Talking about the quirky names of the Kapoor, did you how the ‘Jab We Met’ actress was not named Kareena initially? Back in 1980, the actress was born almost a week after her uncle Rishi Kapoor was blessed with his first child, Riddhima Kapoor Sahni. To this, Bebo’s grandfather Raj Kapoor decided to name Rishi and Randhir’s daughters as Riddhima and Siddhima respectively, inspired by the names of Lord Ganpanti’s two wives as both were born around the Ganesh Chaturthi.
However, it’s believed that it was Kareena’s mother Babita Kapoor who named her newborn daughter Kareena instead of Siddhima because she was reading Leo Tolstoy’s ‘Anna Karenina’ during her pregnancy.
Coming back to Kareena’s nickname, the actress revealed in a chatshow that she is called Bebo as her parents simply wanted a nickname to rhyme with Karisma’s name Lolo.
On the work front, Kareena will be next seen in Aamir Khan’s upcoming film ‘Laal Singh Chaddha’, the official Hindi adaptation of the Hollywood film, ‘Forrest Gump’.
Apart from this, she will also collaborate with Hansal Mehta and Ekta Kapoor for an untitled project.
The actress is also a part of Karan Johar’s passion project, ‘Takht’.
