Hot Photos Of Indian Actresses Biography
Kareena Kapoor Khan, is an Indian actress who appears in Bollywood films. During her career Kapoor has been noted for her performances in a range of film genres, from contemporary romantic dramas to comedies, period films to major Bollywood productions and less-publicised independent films.
Born into a family where her parents, Randhir Kapoor and Babita, and elder sister Karisma were actors, Kapoor faced the media spotlight at a young age but did not make her acting debut until the 2000 film Refugee. Her melodrama Kabhi Khushi Kabhie Gham... became India's highest-grossing film in the overseas market in 2001, and is one of her greatest commercial successes to date. After receiving negative reviews for a series of repetitive roles, Kapoor accepted more demanding parts to avoid being typecast and was recognised by critics for displaying greater versatility as an actress. Her portrayal of a sex worker in Chameli (2004) proved to be the turning point in her career, and she was later noted for her performances in the critically acclaimed films Dev (2004) and Omkara (2006). She went on to play the lead female role in the Imtiaz Ali-directed romantic comedy Jab We Met (2007, for which she received the Filmfare Award for Best Actress) and the drama 3 Idiots (2009, the highest-grossing Bollywood film of all time). These accomplishments have established her as a leading actress of Hindi cinema.
Influenced by her sister Karisma and Bollywood actresses Nargis and Meena Kumari, Kapoor's off-screen life is the subject of widespread media coverage in India. She is known for being publicly outspoken and assertive, and is recognized for her contributions to the film industry though her fashion style and her film roles (both of which have made her a trend-setter for young women). In addition to film acting, Kapoor is a stage performer and has launched her own clothing line (in association with retail chain Globus). Following a high-profile relationship with actor Shahid Kapoor, she married actor Saif Ali Khan in October 2012.
Born in Mumbai, India, on 21 September 1980 into the Kapoor film family, Kapoor is the younger daughter of actors Randhir Kapoor and Babita (née Shivdasani);her elder sister Karisma is also an actress. Often informally referred to as Bebo,she is the granddaughter of actor and filmmaker Raj Kapoor and niece of actor Rishi Kapoor. According to Kapoor, the name "Kareena" was derived from the book Anna Karenina, which her mother read while she was pregnant with her.She is of Punjabi descent on her father's side,and on her mother's side she is Sindhi.
As a child she had strong aspirations to become an actress, and was particularly inspired by the films of Bollywood actresses Nargis and Meena Kumari.Kapoor, who describes herself as a "very naughty [and] spoilt child", would regularly dress up in her mother's clothes and perform in front of the mirror.
Despite her family background, her father disapproved of women entering the acting profession because he believed it conflicted with the traditional maternal duties and responsibility of women in the family.This led to a conflict between her parents, and resulted in Kapoor's mother leaving with her daughters.After her parents' separation she was raised in Lokhandwala by her mother, who worked at several jobs to support her daughters until Karisma debuted as an actress in 1991.In an interview with Vir Sanghvi, Kapoor said that growing up in a household filled with women helped her become strong and independent.Following her parents' reconciliation in October 2007,Kapoor explained that they "were never officially divorced ... [but] ... liv[ed] separately.
Asked about her relationship with her father, Kapoor remarked "My father is ... an important factor in my life. [Al]though we did not see him often in our initial years, we are a family now".
Kapoor attended Jamnabai Narsee School in Mumbai, followed by Welham Girls School (a boarding school) in Dehradun.[She later recalled, "I learnt so much from being at Welham" and described her experience there as "one of the finest parts of my life".According to Kapoor, she was a good student and received first-class honours in all subjects except mathematics.After graduating from Welham she studied commerce for two years at Mithibai College in Vile Parle (Mumbai), but later confessed that she only studied there because it was close to her family.Kapoor then registered for a three-month summer course in microcomputers at Harvard University in the United States.She later developed an interest in law, and enrolled at the Government Law College in Churchgate; during this period, she became immersed in law books and developed a long-lasting passion for reading.However, after completing one year at Churchgate Kapoor decided to return to her initial plan to become an actress.She began training at an acting institute in Andheri mentored by Kishore Namit Kapoor, a member of the Film and Television Institute of India (FTII).
Kapoor was initially cast to make her debut opposite Hrithik Roshan in Rakesh Roshan's Kaho Naa... Pyaar Hai (2000). Several days into the filming, however, she abandoned the project and later explained "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".
She made her debut later that year in J.P. Dutta's war drama Refugee, alongside Abhishek Bachchan. Set during the Indo-Pakistani war of 1971, the film centers on a man (known simply as "Refugee") who illegally transports civilians back and forth across the border. Kapoor portrayed Naaz, a Bangladeshi girl who falls in love with the refugee while illegally migrating to Pakistan with her family. Her performance was acclaimed by critics; Taran Adarsh of Bollywood Hungama wrote that 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 is no denying the fact that she is a natural performer who is very camera friendly."On the experience of making her first film, she described it as "...tough ... [but] also a great learning experience."Refugee became the fifth-highest-grossing film in India in 2000, and Kapoor's performance earned her the Filmfare Award for Best Female Debut.
In 2001 Kapoor appeared opposite Tusshar Kapoor in the romantic drama Mujhe Kucch Kehna Hai, which became one of the highest-earning films of the year.A review of her performance in The Hindu noted that she was "definitely the actress to watch out for, if her debut with Abhishek in Refugee and now Mujhe Kucch Kehna Hai are any indication. Kareena shines throughout the flick, with the grace of a seasoned sizzler already".She next starred in Subhash Ghai's family drama Yaadein alongside Jackie Shroff and Hrithik Roshan. The drama centers on the character of Raj Singh Puri, a middle-class man, and his daughters' marriages. Kapoor played the youngest daughter (and Roshan's love interest), Isha Singh Puri. The film received negative reviews, and was unsuccessful at the box office.Kapoor then appeared in the Abbas-Mustan thriller Ajnabee. The feature was adapted from the 1992 American thriller Consenting Adults,and was a moderate box-office success in India.
Later that year Kapoor played the female lead in Santosh Sivan's period epic Asoka, a partly fictionalised account of the life of Ashoka the Great. It was widely screened across the United Kingdom and North America, and was selected for the Venice and 2001 Toronto International Film Festivals.Featured opposite Shahrukh Khan (who played Ashoka), Kapoor portrayed Kaurwaki—a Kalingan princess, with whom Ashoka falls in love—and received her first Filmfare Best Actress nomination.While the film received generally-positive reviews, Kapoor's performance received mixed reactions from critics. Rediff.com concluded, "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".
Kapoor's final release of 2001 was Kabhi Khushi Kabhie Gham..., a melodrama in which she was part of an ensemble cast which included Amitabh Bachchan, Jaya Bachchan, Shahrukh Khan, Kajol and Hrithik Roshan. Directed by Karan Johar, the film was a major financial success; it became India's second highest-grossing film of the year and Kapoor's highest-grossing film to that point. It also became one of the biggest Bollywood success of all time in the overseas market, earning over 1,000 million (US$18.9 million) worldwide.Kapoor's performance as Poo (a good-natured, superficial girl) was described by Taran Adarsh as "one of the main highlights of the film",and earned her a Filmfare Best Supporting Actress nomination.
During 2002 and 2003, Kapoor experienced a setback in her career. She was in six films—Mujhse Dosti Karoge!, Jeena Sirf Merre Liye, Talaash: The Hunt Begins..., Khushi, Main Prem Ki Diwani Hoon, and the four-hour war epic LOC Kargil—all of which were critically (and commercially) unsuccessful in India.Kapoor's performances were cited by critics as unoriginal and repetitive, with little inspiration.They expressed concern that she was becoming typecast, but these negative reviews motivated her to improve as an actress by accepting more demanding roles.
