Kareena Kapoor
Kareena Kapoor, often informally referred to as Bebo, is an Indian film actress who appears in Bollywood films. Born into a film family where both her parents, Randhir Kapoor and Babita, and her elder sister Karisma were actors, Kapoor faced the media spotlight from a very young age. However, she did not make her acting debut until the 2000 film Refugee (alongside Abhishek Bachchan in his film debut), which earned her the Filmfare Best Female Debut Award. Her melodrama Kabhi Kushi Kabhie Gham became India's highest grossing film in the overseas market in 2001.
After receiving negative reviews for a series of repetitive roles between 2002 and 2003, Kapoor accepted more demanding roles to avoid being typecast, and consequently was recognized by critics for displaying greater versatility between 2004 and 2006. Her portrayal of a sex worker in Chameli (2004) proved to be the turning point in her career and garnered her the Filmfare Special Performance Award. She later received two Critics Awards for Best Actress at the Filmfare ceremony for her performances in the critically acclaimed Dev (2004) and Omkara (2006).
In 2007, Kapoor earned a Filmfare Best Actress Award for her performance in the Imtiaz Ali directed romantic comedy film, Jab We Met. In 2010 She won the Filmfare Award for Best Supporting Actress for her role in We Are Family. She has been involved in several box office hits, and also in several less commercial ventures. The 2009 award darling 3 Idiots and 2015's Bajrangi Bhaijaan are her biggest commercial success to date.
Although the box office earnings of her films have varied considerably, Kapoor has established herself as one of the leading contemporary actresses in the Hindi film industry. Kapoor's off-screen life is subject to wide media coverage in India with frequent press coverage of her and her husband, actor Saif Ali Khan.
