Kareena Kapoor Khan is the queen of sass. From actor to talk show host, from a mother to now author, reel to real, Kareena has played many roles. On her birthday, we take a look at some of Kareena's films, that made us feel like there's a bit of her in all of us.
Over 20 years since the film released, Kareena as 'Poo' in K3G is still one of Bollywood's most popular characters. Poo loved herself, above everything else, and gave us self-love goals lie none other.
Poo had no qualms about making it clear what she wanted in men.
Poo was kabhi sexy, kabhi sanskaari…even with all her glam quotient, she treasured the values that bound her family together.
When Jab We Met released in 2007, every girl thought there was a little bit of Geet in her.
Geet was a firecracker of a girl, who loved to talk.
While she came across as the fiesty ‘Bhatinda ki Sikhni’, there was something very vulnerable about Geet too.
Geet was utterly flawed and eternally human, just like all of us. She taught us that sometimes life doesn’t go your way and it's okay to make mistakes.
Above all, Geet taught us how to love ourselves unabashedly, fiercely and without guilt.
In 2009 film 3 Idiots, Kareena played Pia, a bespectacled medical student, who was in love with Suhaas, someone who loved his wealth more than her.
She falls in love with Rancho, Aamir's character...over the course of the film....and their pair are just cuteness overload...
As events in the film move forward, many years later, Kareena all decked up in her wedding finery.....decides to risk everything to make a final dash for the man she loves.
2016 film 'Ki and Ka', directed by filmmaker R Balki, tried to challenge gender stereotypes. Kareena wore her ambition, while Arjun Kapoor wore the apron.
Kareena played Kia, a motivated, driven woman who wants to be successful in the corporate world....while Arjun Kapoor plays her stay at home partner.
Kareena Kapoor sank her teeth into a solid role, essentially telling young women to not give up on their career aspirations for the sake of marriage or family.
In Veere di wedding, Bebo plays Kalindi Puri, a strong, independent woman who confides every tiny thing in her three best friends.
Kalindi is dealing with her dysfunctional family, and goes through a roller coaster ride after she agrees to marry her boyfriend, because his family is literally smothering her with love.
Kalindi tries hard to take the demands of rituals in her stride, but swinging off a crescent moon in a spangly gown is where she draws the line.
The film was a refreshing demographic for Hindi cinema.
A story of contemporary urban, entitled but empowered women who smoke, drink, swear and speak about sex openly.
The film showed that womanhood is not all about being virtuous. These four women are headstrong, free-spirited yet confused and vulnerable when it comes to the choices they make....just like all of us.
