Kareena Kapoor Khan filmography

Kareena Kapoor Khan is an Indian actress who has appeared in more than 60 Hindi films. She made her acting debut opposite Abhishek Bachchan in the 2000 drama Refugee, for which she won the Filmfare Award for Best Female Debut.[1] The following year, she appeared in five films, including the romance Mujhe Kucch Kehna Hai, the thriller Ajnabee, and the ensemble melodrama Kabhi Khushi Kabhie Gham.... The latter emerged as the highest-grossing Bollywood film in overseas to that point,[2][3][4] and the success of these films established her in Bollywood.[5] This success was followed by repetitive roles in a series of commercial failures.[6]

In 2004, Kapoor portrayed a prostitute in the drama Chameli, which proved to be a turning point in her career,[7] earning her a Filmfare Special Award.[8] That same year, she played a Muslim woman affected by the 2002 Gujarat riots in Govind Nihalani's political drama Dev,[9] and two years later, she played the Desdemona character in Omkara (2006), an adaptation of William Shakespeare's tragedy Othello from director Vishal Bhardwaj.[10][11] She won two Filmfare Critics Award for Best Actress for these films.[12] In 2007, Kapoor played a loquacious Sikh girl in Jab We Met, a commercially successful romantic comedy co-starring Shahid Kapoor, for which she won the Filmfare Award for Best Actress.[13][14]

In the year 2009, Kapoor co-starred with Aamir Khan in Rajkumar Hirani's comedy-drama 3 Idiots,[15] which emerged as the highest-grossing Indian film to that point.[16] In 2010, she won the Filmfare Award for Best Supporting Actress for her role in the family drama We Are Family and played a tomboy in the lucrative comedy Golmaal 3.[17][18] In 2011, she played the leading lady in the top-grossing action films Bodyguard and Ra.One.[19] Among her four releases in 2012, she received praise for playing a free-spirited woman in Ek Main Aur Ekk Tu,[20] a troubled actress in Heroine and a prostitute in Talaash: The Answer Lies Within.[21][22] In the next few years, she (now Kapoor Khan) decreased her workload, taking on smaller parts of the love-interest in the androcentric films Singham Returns (2014) and Bajrangi Bhaijaan (2015); the latter ranks among Indian cinema's highest earners.[23][24] This changed in 2016 when she starred in two commercial successes, the satire Ki & Ka and the acclaimed drama Udta Punjab.[23][25] Further success came with the ensemble comedies Veere Di Wedding (2018) and Good Newwz (2019).[26] After reuniting with Aamir Khan in the commercially failed drama Laal Singh Chaddha (2022), Kapoor Khan had her first streaming film release in the thriller Jaane Jaan (2023).[26]
