What do the following have in common?
a) Prince Charming (or dream man)
b) horseback riding
c) cooking
d) honesty
e) Gianni Versace
f) a combination of Richard Gere and Shah Rukh Khan
The answer - All are the favorites of our Star of the Week - Kareena Kapoor. The last one mentioned she claims make up the first. One would be hard-pressed to find that combination, but if Bebo, as she is known by friends and family, does manage to do so, she just might have to stand in line in order to get him.
Aside from this, what is Kareena like in reel compared to real life? With strong ties in Hindi cinema, one couldn't imagine that there would be any other calling for her. Starting with her great-grandfather and continuing with her grandfather, father, mother, and sister, the silver screen has seen them all. So at the tender age of ten, while Kareena was sitting in her sister Karisma's dressing room trying on everything in sight, her future was all but clinched. Her status in the film industry took shape overnight, literally faster than her sister's did. Yet with all this, she has the utmost respect for Karisma and say's she has a lot to learn from her big sister.
The launch of her career began with Refugee. And although the film itself didn't find much success, it was just what Kareena needed to get noticed. Directors like Subhash Ghai, Karan Johar, and Santosh Sivan began knocking on her door looking for the new girl in town. The results of which were seen in Yaadein, Kabhi Khushi Kabhie Ghum, and Asoka. And who but her mom Babita is in a position to watch over her daughter's new found stardom. Kareena lovingly names her and Karisma as her strength.
