Where were you when you first fell in love with Kareena Kapoor? In the theatre? Sprawled on the couch in your mother’s house, nodding off to Sunday afternoon TV? Or then on a night bus from Chandigarh to Manali, straining to watch the tiny TV behind the driver’s seat, while the orchestral snores of the stranger in the next seat both alarmed and comforted you? Was it before or after the hyphen-Khan? The right answer is, it doesn’t matter. Because this is really about her and how she’s completed 15 years in Bollywood and as fully paid-up members of her fan club, about us, and how we want to look back at some of the wonderful times (and the accompanying life lessons), in motion picture:
Like the time she taught us how to take compliments.
And how if you’re cool enough…
…nobody will remember what went before it.
And that waiting for others’ approval is a happiness-snuffing cancer.
…and that joy is really in the small things…
…but missing your train (or bus, or flight) is a legit horror, don’t be an idiot.
And happy dances are important.
Wigs make it a proper party!
Basically, always have fun.
A little mischief goes a long way.
…a really long way…
It goes very far…
Quite a distance…
Another 15 years further, hopefully. We love you Kareena!
