'When I was 16...'- Kareena Kapoor

When I was 16 - Kareena Kapoor

At 16, I had just come back from boarding school. I registered with a Mumbai college for further studies. However, I just went to college for a couple of days because my sister Karisma Kapoor was a leading actress at that point. And everyone on campus stared at me like I was an aberration. The other students already knew that I wanted to be an actress so I was extremely self-conscious with all the attention that I got. So I told my parents that I would rather pursue my 11th and 12th standard through correspondence. At 16 I already knew I wanted to be an actress. Bollywood was my only obsession. Whenever I got a chance I would hang out with Lolo at shootings. I was this wide-eyed 'monster' who devoured everything about shootings. I loved to watch Lolo's costume fittings, I loved to see her romance her heroes at shootings.
Many of my leading men including guys like Salman Khan, Ajay Devgn, Aamir Khan, Akshay Kumar had seen me as a slightly tubby teenager. I guess I left an impression on them even as a teenager. When I became a heroine for many of them I was still that kid who they had spotted with Lolo. But 16 is one of the most definitive years of my life because it was the period after school when you choose a vocation. And my mind was made up. I knew that I wanted to be in the movies.

for slaman khan she is still the 9 years old girl im sure lol

awwww haha it specially happens wid the khans..their co-stars grow up so quickly :P

How weird is it for the costars who've seen Kareena as a chubby teenger to have to romance her now..

i know but even then they r doing another movie .. lol

I think that's why aki made a joke to karisma that her daughter will debute opposite him lol

how convenient, films were an easy option, i dun see wat is to be proud of, normal peeps go crazy trying to build a future, but these peeps just get opportunities, dun give auditions, lose their chubby weigth and stand infront of the camera, and then throw attitude, atleast karishma had to struggle

I totally agree with you bolly007! Just my thoughts!

So what? So what if she had the opportunity? If she had the connections as being a starkid, plenty of actresses had their fashion connections as a platform. Aish, Sush, Lara, PC, they all were well known models, which served as hteir platform.
