Kareena Kapoor is arguably one of the best actresses in contemporary Bollywood. She has worked across a range of genres over the last two decades, and has been lauded for her versatility and for the authentic charm and flair she brings to each character she plays. Her films have received both critical acclaim and commercial success. Her filmography includes Jab We Met, 3 Idiots, Omkara, Udta Punjab, Aitraaz and Talaash amongst many others.

In an interview with ETimes earlier this year, Kareena said that her biggest takeaway from 23 years in the industry is that nothing lasts forever. "What really lasts is your goodwill, your dedication, the characters you play on screen and the films you have chosen to do."

The actress has some interesting projects lined up. She has teamed up with Kriti Sanon and Tabu for The Crew, which is being backed by Rhea Kapoor and Ekta Kapoor. Kareena will also be seen starring in Sujoy Ghosh's adaptation of The Devotion of Suspect X. The upcoming Netflix release is based on the 2005 bestselling eponymous Japanese novel by Keigo Higashino.

The actress is currently on a break from her work schedule and is vacationing with her husband, Saif Ali Khan and sons, Taimur and Jehangir in London
