Kareena Kapoor was born on September 21st 1980 in one of the most the famous Bollywood families, ‘The Kapoor Khandan’. Her parents Randhir Kapoor and Babita as well as sister sister Karisma Kapoor are all known names in the Bollywood fraternity.  Legendry showman Raj Kapoor was her grandfather. Kareena attended Jamnabai Narsee School in Mumbai and after her parents got separated she was sent to Dehradun to attend Welham Girls’ boarding school. As a kid, Kareena would accompany sister Karisma on the sets, but was never interested in movies. After completing high school, Kareena headed straight to Harvard to attend the summer school but returned to India to pursue a career as an actress. Kareena’s debut movie was JP Dutta’s ‘Refugee’ opposite Abhishek Bachchan. Kareena was so magnetic on screen that she left a great impact on the audiences in her debut movie.

After ‘Refugee’, Kareena gave three superhits, ‘Mujhe Kuch Kehna Hai’, ‘Ajnabee’ and ‘Kabhi Khushi Kabhi Gham’. Kareena was on a roll in the beginning of her career unlike sister Karisma, who had to struggle to make it to the top. Kareena however; had a career setback in 2002 and 2003 when all her movies started bombing at the box-office. Kareena tried to prove her talent by playing a prostitute in the parallel cinema movie ‘Chameli’ which released in 2004; it was followed by ‘Yuva’ and ‘Dev’ but none of the movies do any good for this classy actress. Kareena, who met Shahid Kapoor during the making of ‘Fida’, fell in love with the young actor and started dating him. Second half of 2004 got in some relief for Kareena as she had two hits, Abbas-Mastan’s ‘Aitraaz’ and Priyadarshan’s ‘Hulchul’. Kareena has also done movies with Shahid, like ‘Fida’ which was a flop, but ‘36 Chinatown’ and ‘Chup Chup Ke’ were big hits. In 2006, Kareena won admiration for her role in ‘Omkara’. Kareena is the brand ambassadress for big brands like Lux, Pepsi, Citizen Watch and Garnier Nutrisse hair products. Kareena is one of the highest paid actresses in Bollywood and charges on an average $800,000 per movie. Kareena and her boyfriend Shahid were also a part of the World tour ‘Rockstars’ in 2006.
