best Bakery case, Kapoor's role was that of a middle-class Muslim girl named Aaliya who falls
victim to the riots.
[For her performance, she earned a
Filmfare Critics Award for Best Performance, as
well as nominations for Best Actress at various award ceremonies. Taran Adarsh commented, "Kareena Kapoor is first-rate. Sporting a deglamorized look, the actress takes a giant leap with this
film. Her scene with Amitabh Bachchan (when the latter asks for witnesses to come forward) is an example of superb acting."
[
Shortly after that, Kapoor was cast in her first uncivil role in the thriller
Fida opposite
Shahid Kapoor and Fardeen
Khan. The film deals with Internet theft and an underworld of Mumbai gangsters in which her character Neha Mehra becomes involved. Although the film failed at the box office, Kapoor received
positive reviews for her performance.
The Tribune noted, "Kareena
Kapoor delivers well. She looks tired, but manages to freshen you up with her bitchy smile"; Rediff.com concluded, "Kareena has finally moved beyond "Poo" in Kabhi Khushi Kabhie Gham and has
come into her own."
[Her subsequent releases that year included
Abbas-Mustan's moderately successful thriller
Aitraaz and
Priyadarshan's comedy
Hulchul, her first box-office hit since 2002.
[In 2005, Kapoor appeared in three films. She fir

st starred in
the
Dharmesh Darshan directed drama
Bewafaa, alongside
Anil Kapoor,
Akshay Kumar and
Sushmita Sen. Kapoor played the lead role as the
Indo-Canadian Anjaji, who marries her sister's husband after her death, but unsatisfied with the
ensuing married life resumes a relationship with her previous boyfriend. The film received mixed reviews and Kapoor's performance was not well-received.
[ Later in the year, she appeared in Priyadarshan's romantic drama
Kyon Ki. The drama, set in a psychiatric hospital, relates the love story of a mentally ill
patient, played by
Salman Khan, and his physician, played by Kapoor.
The movie failed to make a profit at the box-office, though Kapoor's performance was generally well-received by critics.
[ The
BBC wrote, "It goes without saying that she is a pure natural when it comes to acting."[ Kapoor then featured in the romance
Dosti: Friends Forever alongside Akshay Kumar, Bobby Deol and
Lara Dutta. The film, whilst only a moderate success in India, became the highest earning
Bollywood film of 2005 in the United Kingdom.
In 2006, Kapoor starred in the thriller
36 China Town, followed by
the comedy
Chup Chup Ke. Both films performed moderately well at the
box office.[She next portrayed the role of
Desdemona in the
Hindi adaptation of
William Shakespeare's
Othello,
Omkara. Directed by
Vishal Bhardwaj, the film starred Kapoor alongside
Ajay Devgan,
Saif Ali Khan,
Vivek Oberoi and
Konkona Sen Sharma, and was premiered at the
2006 Cannes Film Festival.Her performance was praised, earning Kapoor her fourth Filmfare Award
and first
Star Screen Award.
Rediff.com commented that "Her character is one of the hardest to essay, as she
goes through love and awe, fear and bewilderment, defiance to her father and submission to her man. Kareena doesn't have the lines, but she has moments demanding powerful use of expression,
and she delivers."
Later that year, she appeared in an
item number in
Farhan Akhtar's
Don - The Chase Begins Again, a remake of the 1978 Bollywood film
Don. Although Kapoor's performance was generally well-received, critics commented that she did not
perform the role as well as
Helen did in the
original version.
Kapoor (as Geet Dhillon) with
Shahid Kapoor in
Jab We Met (2007), which earned the actress a
Filmfare Best Actress Award.

The following year, she co-starred alongside Shahid Kapoor in
Imtiaz
Ali's
comedy-romance Jab We Met. Relating the story of two people with contrasting personalities who meet on a train
and eventually fall in love, Kapoor played the female protagonist Geet Dhillon, a vivacious
Sikhni girl with a strong zest for life. The film was received favourably by critics and became one of the year's most successful films at the box office, earning
a domestic total of Rs 303 million.Kapoor won several awards for her performance, including a
Filmfare Best Actress Award and her second
Star Screen Award for Best Actress.
Rajeev Masand from
CNN-IBN noted, "Uninhibited and spontaneous, Kareena Kapoor is the soul of this picture, its
biggest strength, as she brings alive her character with not just those smart lines, but with the kind of candor actors seldom invest in their work. I can't think of a greater compliment to
pay her than to say with full confidence that no actress could play Geet better than Kareena has."Following the success of Jab We Met, Kapoor featured opposite Akshay Kumar, Saif Ali Khan and
Anil Kapoor in the action-thriller
Tashan (2008). The film—which
marked her comeback to the
Yash Raj Films banner—was a critical and
commercial failure at the box office.[Kapoor next provided her voice for the Yash Raj Films &
Walt Disney Pictures animated movie
Roadside Romeo. Directed by
Jugal Hansraj, the movie featured a street dog named Romeo and had Kapoor providing the voice of
Laila, his love interest. In preparation for her role, Kapoor watched several
Hollywood animated films to analyse how actors delivered their dialogues.
Rohit Shetty's comedy
Golmaal Returns, a sequel to the 2006 film
Golmaal, followed. Featuring in part of an ensemble
cast that included Ajay Devgan,
Arshad Warsi,
Tusshar Kapoor,
Shreyas Talpade,
Amrita Arora,
Celina Jaitley and
Anjana Sukhani, Kapoor played the role of Devgan's suspicious wife. The film received a lukewarm
reception from critics and Kapoor received mixed reviews.
The Indian
Express concluded, "There is nothing particularly new about a suspicious wife keeping tabs on her husband, and there is nothing particularly new in the way Kareena plays it:
because it is a Balaji production, she is called Ekta, and all she seems to do is to watch soppy 'saas bahu' serials which come from the stable."[Golmaal Returns turned out to become a major
financial success nonetheless, with revenues of over Rs 500 million domesticallyAs of December 2008, Kapoor is currently filming for the romantic drama
Kambakth Ishq, as well as Prem Soni's drama
Main Aur Mrs. Khanna. She was also cast as the lead in
Rajkumar Hirani's upcoming film,
Three Idiots, which began principal photography in July 2008.[
Other work
During her years in the film industry, Kapoor has also devoted time to other commitments, from being involved with humanitarian causes to ta

king part in
stage shows. In 2002, Kapoor set off on her first world tour, the Heartthrobs Concert, alongside
Hrithik Roshan,
Karisma Kapoor,
Arjun Rampal and
Aftab Shivdasani. The show was performed throughout the US and Canada and went on to become a
success.[In November 2003, Kapoor performed at the Marco Ricci Each One Reach One Benefit Concert, a fundraiser for the World Youth Peace Summit,whilst in 2005, along with other Bollywood
stars, she took part in the HELP! Telethon Concert to help raise money for the victims of the
2004 Indian Ocean earthquake.Later that year, she visited the desert heartland of
Rajasthan to boost the morale of the
jawans for a special
Holi weekend episode on the
NDTV show, Jai Jawan. The show consists of entertainers and stars visiting Indian troops in
far-flung regions along with the NDTV team.
In 2006, Kapoor took part in the Rockstars Concert world tour, along with
Salman
Khan,
Zayed Khan,
John Abraham, Shahid Kapoor,
Esha Deol and
Mallika Sherawat.The following year, Kapoor, along with
Priyanka Chopra, donated her half-share of 50
lakh rupees from her winnings on the season finale of
Kaun Banega Crorepati to St. Anthony's Old Age Home and Mount Mary's Bandra. In June 2008, Kapoor
appeared on the television game show
Kya Aap Paanchvi Pass
Se Tez Hain? alongside boyfriend Saif Ali Khan. Earning a total of 500,000 rupees, Kapoor again donated half of her winnings to St. Anthony's Old Age Home, Bandra.
Personal life
Kapoor with boyfriend
Saif Ali Khan at the
53rd Filmfare Awards ceremony in 2008.
Gossip columnists have linked Kapoor to a number of her co-stars, but she has strongly denied all these rumors.[In 2004, she began dating actor
Shahid Kapoor, the son of veteran actor
Pankaj Kapoor.[While dating, their relationship was often reported in the media, and was once in
the center of a scandal when onlookers with mobile phone cameras filmed them kissing and released it to the media.[The couple separated three years later while filming
Jab We Met (2007). Though the media initially perceived it as a publicity stunt for the
film,[ it was later confirmed that the couple had indeed broken up.[According to her, they remained on good terms, and she said in an interview, "I have seen Shahid from his first film to Jab
We Met and I can say that there is a marked difference. According to me he is a bundle of talent waiting to explode. I have that much of faith in him as an actor."
[In September 2007, during her breakup with Kapoor, rumors began floating around that she was
seeing actor
Saif Ali Khan. On October 18, 2007, during
Manish Malhotra's grand finale show at the Lakme Fashion Week, Khan
confirmed their relationship to the media saying, "Yes, we are not exactly shouting from the rooftops but yes, clearly we are together. And we are happy together!"[Their relationship is
frequently reported on in the media, and is often subject to press speculation of a possible engagement or marriage.[However, both of them have denied these rumours.
[In 2006, Kapoor declared that she would turn vegetarian in order to keep her weight in check.
