 Yet
another Kapoor girl to have made a splash in the Hindi
films industry, Kareena Kapoor had the privilege of
debuting with Amitabh Bachchan's son, Abhishekh Bachchan.
Never in the history of films has a star sibling risen
to a status of a mega star in a short period of time
as has Kareena Kapoor. Even as a 10-year-old, when Beboo
(as she’s fondly called) tried on wigs and new
shades of lipsticks in her sister Karisma’s make-up
room, everyone knew that she would eventually join movies.
But even her mother Babita, who has an iron hand over
her daughters, could not foretell the extent of her
success.
The first unconventional step she took was by signing
Refugee immediately after rejecting
Rakesh Roshan’s Kaho Naa Pyar Hai.
Minor differences led to her walking out of the project,
and wisely so, since the film did nothing for its heroine
Amisha Patel. Refugee was a perfect
launch for Kareena, who with her ethereal looks managed
to carve a niche for herself as a performing actress
as opposed to a glamour doll.
The film did not do well but she was noticed. She had
done Yaadein in opposite Hrithik, and
Kabhi Khusi Kabhi Gham, Ashoka
opposite Shah Rukh Khan, Mujhe Kuch
Khena Hai opposite Tusshar Kapoor,
then she has Sooraj Barjatya’s film, a love triangle
with both Hrithik and Abhishek Bachchan. In 2003 Kareena's
Chameli released in which her performance
is being noticed. She got Stardust special award for
Chameli.
Her spunk is what separates her from rest of the glam
brigade. And beneath that translucent skin lies a hunger
that a truckload of her fav. snicker bars can't satiate.
She brushes aside her famine at the box office. She's
supremely confident it will bow to her one day. She
believes in herself strongly. She's certainly convinced
a long line of filmmakers, fat pay packets in hand.
Now all she needs is one blockbuster.
Her other films soon to be released is Mani Rathnam's
Yuva and Govind Nihalani's Dev.
In these films she tried to dress and act completely
according to the characters. Her other films are with
Dharmesh Darshan's Bewafaa and Priyadarshan's
Hulchul.
