Embraced Unconventional Roles
While she added glamour to these films, she also embraced unconventional roles in her career. One notable instance was her portrayal of a prostitute in Sudhir Mishra’s 2004 film Chameli. She further ventured into unglamorous roles, such as her performance in Vishal Bhardwaj’s adaptation of Othello, Omkara, and her role as an escort with a dark secret in Talaash.

23 Years In Hindi Cinema
With a career spanning over 23 years in Hindi Cinema, Kareena Kapoor has not only established a significant place for herself in the film industry but has also become an inspiration for budding actors. Despite facing stiff competition in the industry, Kareena Kapoor today is proud of where she is. In an old interview with Harper’s Bazaar India, Kareena Kapoor said, “I always look back and smile, because I am proud of my journey. I don’t have time for regrets.”
Married Saif Ali Khan in 2012
In 2012, Kareena Kapoor married Saif Ali Khan, and since then, their bond has only grown stronger. In the same interview, Kareena emphasised the importance of balancing work and family life.
She expressed her desire to prioritise family moments over awards shows, saying, “I don’t feel like leaving my kids alone or because I don’t want to be seen at some awards show. I want to be able to choose—because I’d rather sit at home with my husband and watch a show or have a glass of wine. That’s one of the biggest changes I have gone through, personally. It is up to me to strike a work-life balance.”
