| KAREENA KAPOOR KHAN |
Born into a film family in Mumbai on 21 September 1980, Kapoor is the younger daughter of Randhir Kapoor and Babita Shivdasani.her elder sister Karisma is also an actress. Kareena Kapoor 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.
Describing herself as a "very naughty and spoilt child", Kapoor's exposure to films from a young age kindled her interest in acting. Despite her family background, her father disapproved of women entering films 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 they separated. She was then raised by her mother, who worked several jobs to support her daughters until Karisma debuted as an actress in 1991. After living separately for several years, her parents reconciled in October 2007. Asked about her relationship with her father, Kapoor remarked, "My father is an important factor in my life. 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. 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). 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 developed a long-lasting passion for reading. However, after completing one year at Churchgate, Kapoor decided to pursue her interest to become an actress. She began training at an acting institute in Mumbai mentored by Kishore Namit Kapoor, a member of the Film and Television Institute of India (FTII).

While training at the institute, director Rakesh Roshan offered Kapoor to make her debut opposite his son, Hrithik Roshan in "Kaho Naa Pyaar Hai" (2000). Several days into the filming, however she abandoned the project. Kapoor later explained that she had benefited by not doing the film since more prominence was given to the director's son. She debuted later that year alongside Abhishek Bachchan in J. P. Dutta's war drama Refugee. Set during the Indo-Pakistani war of 1971, the film centers on a man who illegally transports civilians back and forth across the border. Kapoor portrayed Naaz, a Bangladeshi girl who falls in love with Bachchan's character 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 acting in her first film, Kapoor described it as "tough" but also a great learning experience. "Refugee" was a moderate box-office success in India and Kapoor's performance earned her the Filmfare Award for Best Female Debut.
For her second release, Kapoor was paired opposite Tusshar Kapoor in Satish Kaushik's box office success "Mujhe Kucch Kehna Hai". A review 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". 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.
Later that year, she was cast as the female lead in Santosh Sivan's period epic "Asoka" (2001), a partly fictionalised account of the life of Ashoka—an Indian emperor of the Maurya Dynasty. 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 Kalingga princess, with whom Ashoka falls in love—and received her first nomination for Best Actress at the Filmfare Awards. While the film received generally positive reviews, Kapoor's performance received mixed reactions from critics. Rediff.com concluded that her presence in the film was primarily used for aesthetic purposes.
Kapoor's final release of 2001 was "Kabhi Khushi Kabhie Gham", a melodrama in which she was part of an ensemble cast that 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 INR100 crore (US$18.2 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 starred 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. Critics described Kapoor's performances as unoriginal and repetitive, with little inspiration, they expressed concern that she was becoming typecast. These negative reviews motivated her to accept more challenging roles.

2004–2006: Critical acclaim
The year 2004 marked Kapoor's work in a series of films that would bring her critical acclaim under the direction of Sudhir Mishra. Kapoor essayed the role of a golden-hearted prostitute in "Chameli".
The film relates the story of a young prostitute who meets with a widowed investment banker (played by Rahul Bose), and follows the development of their relationship as they share their experiences in life.
When Kapoor was initially offered the film she refused it, explaining that she would be uncomfortable in the role. However, when Mishra approached her for the second time, she agreed, she now viewed it as an opportunity to demonstrate her acting range.
To prepare for the role, she visited several of Mumbai's red-light districts at night to study the mannerisms of sex workers and the way they dressed. Chameli was well received by critics and the film marked a significant turning point in her career, earning Kapoor the Filmfare Special Performance Award. Indiatimes praised her "intuitive brilliance" and stated that she had exceeded all expectations. Rediff.com expressed concern that they found her portrayal unconvincing and excessively stereotypical, describing her as "sounding more like a teenager playacting than a brash, hardened streetwalker" and comparing her mannerisms to a caricature.
Kapoor next co-starred in Mani Ratnam's bilingual project "Yuva" alongside Ajay Devgan, Abhishek Bachchan, Vivek Oberoi, Rani Mukerji and Esha Deol. The film, consisting of three chapters, tells the story of six individuals linked by a car accident. Kapoor is featured in the third chapter as Oberoi's love interest (Mira, a witty young woman). In a Times of India review film critic Subhash K Jha described her role as "fey and insubstantial", but further stated that "she turns these character traits to her own advantage to create a girl who is at once enigmatic and all-there".
She then appeared alongside Amitabh Bachchan and Fardeen Khan in Govind Nihalani's critically acclaimed film "Dev", which revolved around the 2002 Hindu-Muslim riots in the Indian state of Gujarat. Kapoor's role was that of a Muslim victim named Aaliya, modelled after Zaheera Sheikh (a key witness in Vadodara's Best Bakery case). It earned her a Filmfare Critics Award for Best Actress and nominations for Best Actress at various award ceremonies. Taran Adarsh noted that she was "first-rate" and singled out her scene with Bachchan's character when the latter asks for witnesses to come forward.
Shortly afterwards, Kapoor was cast for the first time as a villain in the thriller "Fida". Set against the backdrop of the Mumbai underworld, the film follows the story of an online heist in which her character, Neha Mehra, becomes involved. During the filming of Fida Kapoor began a romantic relationship with co-actor Shahid Kapoor, whom she later described as having "a major positive influence in my life". Although the film was unsuccessful at the box office,Kapoor received positive reviews for her performance, and some critics noted a distinct progression from her earlier roles. Her subsequent releases that year included Abbas-Mustan's thriller "Aitraaz" and Priyadarshan's comedy "Hulchul", both of which did well at the Indian box office.
Following the success of her last two releases, she was cast as the protagonist of the 2005 drama Bewafaa. The feature received mostly negative reviews, and Kapoor's portrayal of Anjali Sahai (an unfaithful woman) was not well received. Nikhat Kazmi of Indiatimes believed that to become a serious actress Kapoor was embodying a maturer, more-jaded character beyond her years in "Bewafaa". She then starred in Priyadarshan's romantic drama "Kyon Ki", a film which relates the love story of a mentally ill patient (played by Salman Khan) and his physician (played by Kapoor). The film was a box-office failure. however, Kapoor's performance was generally well received by critics (with the BBC describing her as "a pure natural").
In 2006, Kapoor appeared in three films. She first starred in the thriller "36 China Town", followed by the comedy "Chup Chup Ke", both were moderately successful. She next portrayed the character of Desdemona in "Omkara", the Hindi adaptation of William Shakespeare's Othello. Directed by Vishal Bhardwaj, the film is a tragedy of sexual jealousy set against the backdrop of the political system in Uttar Pradesh. It premiered at the 2006 Cannes Film Festival and was screened at the Cairo International Film Festival. Omkara was received positively by critics, and Kapoor's portrayal earned her a fourth Filmfare Award and first Screen Award. In a 2010 retrospective of the "Top 80 Iconic Performances" of Hindi cinema, Filmfare wrote that she was "brilliant" and praised her ability to "effortless[ly]" convey the various emotions her character went through. Kapoor considered her role in Omkara as a "new benchmark" in her career, and compared her portrayal of Dolly with her own evolving maturity as a woman.
Following Omkara Kapoor took a short break from acting, as she felt that "nothing [was] challenging enough for me to say yes". In an interview with The Times of India Kapoor commented, "In my initial years in the industry, I pushed myself to do a lot of work because I was greedy. I did some films—which I now regret—purely for the money. Today, I want to do selective films.

Kapoor returned to film as the female protagonist Geet Dhillon, a vivacious Sikh girl with a zest for life, in the Imtiaz Ali-directed romantic comedy "Jab We Met" (2007). Featured opposite Shahid Kapoor. the film relates the story of two people with contrasting personalities who meet on a train and eventually fall in love.
The film was received favourably by critics and became successful at the box office with gross earnings of Rs. 30.25 crore (US$ 5.51 million). Kapoor won several awards for her performance, including her second Screen Award and the Filmfare Award for Best Actress.
Rajeev Masand of 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". While shooting for Jab We Met, Kapoor and Shahid ended their three-year relationship. Asked in Mumbai Mirror about their well-publicised breakup, she stated "I hold him in utmost regard, and I hope one day we could be good friends. He is a great guy".
The following year, Kapoor co-starred with Akshay Kumar, Saif Ali Khan and Anil Kapoor in Vijay Krishna Acharya's action-thriller "Tashan". Although a poll (conducted by Bollywood Hungama) named it the most anticipated release of the year, the film was a commercial and critical failure. She next provided her voice for the character of Laila, the love interest of a street dog named Romeo, in the Yash Raj Films and Walt Disney Pictures animated film "Roadside Romeo" (2008). In preparation for the role, Kapoor viewed several Hollywood animated films to analyse how actors deliver their dialogue.
She then appeared in Rohit Shetty's comedy "Golmaal Returns", the sequel to the 2006 film Golmaal: Fun Unlimited. Part of an ensemble cast which included Ajay Devgan, Arshad Warsi and Tusshar Kapoor, Kapoor played a mistrustful wife who believed her husband was unfaithful. The film had an ambivalent reception from critics, and Kapoor received mixed reviews. The Indian Express believed the screenplay was derivative, concluding: "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". Golmaal Returns was a financial success with global revenues of Rs. 79.25 crore (US$ 14.42 million).
In 2009, Kapoor was cast as Simrita Rai (opposite Akshay Kumar) in Sabbir Khan's battle-of-the-sexes comedy "Kambakkht Ishq". Set in Los Angeles, it was the first Indian film to be shot at Universal Studios and featured cameo appearances by Hollywood actors. The film was poorly received by critics but became an economic success, earning over Rs. 84 crore (US$ 15.29 million) worldwide. a review in The Times of India described Kapoor's performance as "a complete let-down" and "unconvincing". She next played the leading lady in the dramatic thriller "Kurbaan", alongside Saif Ali Khan and Vivek Oberoi. The film (which marked the directorial debut of Rensil D'Silva) featured Kapoor as Avantika Ahuja, a woman who is confined to house arrest after discovering that her husband is a terrorist. Describing the film as "an emotionally draining experience", Kapoor explained that it was difficult to disconnect from her character. The film was critically praised, and Kapoor received her fourth Filmfare Best Actress nomination. According to Subhash K Jha, "Kurbaan belongs to Kareena Kapoor. In her most consistently pitched performance to date she pulls out all stops to play a betrayed wife with splendid sensitivity. Kareena accommodates her radiant beauty into an utterly credible character and performance. At her best, Kareena is incomparable. She proves it in Kurbaan".
Kapoor's final release of the year was Rajkumar Hirani's drama "3 Idiots", a film loosely based on the novel Five Point Someone by Chetan Bhagat. Co-starring alongside Aamir Khan, R. Madhavan and Sharman Joshi, Kapoor played Pia (a medical student and Khan's love interest). The film received critical acclaim and emerged as the highest-grossing Bollywood film of all time, grossing Rs. 202.57 crore (US$ 36.87 million) in India. It also did well internationally, earning over Rs. 108 crore (US$ 19.66 million), the biggest Bollywood success ever in the overseas market. The Deccan Herald opined that Kapoor "brings a dollop of sunshine and feminine grace to an otherwise masculine tale. She is so spunky and spontaneous you wish there was room for more of her". During the 55th Filmfare Awards, Kapoor received another Best Actress nomination for her role.
In 2010 Kapoor appeared in the romantic comedy "Milenge Milenge", a production delayed since 2005. The feature garnered negative reviews and poor box-office returns. Kapoor's role was small, and not well received. She next took a supporting role as career-oriented Shreya Arora in "We Are Family", the Hindi adaptation of the 1998 Hollywood release Stepmom. Before working on the project, Kapoor explained that she did not want to watch the original film because she wanted to "interpret the role in my own style". Reaction to the film was lukewarm, but Kapoor's performance drew positive reviews and ultimately won her the Filmfare Award for Best Supporting Actress. Priyanka Roy of The Telegraph wrote, Kapoor "breathes life and a new-found maturity into what is largely a uni-dimensional character lacking depth".[62] At the end of the year, she reunited with director Rohit Shetty for his sequel to the 2008 release Golmaal Returns. Although (like its predecessor) the film received mixed reviews it was the most successful entry in the Golmaal series, earning more than Rs. 100 crore (US$ 18.2 million) domestically. For her portrayal of the tomboy Daboo, Kapoor received Best Actress nominations at various award ceremonies (including Filmfare).
Kapoor had further success in 2011 as the love interest of Salman Khan's character in the romantic drama "Bodyguard", a remake of the 2010 Malayalam film of the same name. The film was not well received by critics, though became a financial success, with a domestic total of Rs. 140.95 crore (US$ 25.65 million)—India's highest-earning film of the year. A review in Mint dismissed Kapoor's role as the "sacrificial, ornamental and submissive female". Mid Day referred to her as "bright", arguing that she "actually manages to bring her caricature of a role alive". She next appeared in Anubhav Sinha's science fiction film "Ra.One" with Shahrukh Khan. The film (which follows the story of a London-based video-game designer who creates the strongest villain, only to later realize that it has escaped from the game) saw the use of several visual effects never before seen in Bollywood, and became the most expensive Hindi film ever produced. Despite garnering mixed reviews, Ra.One became one of the biggest earners of the year with a worldwide total of over Rs. 200 crore (US$ 36.4 million), and Kapoor's fourth major commercial success in three years.

In an interview with The Times of India, Kapoor explained that she was drawn to her character's qualities: "Riana knows what she is doing. Even though she does not have a house or a job, she is a positive person very similar to the way I am". The film received positive reviews and was an economic success, grossing a total of Rs. 53 crore (US$ 9.65 million) in India and abroad.
The Hollywood Reporter found her "endearingly natural". Sukanya Verma of Rediff.com asserted that "after doing ornamental roles in films like Bodyguard and Ra.One, it is nice to see the spunky actress in her element again since Jab We Met. Though vivacious, her Riana isn't a child-woman like Geet but a free-spirited, unflappable adult armed with plucky impulses and scrumptious smile that helps Rahul come-of-age and Ek Main Aur Ekk Tu worth a helping".
Kapoor was next cast as the protagonist of Madhur Bhandarkar's "Heroine", a drama revolving around the Bollywood film industry. Originally the first choice for the role, Kapoor was hesitant to take on the project when Bhandarkar approached her with the film's initial concept. With reservations about the criticism her character might evoke, she was replaced by Aishwarya Rai. Days after production began, Rai left the film (due to her pregnancy) and Bhandarkar re-approached Kapoor with the film. When the director reinforced his faith in her, she agreed to do the film after receiving the completed script. Kapoor (who described her character of Mahi Arora—a fading star—as "bipolar and schizophrenic") refrained from taking on any other projects, since she found Heroine "very aggressive and tiring". Reviewers, while being generally negative of the film, were appreciative of Kapoor's performance. Bollywood Hungama observed it as her best work to date noting that "her character is inconsistent". Kareena furnishes the heroine's character with a rare vulnerability and an exceptional inner life She later received Best Actress nominations at the annual Apsara, Filmfare, Screen and Stardust Award ceremonies.
Following the release of Heroine, Kapoor married actor Saif Ali Khan on 16 October 2012. Described as "India's wedding and social event of the year" by The Wall Street Journal,it consisted of a five-day celebration period beginning with a pre-wedding bash at Kapoor's residence followed by a registered marriage in the presence of family and close friends. A reception was later held at the Taj Mahal Palace & Tower hotel in Mumbai and the Lutyens Bungalow Zone in Delhi.
At the end of the year, she co-starred alongside Aamir Khan and Rani Mukerji as the "tantalisingly seductive prostitute" Rosie, in Reema Kagti's crime mystery "Talaash: The Answer Lies Within". Set against the backdrop of Mumbai's red-light districts, it follows the travails of its personnel and principal, Inspector Surjan Singh Shekhawat (Khan) who is assigned the duty of solving a mysterious car accident. The film generated predominantly positive reviews with Kapoor being praised in particular. The Telegraph described her performance as "naughty [and] nonchalan[t]," played with "an unseen mix of oomph and emotion that becomes the [film's] centrepiece". Talaash eventually emerged as a financial success with global revenues of Rs. 174 crore (US$ 31.67 million). In February 2013, Kapoor commenced filming for two projects: Prakash Jha's political drama "Satyagraha" and Punit Malhotra's romantic drama "Gori Tere Pyaar Mein". To prepare for her character (modelled after journalist Christiane Amanpour) in Satyagraha, Kapoor was asked by Jha to familiarize herself with the latest global affairs and watch several news documentaries.
