Never in the history of films has a star sibling risen to a status of a mega star in a short period of time as has Kareena Kapoor.

Even as a 10-year-old, when Beboo (as she’s fondly called) tried on wigs and new shades of lipsticks in her sister Karisma’s make-up room, everyone knew that she would eventually join movies. But even her mother Babita, who has an iron hand over her daughters, could not foretell the extent of her success.

The first unconventional step she took was by signing Refugee immediately after rejecting Rakesh Roshan’s Kaho Naa…Pyar Hai. Minor differences led to her walking out of the project, and wisely so, since the film did nothing for its heroine Amisha Patel. Refugee was a perfect launch for Kareena, who, with her ethereal looks managed to carve a niche for herself as a performing actress as opposed to a glamour doll.

The film did not do well but she was noticed, and then came a stream of big makers who were starved for a new heroine. Subhash Ghai signed her for Yaadein opposite Hrithik, and Karan Johar followed suit with Kabhi Khushi Kabhi Gham.

Yash Chopra’s production signed her for a film with Rani Mukherjee and Hrithik Roshan. And finally, she now has Sooraj Barjatya’s next love triangle with both Hrithik and Abhishek in the lead. To balance these projects that show her in all the splendour of a Hindi film heroine, she also has Santosh Sivan’s Ashoka – A Love Story, which is a historical.

With Yash Chopra, Karan Johar, Subhash Ghai and now Sooraj Barjatya in her kitty, Kareena Kapoor has almost reached the top position after just one film. Unlike an Aishwarya Rai who had all the big makers backing her at one point in her career, but blew it up, Kareena Kapoor’s career is being monitored by the mother of all-star makers, Babita Kapoor.

It is highly unlikely that Bebo will falter as far as her career moves are concerned. Over and above, she has age on her side since she is only 20
