The hazel eyed goddess has taken the industry by storm, and her extrovert nature and ravishing features are embodied in her 5' 5" frame.
Kareena's schooling was at Jamnabai Narsee School, Mumbai and then she went to Welham Girl's Boarding School, Dehradun and later Harvard summer school, for a short-term course in microcomputers and information technology. She then took an admission in Government Law College at Churchgate, after completing one year there, she realized that acting is what she want as a career and attended the Kishore Namit Kapoor acting school.
Kareena made an unconventional and rather bold debut along with Abishek Bachachan in J.P Dutta's Refugee (2000). Her performance got her rave reviews and filmmakers started queuing up at her door for her dates. But she then had to put up with a bad phase, when some of her much awaited films like Ashoka and Yaadein didn't do well but still she had more offers coming her way and producers were ready to give double her market price.
Even though she was not the heroine in Kabhi Khushi Kabhie Gham, her performance as 'poo' was widely appreciated and the film also did well in box office. Then came Chameli, in which she played a prostitute. It fetched her lot of critical acclaim and she didn't had to look back after that. Aitraaz and Hulchul followed which were also successful. Critics as well as the audiences were taken aback by her acting prowess in Omkara, and her special dance appearance in Don was also appreciated.
Her outstanding performances in Asoka and Kabhi Khushi Kabhi Gham Kareena put her critics to rest. With recent hits like Jab We Met, keep a look out for this suave beauty.
Black and red are the two favorite colors of Kareena Kapoor. She loves to hang out in jeans and T-shirt but for formal functions she prefers ethnic Indian wear. For Kareena Kapoor her mom and sister are her greatest strengths. Reading, swimming, eating making friends and cooking are her leisure activities. She is very beautiful, talented, independent, and intelligent girl who loves frankness and honesty but at the same time hate liars and hypocrites
Kareena is known for speaking her mind without thinking about its consequences and was misconceived as being arrogant, during her initial stages. For cheap publicity, some actresses would make some crude remarks about her, knowing that she would retort, but with age, she has wised-up.
Kareena Kapoor may not have many hits to her credit but then too she remains to be one of the top and most talented actresses.
Since her debut in the 2000 film, Refugee, she has acted in nearly 30 films, majority of them bringing her critical success rather than commercial success. Despite this fact, she has emerged today as one of the top and most versatile actresses from the industry. As of 2007, her total box office impact is worth well over Rs. 4 billion.
