"Refugee" (2000): No film that followed ever captured Kareena's radiant beauty and ethereal persona as ably as this. Director J.P. Dutta had made a promise to his friend Randhir Kapoor that he would give the latter's daughter the kind of launch which audiences would remember for all times. He kept his promise. From her first glimpse on screen when Abhishek Bachchan sees her splashing water on her face, it was love at first sight between Kareena and the camera. Playing a girl scuttling across the border to Pakistan with her family, Kareena reminded us of the screen legends of yore like Nutan, Madhubala and Nargis. Her love affair with the camera has continued for 14 years.
