Kareena Kapoor: Movies that Bebo reportedly rejected in her career

Kareena Kapoor Khan started her career in the year 2000 with the movie ‘Refugee’. She was born into a family with generations of actors. From her great grandfather, Prithviraj Kapoor, to her uncles and other family members, all have been one of the most prominent and famous names of Bollywood. Being from a celebrity family, she always had the tag of a ‘celeb-kid’, and everybody expected her to carry the same fame ahead. She did, but not in the name of her family background. Kareena Kapoor stood up on her own, with her own individuality and made a name for herself. Though Kareena accounts for a good amount of box office hits, there are certain movies that she rejected in her career trajectory. Here is a compilation of movies that were rejected by Kareena Kapoor Khan.

Kaho Naa… Pyaar Hai
