Happy Birthday, Bebola! Hope you had fun at your birthday party. Great pictures and a very nice cake, but a bit too small. What’s the point of buying birthday cake if you can’t eat it for the next 3 days or so? The best size would be a 1kg or more birthday cake that after cutting for the first time, you cut it into small pieces and put them in non-visible containers and keep them hidden in different parts of the fridge so that it can last longer than 3 days!
Happy Birthday, Kareena Kapoor!
Love this picture of you still not forgetting to pout and try to look hot while trying to strangle Saif! This is probably what happens when you are married for so long.
How can you talk about Kareena Kapoor without mentioning overacting? She is Bollywood’s over acting ki dukan of our generation.
Bebola is not all about over acting, though. With good directors and characters, she managed to come out as a decent actor onscreen:
Best Performances of Kareena Kapoor
Talaash
- Not the Khiladi Kumar one.
Jab We Met
Omkara
Dev
- Kareena made her singing debut in ‘Dev’
Chameli
Let’s not also forget ‘Udta Punjab’, ’36 China Town’, and ‘Aitraaz’. Seeing this list now makes it clear that her best work is when she does not act like an over-energised bunny onscreen!
Speaking of over-energised bunny, we still wonder how did the director of ‘Main Prem Ki Diwani Hoon’ not stop Bebo when she was over acting? Not just Bebo, even Hrithik was over acting!
What kind of director was that? Well, he does look like a soft guy so it’s not really a wonder. While checking ‘Main Prem Ki Diwani Hoon’ on IMDB, guess what was on the trivia page:
Bebo’s overacting started in ‘Kabhi Khushi Kabhie Gham…’ where she dived so deep into imitating Archana Puran Singh that she couldn’t shake off that character for years to come. You know Archana, she was in ‘Kuch Kuch Hota Hai’ as Ms. Briganza:
Her character in ‘Kabhi Khushi Kabhie Gham…’ was slightly inspired by a real life situation of hers or should we say friendship:
She is one of those famous girls, who need to have their lesser-known friends around just to make them feel important. Like Kebab Jo has a house full of his minions, Taylor Swift has her gang, Paris Hilton had Nicole Ritchie or Jay-Z has Beyonce!
Relationships of Kareena Kapoor
Bebo was single when she entered the industry. Then, she met Hrithik and they got along really well to the point that Bebo was praising him like if he was everything in magazines. It didn’t take long for rumours of an affair brewing to start. Sure enough, his family put a stop to the rumours by getting him married quickly and stopping the two of them from working together. See, Bebo is quite transparent. If she likes someone, she will praise him fully. She did the same to Fardeen Khan by saying they look good together because they are both good-looking! Yes, that is our Bebo: saying it like she sees it. By the way, she once said that the Kapoors are known to have no brains!
She got interested in Shahid and then, started chasing him. They started working together in ‘Fida’ and that’s where their dating life together started. All was fine until that MMS of them making out was leaked by a shopkeeper, who was reparing Shahid’s phone. They were together for a long time though, through thick and thin. But then again, Bebo is like that. She is loyal and never gives up. Shahid was the one, who broke up with her after 5 years of being together. Kareena was shooting ‘Tashan’ and got lusty after she saw Saifu suntanning shirtless by the pool. True Story! They have been together since and now have a son, Taimur; their new shinning light or the shinning light of their celebrity life.
Kareena and her small family, her mother and sister
Back then when she made her debut, she appeared in magazines talking about how she was not like her sister. She is brutally honest and will call a spade, a spade. One thing that she said that stayed with us till today is how she remembered seeing her sister coming back from film sets and crying and her mother crying with her. We don’t remember why or whether she said why. Probably it was in relation to how the industry can be cruel. Bebo has always acknowledged that she had an easy beginning in Bollywood because of Karishma, which is true. All of you who are wondering why they had it so hard and why Karishma had to start working in films as a teenager. When their mother Babita decided to separate from her husband Randhir, the Kapoor family was totally against her moving out and dumping her husband. Her husband was up to no good. He would not work and was getting drunk every day.
This is why the Kapoor family did not support the separation and left Babita and her daughters to fend for themselves. They are still separated to this day and have not divorced. Seeing how the Kapoor family treated Babita, Neetu Singh got an idea of how things would be for her if she left Rishi. She did want to leave him because he was a drunkard and abusive towards her, but didn’t out of fear. Karishma worked to support them and by the time Kareena made her debut, her parents were on OK term with each other. Kareena looks after both her parents financially. It’s why both sisters say the Kapoor can’t complain that they work in films when they are asked about the rumours that Kapoor ladies are not allowed to work. For the Kapoors, at the end of the day, money and fame rule the most!
3 things that stand out about Kareena Kapoor:
- She is loyal to her true friends and family.
-
She has managed to keep herself relevant in Bollywood for 18 years as a leading actress!
-
She is the sister of Karishma Kapoor, the only current sane famous Kapoor and a great actress!
Once again, Happy Birthday to Kareena Kapoor.
You know a lot of these actresses can actually be super rude and B*tchy to fans especially female fans like completely ignoring them or giving dirty looks or just saying whatever comes to mind “please don’t look at me”, “No pictures” etc while the male actor is usually pretty friendly but I must say that over the many years that I have met Bebo as a fan – back when she was dating Hrithik (oops I mean working with Hrithik) and did concerts with him, then when she did a concert with Salman and Shahid (when she was dating Shahid) and then a few times when I met her in Mumbai while she was shooting for some ad films – she’s actually ALWAYS been nice. Karishma not so much, she was too chipku to her mother and belonged to the kind of actress that felt that you had to be snobby to be a star, but Kareena despite her wtf statements and idiot sentences has generally been friendly, smiling and nice to people. I find it really quaint how she went after what her heart desired despite Saif being a divorced man with children and her being a “superstar” and it being her first marriage she went after her heart. Also I find her to be one of the luckiest people on the planet, she is so blessed she doesn’t even have to be anything other than what she is – Bebo. She’s loved by her family so much, she has a wonderful husband, a beautiful baby boy, friends that she can party with whenever she feels like it and a life of luxury. Instead of being jealous, I’ll just appreciate it!
@admin is it true that kjo banned bebo in Dharma movird after she said no to Kal ho na ho??.
@leap When Kareena was offered Kal ho na ho she quoted a higher fee than Kjo was willing to pay which miffed Kjo and he signed Preity. They had a fallout and patched up. There was no ban. She did a lot of Dharma movies after their patchup. They patched up pretty quickly unlike his fallout with Kajol.
If you really think Karishma is sane and polite then you are so so wrong. Karishma is sly she will be all good girl in public, but she is so bratty and tantrum queen when there is no one to watch. And I am saying this from my encounter with her for an event. Kareena I would say at least is not two shoes, she is what you see brat, tantrum queen and snob i honestly hate the whole kapoor clan
Amma, we said in “public”. Not all the time.
oh Gawd i couldnt stand her when she started K3G MPKDH even jab we met she was so shrill and OTT it was bizarre! but she did mature (on screen at least). i think heroine and even 3 idiots can be added to the list alongwith talaash and udta punjab. plus she is aging really well and gave the world taimur who is such a little creampuff! i really really hope he doesnt end up looking like randhir or cultivate bizarre views on eugenics like his (psycho) dad!
Also, Karishma was one of the few mainstream actresses who was super fit and toned back then amidst the juhis and madhuris before everyone became obsessed with calorie counting and abs. although i’m not sure thats been a positive development, i felt a lot happier about myself when everyone onscreen was so roly poly!
Why they are sailing the rk studio
To plan Alia rk grand shadi . Lol .
She was one of my childhood crush. Looked great in earlier movies with those chubby cheeks. Nowadays she’s just acting so desperate to stay relevant
Why is there no Kurbaan in the list of Kaееina’s best performances? this is one of the most powerful of its role, along with Talaash. Bebo is honest and calls a shovel a shovel? also funny, as Salman’s statement is a virgin. Bebo will only say what is beneficial to her. Karisma only true talent Kapoor? Well, yes, eternal replay and bulging eyes. I never liked it, unlike Bebo
Her ‘Kurbaan’s performance was nothing extra because the heat was taken off that movie as soon as New York released and became a hit a few months after. Everything in Kurbaan seemed like a deja-vu or repetition.
Karishma is not the only talent, it’s only sane famous one. Like the only famous family member of the Kapoors who know what to say and when to say and is also polite in public.
I do not agree. New York and Kurbaan are completely different films on the semantic load. but are we talking about the scenario? we are talking about performance. Performance Bebo in Kurbaan is recognized as one of the strongest in her career, her emotions and feelings were unsurpassed Is Karishma polite in public? for sure you did not read the magazines of the 90s, she was one of the most capricious and hysterical actresses who all the time feuded with rivals and wove intrigues against them
I died reading that. Cheers! Please keep the sarcasm biting and served on the regular. It’s time someone takes the piss out of B-town folks like BollywoodBasket used to.
Bollywood Basket!!! Where art thou?
The first movie of Bebo I watched was K3G and I was mesmerized by her. Not because I thought she was the best actress or the most beautiful but because of the way she lit up the screen. It was much later that I knew this is what screen presence/ star quality/x factor is. Never liked her and not a fan but can’t deny that she is the ultimate bollywood diva with great screen presence. Recently I saw her ad with Manushi and eventhough Manushi is much prettier and younger than her, Bebo stole the show when they shared the screen. I was like, damn Bebo still got it….
IMO Karishma is the better looking sister. And she is more warm and likeable than Bebo.. Geet’s line ‘mein apni favourite hoon’ sums up Bebo aptly.
I just came back to say that those MPKDH gifs are hilarious..Both Bebo and Hrithik over-acted while Abhishek barely acted in the movie. Another such gem is a movie she did with Tushar Kapoor. Bebo was so OTT and such an over-actor in her initial movies. 😂
@monalisa add mujse dosti karo ge to that list both acted ott in that movie too
Kareena,Aishwarya,kajol,deepika,sonam are loyal one once they make friends or boyfriend.unlike priyanka,Katrina are most cunning disloyal opportunistic women in Bollywood. Fame n money rule world not just kapoors.
Omg as kid i always used to say karishma way way way more beautiful than kareena but now all have change in 180degree.but karishma is warm n kind not like bebo.
Did u REALLY mention 36 china town as one of bebola’s great works as actress!! Err… NO!!
Yep! 36 Chinatown, as a whole, was a damn funny film. It’s on top of our most hilarious films, including Hungama. Shahid’s “Maine sirf uski do pair aur do ankh dekhi hai”, “Aapne khooni ko dekha hai?” “Haan, uski do pair aur do ankhen!” or that “haath”, “Kiska ka haath?” “dead body ka haath”..or these Johny Lever and his wife sequences – too damn funny…
