When Kareena Kapoor says that acting is in her genes,
the actress, who represents the fourth generation of her
family, is absolutely right as the Kapoor family enjoys
about an 85-year long association with arclight,
greasepaint and camera.

It was Kareena's great-grandfather Prithviraj Kapoor
who laid down the foundation of acting in the family by
entering showbiz in 1928, which was taken forward by
his three sons - Raj Kapoor, Shammi Kapoor and
Shashi Kapoor whose wife Jennifer was the first female
from the clan to act in movies.

Later, all three sons of Raj Kapoor - Randhir, Rishi and
Rajeev faced the camera. In the fourth generation, it
was Randhir and actress Babita's daughter Karisma
who carried forward the legacy of her family. Later,
Kareena followed in her sister's footsteps.

As Indian cinema celebrates its 100 years, talking about
her association with filmdom, Kareena told IANS: "Being
a Kapoor, acting is genetic. My sister paved the way for
me in the industry when she became the first Kapoor
girl to take up acting."

Reminiscing of filmdom as a child, Kareena said she
would accompany Karisma, who entered filmdom in
1991 with "Prem Qaidi", to the sets and has grown up
with the industry.

"As a child, I used to accompany Lolo (Karisma) to the
sets of her films, so I've seen the industry grow and vice
versa. I have nothing but the highest regards for the
industry," said Kareena, who completes 13 years in
filmdom and has been part of over 45 films, including
hits like "Ajnabee", "Aitraaz", "Jab We Met" and "3
Idiots".

How many times do we have to keep listening to her crap! Ya we know she had decided to become an actress in her mother's womb.

For someone who grew up away from Kapoors since her parents were separated,she sure knows how to milk Kapoor surname.

Being a Kapoor, she should beware of contending with genes related with obesity, extra marital affairs, divorces, objectifying women on-screen, MCPishly disallowing their own women from pursuing film careers, boozing etc.
A lot of negative genes those in comparison to one positive acting gene.
