Early Life

Born on 21 September 1980 in Mumbai, Kareena Kapoor, often informally called ‘Bebo,’ is the younger daughter of Randhir Kapoor and Babita. Her elder sister, Karisma, is also an actress. She comes from a prominent Bollywood family, with her paternal grandfather being actor-filmmaker Raj Kapoor and maternal grandfather being actor Hari Shivdasani. She also has connections to the legendary Prithviraj Kapoor through her great-grandfather. Her uncle was the well-known actor Rishi Kapoor, and her cousin is the popular actor Ranbir Kapoor.

Kareena’s name was inspired by the book Anna Karenina, which her mother read during pregnancy. She is of Punjabi Hindu descent from her father’s side and of Sindhi Hindu and British descent from her mother’s side.

As a child, Kareena was naughty and spoiled, fascinated by films from an early age. Actresses like Nargis and Meena Kumari were significant influences on her. Despite her family’s film background, her father initially disapproved of women entering the film industry due to traditional beliefs. This led to her parents’ separation, although they later reconciled.

Kareena attended Jamnabai Narsee School in Mumbai and later Welham Girls’ School in Dehradun. While she wasn’t initially inclined towards academics, she eventually returned to Mumbai, studied commerce at Mithibai College, and even took a summer course in microcomputers at Harvard. Despite enrolling at the Government Law College, Mumbai, and developing an interest in law, she decided to pursue acting, training at an institute in Mumbai..

Career

Coming from a family deeply rooted in Indian cinema, Kareena has a significant connection to legendary figures like Raj Kapoor and Prithviraj Kapoor. Despite her family’s film background, Kareena faced challenges due to traditional beliefs about women in cinema. However, her passion for acting led her to train at an institute in Mumbai under Kishore Namit Kapoor.

In the early 2000s, Kareena’s journey in Bollywood began with the film “Refugee” alongside Abhishek Bachchan, Suniel Shetty, Anupam Kher, Jackie Shroff & Kulbhushan Kharbanda.

In 2004, Kapoor took on a villainous role in the thriller “Fida,” showcasing her versatility. She also starred in “Aitraaz,” playing a crucial role in the courtroom sequence. Additionally, “Hulchul” marked her first commercial success in three years. However, “Bewafaa” received criticism, with Kapoor portrayed as embodying a more mature character.
