Who is Kareena Kapoor

Kareena Kapoor (born September 21, 1980) nicknamed "Bebo" is an award-winning prominent Indian actress who appears in Bollywood movies.

Making her acting debut with J.P. Dutta's Refugee (2000), for which she won a Filmfare Best Female Debut Award, Kapoor had her first commercial success with her second release, Mujhe Kucch Kehna Hai (2001). Her performance as a cosmetic beauty in Karan Johar's melodramatic Kabhi Khushi Kabhie Gham, which also released that year, was praised and the film turned out to be her biggest commercial success to date. Following this, Kapoor went on to star in several films which were unsuccessful at the box office and encountered several negative reviews and criticisms for becoming typecast. Trying to reinvent her image, Kapoor took on more serious characters and diverse roles, and was soon recognized for her versatility as an actress.

Her portrayal of a sex-worker in Sudhir Mishra's Chameli (2004) proved to be the turning point in her career and won her the Filmfare Special Performance Award. Following this, she was recognized for her performances in critically acclaimed films like Dev (2004) and Omkara (2006), which earned her two Filmfare Critics Award for Best Actress. Despite not having that many hits to her credit, Kapoor has established herself as one of the leading actresses of Bollywood.
