Kareena Kapoor Khan- while the surname and the acronym has caught the fancy of fans and the film industry alike, the diva's post marriage film career has not taken off. There are quite a few factors at play here. For one, married heroines are often not popular with the standard Bollywood films. Most multi starrer comedies, have replaced the social film or family drama these days, and many action flicks, which count on adrenaline rushes and the hotness factor, steer clear of casting married heroines.
Having said that, times are changing in hindi filmdom. Married actresses also crack great scripts and good films once in a while, Vidya Balan, Aishwarya Rai Bachchan and Madhuri Dixit are best examples of this. Juhi Chawla is another case study of a long lasting film career, with quality parts coming her way from time to time. Kareena though, has not found too many takers. She sure wins hands down on the hotness factor, in fact, she looks better post marriage! So what is wrong here?

A major factor here is Kareena's moody attitude. When it comes to her favorite filmmakers, a couple of past episodes interfere with her casting. Specific to Shuddhi, sources confirm that Karan Johar was reluctant to sign her on after the trouble that she gave to him during Gori Tere Pyar Mein.

Kareena had also given Vishal Bharadwaj a hard time while filming for Omkara, keeping him waiting outside her vanity van on multiple occasions. Word in Bollywood gets around, and can affect the flow of work. MORE:
The recent story about Kareena being considered for Hrithik starrer Mohenjo Daro, is being negated by sources close to the filmmaker. We know for a fact that a new face is being hunted for, and that these rumors are linked to a PR push. MORE:
Her film with Emraan Hashmi's Badtameez Dil also hangs in the middle of nowhere, with reports suggesting that Balaji Motion Pictures, the second production house, is keen on a younger star cast.
