Kareena Kapoor is a leading figure in the Hindi film industry, celebrated for her remarkable acting talent. Although she made her film debut with Abhishek Bachchan in the 2000 movie Refugee, her career path was not always set on acting. At one point, she briefly considered pursuing a legal career but soon recognized that her true passion lay in acting.
Before stepping into the film world, Kareena also dedicated time to her studies and took a summer course at Harvard University.
