Noted for playing a variety of characters in a range of film genres—from romantic comedies to crime dramas—Kapoor is the recipient of several awards, including six Filmfare Awards, and is one of Bollywood’s most popular and highest-paid actresses.
After making her acting debut in the 2000 war film Refugee, Kapoor established herself with roles in the historical drama Aśoka and the melodrama Kabhi Khushi Kabhie Gham. This initial success was followed by a series of commercial failures and repetitive roles, which garnered her negative reviews. The year 2004 marked a turning point for Kapoor when she played against type in the role of a sex worker in the drama Chameli.
Married to actor Saif Ali Khan, with whom she has two sons, Kapoor’s off-screen life is the subject of widespread coverage in India. She has a reputation for being outspoken and assertive and is recognized for her contributions to the film industry through her fashion style and film roles. In addition to film acting, Kapoor participates in stage shows, hosts a radio show, and has contributed as a co-writer to three books: an autobiographical memoir and two nutrition guides.
After two children, a successful career and proudly taking fans with her on her journey to motherhood, Kareena Kapoor Khan has finally written all about her experiences in her debut novel.
The Jab We Met actor teased fans and hyped up the announcement with a picture of a sonogram on Instagram.
“Been working on something exciting… but it’s not what you’re thinking. Watch this space for more,” she posted, much to the disappointment of her fans who have been eagerly waiting for details regarding her secondborn, who came into this world on February 21.
Unlike the last time where the paparazzi were bombarded and instantly fell in love with Taimur Ali Khan, this time around, Kareena and their husband Saif Ali Khan chose to keep their child out of the limelight and haven’t even revealed his name yet.
However, the actor has now decided to open up about her experiences of being a mom in her new book Kareena Kapoor Khan’s Pregnancy Bible.
“This has been quite the journey… both my pregnancies and writing my Pregnancy Bible. There were good days and bad days; some days I was raring to go to work and others where I struggled to get out of bed. This book is a very personal account of what I experienced both physically and emotionally through both my pregnancies,” she revealed. “In many ways, this book is like my third child… from conception to its birth today.”
She also revealed that the book had been vetted and approved by medical experts.
“Published by Juggernaut India… I’m proud to share that my Pregnancy Bible is vetted and approved by FOGSI, India’s official body of gynecologists and obstetricians, along with the help of several expert voices like Rujuta Diwekar, Dr. Sonali Gupta, and Dr. Prabha Chandra of NIMHANS.”
Both excited and nervous, Khan shared that the novel was ready to pre-order!
