It’s a big day for Kareena Kapoor, marking a full 25 years since she first graced the silver screen. She stepped into the world of films with “Refugee” way back in 2000. Now, two and a half decades later, she stands tall as one of the most successful and highest-paid actresses in the industry. To celebrate this impressive milestone, Kareena took to social media, sharing a heartfelt post with her fans.
Her Instagram feed became a little time capsule, featuring photos from her very first movie, “Refugee.” Fans got to see her alongside her debut co-star, Abhishek Bachchan, in some of the snaps. Other pictures showed her striking a pose by herself, a nostalgic look at where it all began.

The caption she chose was short but powerful, a true testament to her journey. She simply wrote, “25 years and forever…” This was accompanied by a red heart emoji and the symbol for infinity, hinting at her lasting love for her craft and her fans.
A Debut with Mixed Reviews
Kareena’s first film, “Refugee,” hit theaters on June 30, 2000. It wasn’t exactly the dream start for her at the box office. The movie didn’t perform well financially. However, critics were quick to praise Kareena’s acting. Her performance shone, even if the film itself didn’t quite catch on with audiences. On a brighter note, the songs from “Refugee” became massive hits. Even today, many of those tunes still feature on people’s playlists.
Still Going Strong
After a quarter-century, Kareena is far from slowing down. She remains a very active figure in the film industry, taking on new projects regularly. Her last appearance was in “Singham Again,” which premiered last year. Currently, whispers are going around about her upcoming film, “Dayara,” keeping her name in the news and her fans excited.
