Unknown Facts:
Seriously, did you know these facts about Bebo? You will be surprised, you didn’t.
- Interesting story behind Kareena’s name. Babita (Kareena’s mom) was reading Leo Tolstoy’s Anna Karenina when she was expecting Kareena. The title of this book went and inspired Babita to name her second and youngest daughter as Kareena. What a source of name inspiration?
- Was Kareena born an actress? Here’s a twist. Before she took up training at an acting school in Mumbai, she was pursuing a 3-month course in microcomputers at none other than Harvard University (United States).
- Such a yoga lover she is that Kareena can do 50-60 surya namaskars in one go. Who knows? The count could have changed for her post-pregnancy.
- Kareena is the grand-daughter of Raj Kapoor. It means she has inherited her grandpa’s hunger and skills to perform the most challenging and unconventional roles. Any examples? She turned down Kaho Na Pyaar Hai (glamorous film) for Refugee (performance-oriented film). This was just a start. Her roles in Chameli, Omkara and Heroine are perfect examples of her taking on non-glam roles.
- Could you ever expect Kareena Kapoor Khan to be a co-author? Possible? Yes! She has co-authored Don’t Lose Your Mind, Lose Your Weight with Rujuta Diwekar (nutrition and exercise science expert) and The Style Diary of a Bollywood Diva with Rochelle Pinto. Whoa!
- What’s so good about the film Dev in which Kareena Kapoor was the heroine? She sang the song Jab Nahi Aaye The Tum which proves how versatile she is – as a singer too.
- Kareena Kapoor Khan has her wax statues at 2 of the Madame Tussauds – one in England, and one in Singapore.
- Any guesses why both the Kapoor sisters – Bebo and Lolo – lived away from their father? Papa Randhir was very close to both of them and didn’t want them to go the “acting” way, but get married and settle down. This led to conflicts with their father. Result? Both the sisters lived with their mother Babita.
- In her young teenage days, Kareena had a huge crush on the film actor Akshaye Khanna (S/o late Vinod Khanna). And which celebrity had a huge crush on her? Arjun Kapoor who said so in an interview.
- Such a yoga lover she is that Kareena can do 50-60 Surya namaskars in one go. Who knows? The count could have changed for her post-pregnancy.
- In the Indo-English version of Pride and Prejudice, i.e. Bride and Prejudice Kareena was offered the supporting role, as sister to Aishwarya Rai. Bebo humbly and politely declined it. Understandable! After all, why should Kareena act in a secondary role to Ash.
- It was her “bubbly” role in the film Jab We Met (2007) starring Kareena Kapoor and Shahid Kapoor which rejuvenated her acting career and led to success and fan-following.
- Kareena gets into social causes too, once in a while. It was in the year 2010 that Kareena adopted Chanderi village in Madhya Pradesh (know what it is famous for? Chanderi sarees). Buy why was it adopted? To provide it electricity.
- Talk about laundry and Bebo doesn’t wash her jeans for a month! But why? Because she feels pretty comfy to wear it that way-What an idea!
- Kareena Kapoor Khan has her wax statues at 2 of the Madame Tussauds – one in England, and one in Singapore.
- For her highly glam role in Madhur Bhandarkar’s film Heroine, Kareena wore over 130 dresses – designed by some of the top designers all over the world. One dress was worth INR 1.5 crore! But was the film a hit? NO!
- Remember Sanjay Leela Bhansali’s hit film Goliyon Ki Raasleela: Ram-Leela. The role eventually played by Deepika Padukone was first offered to Kareena Kapoor. Sad, Bebo turned it down! No clue, why she didn’t accept the role.
Love her or live her? Both, actually when it comes to the new age mom Kareena Kapoor Khan. Write in and tell us what you think of Kareena – and her choice of men – Shahid Kapoor vs Saif Ali Khan. Who do you think Bebo looks “hot” with?
