Mumbai: Bollywood star Kareena Kapoor Khan once revealed a nostalgic glimpse of her childhood, sharing how she would dance to Sridevi's hit songs long before entering the film industry. During her appearance on Simi Garewal's chat show Rendezvous with Simi Garewal in 2002, the actress recalled imitating her favourite screen icon while her mother, Babita, recorded the performances.
During the conversation, host Simi Garewal brought up Kareena's childhood habit of dressing up in her mother's nightwear and performing to popular Sridevi numbers. Kareena confirmed the memory, revealing that Babita would stand nearby with a video camera to capture her daughter's enthusiastic dance performances.
Kareena fondly remembered trying to recreate the style and expressions of classic Hindi film heroines. Her mother would even guide her movements, asking her to look in different directions while performing.
Recalling the songs she loved, Kareena mentioned several popular numbers, including “Icecream Khaoge” and “Aap Jaisa Koi”. She also spoke about other songs she enjoyed dancing to during her childhood. One particular track held a special place in her heart: “I Love You” from Sridevi's iconic film Mr India. Kareena described it as her dream song, reflecting the admiration she had for the legendary actress.
The anecdote offered fans a glimpse into the early influences that shaped Kareena's love for cinema and performance.
Kareena made her Bollywood debut with Refugee in 2000 and went on to establish herself with films such as Kabhi Khushi Kabhie Gham, Chameli, Jab We Met, Omkara, 3 Idiots, Bajrangi Bhaijaan and Crew. Her childhood memories underline how admiration for Bollywood icons can begin long before an aspiring performer steps into the spotlight.
