Kareena Kapoor calls herself a “good student” and reveals Harvard has a photo of her on campus: “I’m very proud of…”

Kareena Kapoor is a prominent figure in the Hindi film industry, known for her extraordinary acting talent. Although she made her film debut alongside Abhishek Bachchan in the film Refugee (2000), her career was not always geared towards acting. At one point, she briefly considered pursuing a legal career, but soon recognized that her true passion was acting.

Before entering the world of cinema, Kareena also dedicated time to her studies and took a summer course at Harvard University.

In an interview with The Week, Kareena mentioned that she was a good student and had initially considered becoming a lawyer. When asked about her summer course at Harvard, she expressed “pride” in having attended, noting, “It’s Harvard, I mean, I have a picture on that campus. I thought I would be a lawyer, I went through a weird phase, but (the acting bug) can’t keep you away.”

The Jaane Jaan actress added that she was never pressured into choosing her career. She explained that no one forced or pressured her into acting and that her parents supported her no matter what career she wanted to pursue.

Kareena was told that she is one of the few actresses who earn between Rs 10-15 crore per film. She said, “I hope so! I want that!” adding that she doesn’t choose films for the money but for the role she plays in them.

The Jab We Met actress clarified that her decision to take up roles depends more on her interest in the character and the film than on the financial gains. Kareena also mentioned that she feels she is at a phase in her career where she can offer a lot, though she noted that for high-budget commercial films, “whatever you say is less.”
