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:

1. She is loyal to her true friends and family.

2. She has managed to keep herself relevant in Bollywood for 18 years as a leading actress!

3. She is the sister of Karishma Kapoor, the only current sane famous Kapoor and a great actress!

 

 

Once again, Happy Birthday to Kareena Kapoor.
