Kareena Kapoor (Hindi: ????? ????, pronounced [k??rina k??po?r]; born on September 21, 1980),[1] often informally referred to as Bebo,[2][3] is an Indian actress who appears in Bollywood films. During her career, Kapoor has received five Filmfare Awards[4] and has been noted for her performances in a range of film genres; these include her work from contemporary romantic dramas to comedies, period films to major Bollywood productions, as well as less publicised independent films.[5][6]
Born into a 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, but did not make her acting debut until the 2000 film Refugee. Her melodrama Kabhi Khushi Kabhie Gham... became India's highest-grossing film in the overseas market in 2001, and is one of her biggest commercial successes to date.[7] After receiving negative reviews for a series of repetitive roles, Kapoor accepted more demanding parts in order to avoid being typecast,[8] and was consequently recognized by critics for displaying greater versatility as an actress.[9][10] Her portrayal of a sex worker in Chameli (2004) proved to be the turning point in her career[11] and she was later noted for her performances in the critically acclaimed Dev (2004) and Omkara (2006).
