Why she might be annoying:

    She is a vegetarian.
    Worse still, she’s a vegetarian to stay thin.
    Her nickname is Bebo (like the website).
    She quit law after one year to pursue acting.
    There were rumors that she refused to work with Abhishek Bachchan (who had made his debut with her in 'Refugee') because his engagement to her sister had broken off. So much for professionalism...
    On IMDB, her birth year is said to be 1977, but on the official Eros Entertainment site, it’s said to be 1980. Surely her parents should know which year she was born in...?

Why she might not be annoying:

    She’s the sister of Karisma Kapoor.
    She received critical acclaim for playing a prostitute in 'Chameli.'
    She received critical acclaim in her debut film. Talk about talent!
    She went against her dad’s wishes of wanting her to stay away from the movie business, get married and settle down, thereby becoming one of the most sought after and successful actresses in Bollywood.
    She comes from a family hugely famous for acting (both of her parents, several uncles, aunts and grandparents were actors) and yet, she broke a tradition (with her sister) of Kapoor girls not acting.
    The controversy about her weight loss in Tashan highlighted the double standards related to it being justifiable to put weight on for a role but not to lose it. Boo!
    Making thin bodies look appealing isn’t necessarily bad for an ethnic group known for being predisposed to diabetes and coronary heart disease.
    She’s won several awards.
    She ranked sixth on rediff.com's 'Top 10 Bollywood Actresses’ of 2006 list.
    She was ranked 8th by magazine Eastern Eye as one of Asia’s Sexiest Women (2007).
    Her first name (Kareena) was derived from Tolstoy’s novel, Anna Karenina. How cool is that?!
