Kareena Kapoor - Highest Tax-Paying Bollywood Female Celebrity For 2024

 With an impressive tax payment of 20 crore, Kareena Kapoor has made headlines for being the highest tax-paying female celebrity in India for 2024, followed by Kiara Advani with 12 crore rupees and Katrina Kaif with 11 crores. This substantial contribution highlights Kareena's successful year and her significant role in the industry.

AJAY AND KAREENA IN A SPARKLING ROMANCE MOOD IN SATYAGRAHA

After sizzling as lead pairs in OMKARA and GOLMAAL, Superstars Ajay Devgan and Kareena Kapoor have been paired with each other in SATYAGRAHA.

Whenever Ajay Devgan and Kareena Kapoor have been paired together, audiences and critics have given them a huge thumbs up. Both OMKARA and GOLMAAL RETURNS were huge hits and this 'jodi' is back to sizzle the silver screen in Prakash Jha's next titled SATYAGRAHA. And like their previous movies that had fantastic songs picturised in them, SATYAGRAHA too has a romantic number 'Raske Bhare Tere Nain' that is set to become a chartbuster.

Ajay says, 'I love the music of the film. The romantic song is one of my favorite songs from the album. The music is fabulous. I am very sure that when people will hear the music of the film, they will love it. But you know you pick your favourites. For me, if you ask me, it's 'Raghupati' and the romantic song.'

Kareena Kapoor adds, 'My personal choice is the romantic track because it's just penned so beautifully. The Instruments have come out so well and it's a beautiful emotional song in the film.'

Produced by UTV Motion Pictures and Prakash Jha Productions, the highly awaited SATYAGRAHA is set to release on August 30. The song breaks across TV and radio networks on Sunday.

SAIF-KAREENA POSTPONED WEDDING DATE

The media could not refrain from asking the big question during the 'first look' launch of Kareena Kapoor's film HEROINE. Though right in the beginning of the function UTV's Siddharth Roy Kapur made it clear that questions not pertaining to the film will not be welcomed. Everyone was aware about the news of the postponement of Saif-Kareena wedding that was to happen in October 2012 and the media wanted to confirm with the (would-be) bride herself the veracity of the report that had appeared in a morning tabloid. The bride termed the report as speculative yet did not deny it and informed the media that the prerogative to announce the wedding date is of the groom i.e. Saif Ali Khan, the Nawab of Pataudi.

As far as she is concerned her priority at the moment is her big film HEROINE. It is obvious that Kareena Kapoor is not in a hurry to give up the privileges of a 'heroine' to don the mantle of a dashing Nawab's Begum.

AGENT VINOD OVERTAKES BLOOD MONEY WITH EARNING OF 38 CRORES

Very much on the expected lines, this week's major release, from the Bhatt banner, Kunal Khemu's BLOOD MONEY, failed to embark upon even a decent start. While the single screens were better at 25-30 percent, the multiplexes were disappointing at around 15-20 percent. The collections did see an increase during the latter shows (especially at single screens of the Hindi belt), but it was not encouraging enough. All the same, given the high number of screens, BLOOD MONEY will still manage a decent weekend haul.

Meanwhile last Friday's AGENT VINOD saw a sizeable fall in collections during the weekdays, after a good 28-29 crore weekend. As per early estimates, the 62 crore (all inclusive) Saif-Kareena starrer has netted around 38 crore (to be validated) during the opening week from India, and will have to perform reasonably well in the second week, to get to the positive side of the fulcrum.

ACCORDING TO KARAN JOHAR, KAREENA IS HEROINE NO. 1

The big debate as to 'who is India's numero uno actress presently?' seems to be sorted out for the moment. Well how? Filmmaker Karan Johar putting the long time guesswork to the rest declared that Bollywood actor Kareena Kapoor is 'Heroine No. 1'.

Recently at an event to unveil the first look trailer of the upcoming film EK MAIN AUR EKK TU, Kareena was posed a question whether she considers herself the No.1 actress of B-town. While Kareena refused to answer the tricky question saying, "I don't know. I am not going to answer this question," Imran Khan, producer Karan Johar and debutant director Shakun Batra, who were also present at the event, prompted, "According to us Kareena is Heroine No.1."

And if this was not enough Karan, who was at his wittiest best at the event, quite dramatically announced, "Introducing the Heroine No.1 Kareena Kapoor (chuckles)."

When it comes from someone like Karan Johar, Kareena can safely accept or call herself Heroine No. 1 the next time. What say Bebo?

KAREENA KAPOOR - UNVEILS HER WAX STATUE AT MADAMME TASSAUDS

Finally, Kareena Kapoor gets to unveil her wax statue at Madamme Tassauds at Blackpool on the day after Diwali. The statue, which takes inspiration from Kareena’s look in the ‘Mauja Hi Mauja’ song from director Imtiaz Ali’s blockbuster movie Jab We Met, took about four motnhs to complete and costed around 1,50,000 pounds.

Mom Babita accompanied Bebo for the unveiling of the statue following which Kareena also launched the museum’s global Bollywood exhibition.

“It is an honour and a privilege to have my own wax figure at Madame Tussauds, and even more so to launch a global Bollywood exhibition. This is a moment of pride for Indian cinema,” Kareena said in a statement. “The figure looks incredible and is so life-like, I did a double take when I saw it myself. They have really done a superb job of capturing my essence,” she added.

SHAHRUKH AND KAREENA IN A NEW ROLE IN "RA.ONE"

It seems slang and foul language suits well Bollywood actress, Kareena Kapoor. Filmmakers, audiences love watching Kareena mouthing some cuss words.

It all started with her award winning film CHAMELI, where she played a prostitute with bindass attitude and used some swear & cheeky words. However it was in the film JAB WE MET when she uttered 'Tere Maa Ki ...' while abusing her beau, audiences went berserk watching her. Followed with the film GOLMAAL 3.

And now in her upcoming film RA.ONE Kareena would be once again seen hurling abuses. However, this time around on none other than Bollywood superstar Shahrukh Khan. In the recently released promo of RA.ONE we can see Kareena frenziedly raining gaalis on Shahrukh, who plays her husband in the film. Bebo is heard yelling, 'Tere baap ki... Tere tau ka poda...' She plays a bindaas Punjabi girl who doesn't worry about her lingo or what she is saying. However, her cute kid does remind her of the foul language every now and then.

Surprisingly whenever Kareena mouthed bad words it did wonders for the film and became a huge hit. Hope her abusive language do the same magic for RA.ONE too.

TODAY KAREENA KAPOOR TURNS 31

Where a many Bollywood beauties bid goodbye to their careers and plan to get settled as they reach their thirties, actress Kareena Kapoor is riding higher and higher, who turns 31 today.

During her career, Kapoor has received six Filmfare Awards, among nine nominations,and has been noted for her performances in a range of film genres; these include her work from contemporary romantic dramas to comedies, period films to major Bollywood productions, as well as less publicised independent films.

Born into a family where her parents, Randhir Kapoor and Babita, and elder sister Karisma were actors, Kapoor faced the media spotlight from a very young age, but did not make her acting debut until the 2000 film Refugee. Her melodrama Kabhi Khushi Kabhie Gham... became India's highest-grossing film in the overseas market in 2001, and is one of her biggest commercial successes to date. After receiving negative reviews for a series of repetitive roles, Kapoor accepted more demanding parts in order to avoid being typecast, and was consequently recognized by critics for displaying greater versatility as an actress. Her portrayal of a sex worker in Chameli (2004) proved to be the turning point in her career and she was later noted for her performances in the critically acclaimed projects Dev (2004) and Omkara (2006).

In 2007, Kapoor received the Filmfare Award for Best Actress for her performance in Jab We Met, a romantic comedy directed by Imtiaz Ali. She went on to play the lead female role in the thriller Kurbaan (2009), for which she earned critical acclaim, and the drama 3 Idiots (2009), which became the highest-grossing Bollywood film of all time. Having done so, Kapoor has established herself as a leading actress of the Hindi film industry. In addition to movie acting, Kapoor is a regular stage performer and has launched her own clothing line in association with being the brand ambassador for the retail chain Globus. Her off-screen life, including her relationship with actor Saif Ali Khan, is the subject of wide media coverage in India.

With biggest of hits and superhits films like JAB WE MET, 3 IDIOTS, GOLMAAL series, BODYGUARD, and some highly anticipated films under her belt (RA.ONE with Shahrukh Khan, Reema Kagti's untitled project with Aamir Khan, AGENT VINOD with Saif Ali Khan, EK MAIN AUR EKK TU with Imran Khan), Kareena has only proved that she is the original numero uno actress and here to stay.

KAREENA KAPOOR - BOLLYWOOD SEXIEST WOMAN

Bollywood actress, Kareena Kapoor has been named the sexiest woman by Stardust magazine.

Kareena beats actresses like Katrina Kaif, Deepika Padukone and Priyanka Chopra to win the title. The decision has been made on the basis of an extensive research and readers responses. The latest issue of Stardust magazine features the list of top 10 sexiest women.

Last year, it was Katrina who topped the list of sexiest women in Bollywood.

NOW SHAHRUKH AND KAREENA WILL TASTE THE "ANGOOR"

One of the funniest movies of all times, "Angoor", will soon have a remake. The film that was originally made in 1982 by Gulzar is stated to be an iconic rib tickling comedy. And now it will have a remake with Shah Rukh Khan essaying the role originally played by Sanjeev Kumar and Kareena Kapoor filling in at Moushumi Chatterjee’s place. To be directed by Rohit Shetty, the film is set to go on floors by the end of this year.

As for Angoor, the film had Sanjeev Kumar playing a detective novel aficionado and Deven Verma, who pretends to be a bhaang lover. Both characters have their twin counterparts and all hell breaks loose when they finally encounter each other.

What precedes this encounter is a series of goofball moments. And adding to ruckus is Moushumi Chatterjee, whose intemperate bawling tendencies just add to the confusion.

Shetty after his ‘Golmaal’ series is now working on script for Angoor with scriptwriter Sajid-Farhad. The original was based on Shakespeare’s play ‘A Comedy of Errors’.

Confirming the news, a source said, “After he made Golmaal 3, everyone was wondering what Rohit Shetty’s next plans were. People were guessing if he would make a fourth sequel but the director surprised everyone by choosing to work on an Angoor remake. That he decided to work with Shah Rukh Khan on this came as a real shocker. It seems that Rohit is now wanting to work only with A-listers,”

Well, remakes are no easy task and we hope Shetty can do justice to the 1982 classic.

HOT KAREENA ENTERS INTO POLITICS

Katrina and Ranbir surprised one and all with their solid portrayal of youngsters who are forced to join politics owing to circumstances. Kareena Kapoor is all set to follow into Katrina's footsteps as she too has been approached by Farhan Akhtar's production house Excel Entertainment for a political drama.

Filmmaker Sudhir Mishra who gave Kareena Chameli has been roped in to direct the film. Will the critically acclaimed actress-director pair be able to revive the magic of Chameli?

Sudhir Mishra confirmed the news saying, "Yes, we have approached Kareena Kapoor for my forthcoming film to be produced by Farhan called Bhrub. The Devdas remake I was planning didn't work out as the script I wrote became something else. That script went on to become Bhrub.

Bhrub happens to be the name of the central character around which the film will revolve. It's about a man who's an heir to a political family. Kareena will play the female protagonist. She has an equally important role to play. As far the male lead is concerned, we have few names in mind but that will happen once Farhan gets free post the shooting of his Don 2. We will sit together and brainstorm."

Sudhir added, "Kareena broke free from commercial films in Chameli and that was when people realised the potential that was hidden inside her as an actor. I intend to do that again as she hasn't been exploited enough as an actor considering her immense talent."

Rumours of Abhay and Farhan being considered for the role opposite Kareena are doing the rounds. Watch this space for more.

KAREENA TO CELEBRATE HER BIRTHDAY WITH SAIF

While most actors like to spend lavishly and take exotic breaks to celebrate their birthdays, Kareena Kapoor who turns 30 on September 21, will be shooting for beau Saif Ali Khan’s home production "Agent Vinod" in Latvia which is in Eastern Europe.The actress had earlier this year missed her sister Karisma`s birthday as she was shooting in London with Shah Rukh Khan for ‘Ra.One’. However, the silver lining for Kareena is that Saif will be with her.

Kareena will be away from Mumbai for a month long shoot. Her role in Agent Vinod is very demanding and requires her to do risky stunts. A bit of birthday celebration in between hectic shoots will lighten her up.

As for Saif’s special plans for Kareena, the actor is planning to surprise his lady by flying down her mother to Latvia. Talking about her packed schedule, Kareena said, “What can I do? I barely have time to breathe. I just came to Mumbai for two days after being away for 25 days. Now, I`m off to Latvia for over a month`s shooting.

"Confirming that the shooting of Madhur Bhandarkar`s "Heroine" has been postponed Kareena says, "Madhur is still working on the script. We`ll start shooting the film when the script is ready in the next three months. Right now, Madhur is busy with Dil To Bachcha Hai Jee."
