Kareena kapoor
Kareena Kapoor, nicknamed
“Bebo” is an Indian actress who appears in Bollywood movies. She was born
on September 21, 1980 in Mumbai, Maharashtra, India and is currently one
of the most successful Bollywood actresses in the industry.
Kareena had planned to debut in Rakesh Roshan’s Kaho Naa… Pyaar Hai but
left the project a few days into the filming.
She made her debut in J.P. Dutta’s Refugee in 2000 with Abhishek Bachchan
and won critical acclaim for portraying the role of a Pakistani girl. The
role earned her an award for Filmfare Award for Best Debut (Female). In
2001, films like Ajnabee and Asoka followed for her which did indifferent
business at the box office. Her breakthrough performance of a princes in
the latter was acclaimed and earned her a Filmfare nomination for Best
Actress. However, the success of her films Mujhe Kucch Kehna Hai and Kabhi
Khushi Kabhie Gham established her as one of the industry’s most bankable
stars and put her on Bollywood’s A-list.
Kapoor was in great demand after these successes and signed many new
movies but none became the wild success of which producers dreamt off.
Then the critical success of the 2004 film Chameli, where she played the
role of a prostitute made critics take notice of her once again. Her
performance in the film earned her the Filmfare Special Performance Award.
In the same year, she also won the Filmfare Critics Award for Best
Performance for her work in the film Dev. Her other films in 2004 included
the moderately successful Aitraaz and the semi-hit Hulchul.
In 2006, she appeared in the above average 36 China Town, and the average
Chup Chup Ke. Her performance in an Indian adaptation of William
Shakespeare’s Othello, Omkara was praised from critics as well as the
audiences. Her latest release, Don - The Chase Begins Again has done
extremely well at the box office. She won favorable reviews both for her
acting and her dancing in her item number.
Kapoor has joined several touring stage shows throughout the years. Her
latest tour, the Rockstars Concert of May 2006, in which she performed
alongside Salman Khan, Zayed Khan, John Abraham, Shahid Kapoor, Esha Deol
and Mallika Sherawat turned out to be a huge success overseas.
