Kareena Kapoor Khan turns 38 today. With age, the Veere Di Wedding actor has shown Bollywood that she is an enduring beauty both on and off the screen. Having starred in many blockbusters such as 3 Idiots, which raked in 27 times more the moolah than that of Hollywood’s highest-grossing movie, Avatar, it is rather difficult to keep track of her success. From playing a fictional historical figure to a prostitute to a hairstylist, Kareena Kappor Khan was born to pull off any character with élan. On her birthday, here is a look-back at some of her most-stellar performances, among many:

Jab We Met

2

No one can forget the gullible, energetic and talkative Sikh girl played by Kareena Kapoor in Imtiaz Ali’s romantic comedy. Not only was her chemistry with her co-star and ex-lover Shahid Kapoor incredibly astounding, she delivered the prefect personification of an innocent girl everyone falls in love with.

Udta Punjab

One of the biggest movie hypes of 2016, Udta Punjab was definitely worth the wait. In this movie, she delivered yet again the empathetic, simple doctor who takes on the role of a good Samaritan.

Talaash

A thriller movie with blends of both the supernatural and the harsh reality of prostitutes, Kareena Kapoor was tailor-made for Rosie’s role. Her character will make you feel empathetic and spooky all at once.

Omkara

No one pulls of the de-glam look as glamorously as Kareena Kapoor Khan. For a movie flooded with political crimes, Khan’s role as that of a simple village character is a breath of fresh air that will have you bawling your eyes out at her death.

Bajrangi Bhaijaan

A movie of family-reunion, that left everyone teary-eyed, the Begum of Pataudi plays the role of a school teacher in Old Delhi’s Chandni Chowk. Her character demonstrates that she has no problem getting into any role. The simplicity of her character blended with the chemistry of her co-star Salman Khan makes the movie worth the watch.
