BollyCurry gathers its readers today to join the birthday celebrations of the talented and beautiful actress, Kareena Kapoor Khan alongside Bollywood's renowned 'Bad Man', Gulshan Grover.
Khan
was born into a film family in Mumbai, to yesteryear actors Randhyir
Kapoor and Babita. She's the younger sister of actress Karisma
Kapoor, granddaughter of the late actor and filmmaker Raj Kapoor,
niece of actor Rishi Kapoor and cousin-sister of actors Ranbir Kapoor
and Armaan Jain. The gorgeous Khan attended Jamnabai Narsee School in
Mumbai, followed by Welham Girls' School in Dehradun. She
discontinued her degree course from Mithibai College in order to
study Law from Government Law College, Mumbai and after an year, the lazy
student started her training at an acting institute to pursue a
career in acting. The pretty lass is now happily married to the Chote Pataudi
Nawaab, Saif Ali Khan.
Kapoor not only managed to sway awards, but also critical
acclaim for her work and immense love from the audience. Her most
memorable works till date include her debut movie Refugee (2000), Chameli
(2004), Omkara (2006), Jab We Met (2007) and 3
Idiots (2009). In Refugee, the
stunning Diva played the character of Nazneen Ahmed, a young
Bangladeshi girl who falls in love with Refugee, an Indian who
helps terrorists unknowingly. Although the movie failed at the Box
Office, Khan's performance was applauded by the critics and she won
the Filmfare Award for Best Female Debut. Khan's memorable
performance in Chameli (2004) marked a turning point
of her career. She played the role of Chameli, a prostitute who is
bold, tough and a street-smart woman. Her performance was highly
applauded by the critics and audience and she also won a Filmfare
Award for Special Performance.
Khan then thrilled everyone when she played the role of Dolly Mishra, a playful and innocent girl who's smitten by Omi (Ajay Devgn), in Omkara (2006) opposite Ajay Devgn and hubby, Saif Ali Khan. She further won a Filmfare Critics Award of the Best Actress for it. Khan then excited everyone with Imtiaz Ali's Jab We Met (2007), where she played the role of a fesity, lively and talktive Sikhni of Bathinda, Geet Dhillon. She proved her versatility yet again when she tried her hands at comedy and inspired everyone with her performance as Pia in the all-time blockbuster 3 Idiots (2009) opposite Amir Khan.
