Kareena Kapoor Biography
Kareena Kapoor was born to Sindhi-speaking Babita (nee
Shivdasani) and Punjabi-speaking Randhir Kapoor on September 21, 1977 in
Bombay, India. She has an elder sister, Karisma Kapoor. Kareena is born in a
family that have been actors for generations, including her paternal
great-grandfather, Prithviraj Kapoor; her grandfather, Raj Kapoor; her paternal
uncles, Shammi, Shashi, Rishi, and Rajiv; as well as aunt, Neetu Singh, &

As a child, Kareena Kapoor studied in Jamnabai Narsee School

settle down, as per the Kapoor family tradition. This led to irreconcilable
differences between her parents, ultimately leading to a divorce, with both
sisters leaving their dad to live with their mom.
Kareena Kapoor film debut was in the year 2000 with
'Refugee' along with the debut of Amitabh Bachchan's son, AbhishekBachchan. She
went on to appear in many more Hindi movies, and has thus far won four awards

Personal Quotes
Life is full of happiness and tears, be strong and have
faith.
I want a man I can keep for myself. I wouldn't ever share my
man with anyone else.
I am not a home breaker and I can never be. I haven't been
brought up to create havoc in other people's homes.
If I found out that my man is unfaithful, there'd be no
tears, no shor-sharaba, I'd just slaughter him.
Men are gutless. Why can't they own up to the women they
love?
A lot of guys try to mingle with me because of who I am. If
I encounter a guy with a clean heart, I will go by my instincts. I guess my man
won't be from the film industry.
I am a hell raiser. I do my own thing. And I believe what I
do is the right thing.
I wouldn't be able to turn a blind eye to my husband
activities like other star wives. I will be screaming down this throat,
demanding an account of every minute of his. So you see an actor won't be good
for my peace of mind.
The most shocking part of the articles linking me with
Hrithik Roshan was the insinuation that I was willing to give up my career to
run after him. Please! Not for a man, never.
My co-stars call me selfish. They say you are only
interested in yourself and what you are only interested is yourself and what
you are doing in front of the camera. I reply, I can't help it; it's what got
me where I am.
The one thing I like being in a relationship is
that we get to share things. Our experiences about life, comparing notes about
things that have happened to us. Then you get companionship, which is great.
You laugh, you talk, you fight. There's a mazaa in that. I like everything
about being in a relationship. I like feeling secure. I like the companionship,
making the other person happy. And if you're in a good relationship, there's
nothing you don't like about it.
