I do my own thing. And I believe what I do is the right thing
- Kareena Kapoor Khan
Twenty years ago, a 20-something diva stepped into the Bollywood industry and made a name for herself with her impressive body of work, sassy personality and unmatched beauty. Not just the Begum of Bollywood, birthday star Kareena is the K-ween of our hearts and of course the fashion circuit. An impeccable actor, bonafide fashionista and one of the yummiest-mummy in tinsel town, Bebo has achieved many milestones. As K-ween K turns 40 today and our inner-Poo couldn’t be any happier!
While Kareena’s acting prowess grew from strength to strength in last two decades, her wardrobe didn’t lack behind either. The woman who gave us the iconic Poo HAS to be a fashionista in her own right, isn’t it? On or off the screen, this diva has always been a visual treat to our eyes in her dainty gowns and experimental looks. Closing the Fashion Week for as long as we remember, she has proven to us time and again when Bebo struts, everything STOPS! Bringing a balance between sexiness and sophistication, nobody does opulent dressing as good as Begum K herself!
As this diva rings in her 40th birthday being her fabulous, stylish self, here’s a look at her 40 images that proves that she has been the style K-ween then, style K-wen now and style K-ween forever. After all, it’s all about ‘good looks, good looks and good looks’
