Kareena Kapoor Khan completed 22 years in the acting business and there's no stopping for her. The actress is about to make her OTT debut on her birthday tomorrow with Sujoy Ghosh's Jaane Jaan. Co-starring Vijay Varma and Jaideep Ahlawat, the Netflix film is based on the Japanese novel titled The Devotion of Suspect X. In her illustrious career, she has acted in a variety of films and genres. However, the most popular ones include Poo from Kabhi Khushi Kabhie Gham and Geet from Jab We Met.
At the trailer launch of Jaane Jaan earlier this month, Kareena spoke about the diverse roles she did in her career. The actress said she will try to explore newer territories to break free from the image of Poo and Geet.
Kareena said, "As an actor, you want to try and do something different every time. For me, it is difficult because I've been known for playing Poo and Geet. It has been fixed in people's minds. So, it has been a conscious effort to do different things. They don't think of the films that I've done in the past, including Omkara [2006], Dev [2004], Chameli [2003], and others. But I'm going to keep trying."
She further added that most people don't remember her for the roles she played in Chameli, Dev and several other serious films. "But I'm going to keep trying to do different things. I know that they will keep coming back to Poo and Geet", she shared.
