She is glamorous, forthright, fabulous, real and can turn into almost anything you want her to be on the big screen. And while she remains Bebo to her family, Poo to her fans and happy being referred to as Taimur’s mother, the actress continues to inspire many with her sassy outlook. As someone, who despite being a mainstream actress couldn’t give too many successful films but managed to stay on top, she can certainly give some tough life lessons to all you millennials.
SAYS WHAT'S ON HER MIND
You just can’t deny the fact that she is one of those rare actresses who has never shown any qualms in speaking her mind. She didn’t hold back her thought on calling Kangana Ranaut as “one actor who inspires" her, or ask Karan Johar on his show “where does Priyanka Chopra get her accent from“. Let’s not mistake her bluntness for rudeness and unfriendliness, or take Johar’s comment “that she behaves like a typical Greater Kailash aunty’ too seriously. She is happy being herself, so should you.
DOESN'T MANAGE EMOTIONS
We are often told it is best to suppress and repress our emotions, because people are quick to label it as a weakness. But hey that just doesn’t work in Kareena’s case. From predicting in an interview that her then boyfriend Shahid would turn into a superstar, and announcing “I'll most definitely marry Shahid. I'm not the kind to jump from one relationship to another. For me love is for keeps" to Saif Gifting her a palace and some wonderful mornings, to getting worried with paparazzi chasing Taimur - she has been quite open about her relationships and breakups.
SET SIBLING GOALS
Whether you seem them at promotional events, or lavish getaways abroad or lazy brunches, the sister duo knows just what it takes to steal the spotlight. While Karishma is happy to stick to classics, Kareena is happy to flaunt vibrant colours. And there are times when they give a mature spin to the idea of twinning. From the two coming out as strongest support system for each other to slaying sartorial looks together, they are undoubtedly our favoruite sister duo from Bollywood.
DEFIES SEXIST STEREOTYPES
The another reason why we simply adore Kareena Kapoor Khan is the ease with which she has sought against the tropes, and created an identity that goes beyond her on-screen characters which have been both stereotypical and inventive. If she kicked off her career by playing Nazneen in Refugee, she was also seen as a prostitute in Chameli, played a young muslim girl battling communal rights in Dev, a fearless Dolly in Omkara, chipry and fun Geet in jab we met, a generous doctor in 3 idiots and list is just endless.
She has battled bizarre questions like -
- will she continue acting before/after delivery
- has she determined the sex of her child
She shattered her detractors with an answer like “I’m pregnant, not a corpse", by filming Veerey Di Wedding while she was pregnant and walking the ramp for Sabyasachi Lakmé Fashion Week Winter/Festive 2016 to flaunt her baby bump.
So yes she has revolutionized what it meant to be a leading lady on the bg screen. With her wit, quirks and natural self, she inspires to young women across the world to understand the need to never fit the cookie cutter image that media has deemed "beautiful".
