An actress who can play the character of Poo (from Kabhi Khushi Kabhie Gham...), a college-going girl with an attitude and muttering “whatever”. No one could have nailed it better than Kareena. From crop tops, mini skirts and bell bottoms to fur jackets and shades, her character remains iconic till today. Playing the character of Geet (in Jab We Met), a young Punjabi girl, always in her world of dreams, chattering endlessly and to whom the only solution to everything seems to be: “Main toh bhaagh rahi hu!” Wearing salwar kameez and tees, Kareena Kapoor Khan also played Pia (3 Idiots), a medical student who has a good sense of humour. Pia’s character is unapologetically bold and unafraid to love. Having played characters of vastly different personalities proves her ability to portray characters that are poles apart. This is why I’m a Kareena Kapoor Khan fan. She is a versatile actress who can easily slip into the skin of every character in any genre. (I am a Kareena Kapoor Khan fan because... March 6.)

Kareena Kapoor Khan has emerged as the cynosure of Bollywood over the years by dint of her acting prowess and drop-dead gorgeous looks that left her fans swooning. Hailing from the illustrious Kapoor clan, she was burdened with the Herculean task of proving her mettle right from the get-go. Our expectations were towering as her elder sister, Karisma, had set the bar high. Her metamorphosis from a simple girl-next-door in Refugee to a scintillating Poo in Kabhi Khushi Kabhie Gham... to a sensuous Chameli in Chameli to a boisterous Geet in Jab We Met or a rather naive and innocent wife, Priya, in Ajnabee, or be it a geeky Pia in 3 Idiots or a strikingly beautiful single mother, Maya, willing to go to any lengths for her young daughter in Jaane Jaan — she essays all her roles to perfection. She is a paradigm of beauty with brains who knows best how to maintain an equilibrium between career and family.

I am a Kareena Kapoor Khan fan because she is one of the most talented, pretty and stylish heroines of Bollywood of all time. I just love to watch her films and have watched all her movies released till date. The Bollywood star is a powerhouse actress who has mesmerised me with her performance in each of her films. My favourite Kareena Kapoor Khan role is Geet from the movie Jab We Met. I always eagerly wait for her new films.
