In 2000, Kareena Kapoor made her highly anticipated Bollywood debut in "Refugee," marking the beginning of her successful acting career. Over the past two decades, she has become one of India's most popular and influential stars, breaking norms by marrying during her career peak and embracing unconventional roles to avoid typecasting. Kareena's choices have solidified her position as a versatile and determined actress with a devoted fan base and admiration from her peers.

 

Unconventional roles she got in the Industry

Kareena Kapoor's Bollywood journey began with "Refugee," but she quickly transitioned into glamorous roles like Poo in "Kabhi Khushi Kabhie Gham," which became a fan favorite. However, Kareena refused to be typecast and ventured into diverse roles in films like "Chameli," "Yuva," and "Omkara," earning critical acclaim and establishing herself as a versatile actor. "Jab We Met" showcased her as a bankable star with the iconic character Geet. Kareena continued to experiment with roles in movies such as "Heroine," "Talaash," and "Udta Punjab." Her recent release, "Jaane Jaan," further exemplifies her willingness to break away from mainstream roles and tackle challenging characters in murder-mystery thrillers.

 

Defying the convention of the shelf life of an actress

At 43, Kareena Kapoor Khan remains a sought-after Bollywood actor. Her recent films include collaborations with top actors like Aamir Khan (Laal Singh Chaddha), Akshay Kumar (Good Newwz), and the late Irrfan Khan (Angrezi Medium). Kareena's upcoming projects include Rohit Shetty's Singham 3 with Ajay Devgn.

Kareena defies the traditional notion of an actress's shelf life and continues to be one of the busiest stars in the industry. While her film Jaane Jaan releases on OTT, she eagerly awaits the premiere of The Buckingham Murders at the 67th BFI London Film Festival in October. She will then begin shooting for Singham 3, manage her radio show What Women Want, and grace magazine covers simultaneously.
