Baby Kareena kapoor with Amitabh Bachan

Bachchan, who has associated with the Kapoor family since decades, narrated an incident when he was shooting alongside Bebo's (as she's fondly known in Bollywood) father, Randhir Kapoor in Goa.

He wrote: "I was narrating to her (Kareena), one such moment when we were shooting for Pukar' in Goa and how she looked with her cute summer hat with little pink flowers on them, and how troubled she had been when during an action sequence I was hitting her father.

"She in her innocence had run on to the set in the outdoors and clung to her father to protect him from this evil' man who was beating him up..."

The actor continued: "In tears and most worried, she was relentless and very disturbed. She soiled her pretty little feet in the sand and in order to settle her down I had asked for some water and washed her tiny feet clean, to make her realise that this act was not for real but an enactment.

"I think after the feet washing, her opinion seemed to have changed about me. I wasn't that evil' after all. She still remembers that moment."

Kapoor should have been all of three years old at the time, but it seems her feisty spirit was still very much intact even then.
