This actress is a star kid with connections to the renowned families in the film industry. Currently, she is counted among the top actresses.
New Delhi: In the entertainment industry, not only actors but actresses also command a substantial fee. Priyanka Chopra is currently the highest-paid Indian actress, charging a whopping 40 crores for each film. However, this star kid actress, who used to charge the highest fee earlier, is none other than Kareena Kapoor Khan.
Kareena Kapoor Khan began her career with Abhishek Bachchan in J.P. Dutta’s “Refugee.” The film failed to perform well at the box office. However, her next film with Tusshar Kapoor, “Mujhe Kuch Kehna Hai,” was a successful venture both at the box office and critically acclaimed for her acting.
Her breakthrough came with the 2001 blockbuster film “Kabhi Khushi Kabhie Gham,” directed by Karan Johar. This film established her as a leading actress in the industry. However, her subsequent 10 films like “Mujhse Dosti Karoge,” “Jeena Sirf Meri Liye,” “Talaash,” and others performed poorly at the box office. It was her work in “Chameli” (2004) that garnered praise, followed by a successful run with the film “Hulchul.”
In 2007, Kareena Kapoor Khan collaborated with Imtiaz Ali for “Jab We Met,” which turned out to be a massive success at the box office. According to the Economic Times, Kareena started demanding a fee of 3.5 crores per film, making her the highest-paid actress in 2008, surpassing Aishwarya Rai Bachchan, who charged 3 crores. Since then, Kareena has delivered numerous hits and blockbusters, including “3 Idiots,” “Bajrangi Bhaijaan,” “Golmaal: Fun Unlimited,” “Golmaal 3,” “Bodyguard,” “Ra.One,” and “Singham Returns.”
Even today, Kareena is considered one of the highest-paid actresses in the industry, charging up to 18 crores for each film. It’s worth mentioning that she will soon be seen in Rohit Shetty’s “Singham Again.”
