How did Kareena survive 2+ decades while her contemporaries didn't? - Page 3

Bebo is a STAR.

Her contemporaries like Katrina, Priyanka, Vidya, Aishwarya, Rani are all still doing well. So I don't understand how Kareena is doing something others haven't.

The only contemporary who faded away was Preity. And maybe others like Bipasha, Mallika, Sushmita, etc. but they were never in the top league anyway.

1) Most impt reason - she has connections in BW, karan johar namely is good friends with her

2) She used PR to hype herself from first movie - it helps having a elder sis who knows how to attract media attention

3) Many BW insiders called her best actress great actress from first movie (like they did to alia)

4) Less FB/twitter/instagram in first 6-7 years when her acting was pathetic and her attitude was bad - so no negativity (unlike alia)

5) Affair with shahid

6) Affair with saif and than marriage (imagine getting compared to angelina and pitt )

7) Fights with many actress and bizzare statements to get lime light

8) Using Taimur to stay in lime light

9) It helps to be family friends with karan johar, amir, akshay, SRK, salman etc all top actors.

Basically Kareena herself has very few movies where she has made hit on her own, may be jab we met that also was more for songs and now veere di wedding (semi hit)

Well said and I still laugh whenever threads about Kareena's "survival" are started. She's painfully mediocre, never took artistic risks and would never continue to get films without her nepo status and PR games.

PR, gossip, more gossip, getting married to the right person and making a brand out of her marriage and the baby! Nepotism product and affluent. Looks down upon people. Vain and plain stupid. All the pre-requisitioned checklist in place for Bollywood.

She's managed to stay relevant no matter what the situation. Also I can't deny she is very talented and has done a huge range of roles like Rosie (Talaash), Deepti (Good Newwz), Mahi Arora (Heroine), Chameli, Poo (K3G).

She's managed to have a fresh image no matter what, when actresses post 35 lose their charm for whatever reasons. Plus she hasn't let age define her roles.

I was stunned when I saw her in Tareefan and Chandigarh Mein, ofc she still has the oomph and sex appeal for mainstream roles. Most of the young lot also don't have this glam appeal. The West does have many actresses who are still hot and well-maintained, but in Bollywood I cannot think of anyone other than Kareena.

True that...

The way this place talks about it you would be forgiven if you think she’s the only one...

Maybe they’re stunned that she managed to hang around so long, even they didn’t expect it

What is her X-factor?

It depends... In recent times it was Taimur & motherhood

Before that, pregnancy and quick weight loss

She mentioned quite a few times that her career was revolutionary as no one before her has been leading lady after motherhood...

Heck working after a baby in India was something started by her 😛

But credit where credit’s due

You have to have avid faith in yourself and great inner drive to survive in entertainment industry (talent is secondary) as Sophia Loren once said...

Her racism should've destoryed her career, but Indians worship white skin so let's hope the new age Indians will cancel and reject racism in India. She should be known for her husband who practices Eugenics, and her racism. Also, she's not the first woman to show her belly. There are countless lower class woman who work and raise children. She has the audicety to say that she was a working mom? Like wtf. What is this racist woman even smoking? She has freaking servents that cook, clean, and care for her child and her husband. She is a privileged Karen of India who also benefits from nepotism, and medicore acting skills. She disowns her own films, and says Indian films are beneath her. She's a disgusting, vile, and snobby woman. She's only surivived by being in big star films and uses her child to keep herself up in the media. She's no STAR.

Some of the responses on this thread are hilarious. As if people are going to watch an actress because of her husband, child, or social media activity 😆

Kareena holds the highest opening day for a female-led film. She has a raw star appeal and has made great choices throughout her career. Probably the only actress in modern times that never stopped working and kept giving major successes. Her stardom is set and only on the rise.

They said it was all due to Sonam 😆
