Kareena Kapoor Khan (born September 21, 1980) is an Indian film actress who appears in Bollywood films. Born into a film family where both her parents, Randhir Kapoor and Babita, and her elder sister Karisma were in the film industry, Kapoor faced the media spotlight from a very young age. However, she did not make her acting debut until the 2000 film Refugee, which earned her the Filmfare Best Female Debut Award. Her melodrama Kabhi Khushi Kabhie Gham became India's highest grossing film in the overseas market in 2001 and is her biggest commercial success to date. After receiving negative reviews for a series of repetitive roles between 2002 and 2003, Kapoor accepted more demanding parts in order to avoid being typecast. Consequently, from 2004 to 2006 she was recognized by critics for displaying greater versatility. Her portrayal of a sex worker in Chameli (2004) proved to be the turning point in her career and garnered her the Filmfare Special Performance Award. She later received two Critics Awards for Best Actress at the Filmfare ceremony for her performances in the critically acclaimed Dev (2004) and Omkara (2006). In 2007, Kapoor earned a Filmfare Best Actress Award for her performance in the Imtiaz Ali directed romantic comedy film, Jab We Met. Although the box office earnings of her films have varied considerably, Kapoor has established herself as one of the leading contemporary actresses in the Hindi film industry. Kapoor's off-screen life is subject to wide media coverage in India with frequent press coverage of her and boyfriend, actor Saif Ali Khan and speculation of a possible marriage.
Based on the #1 New York Times bestseller from Madeline Miller, C I R C E is an brave and bold retelling of the Greek classical epic through an intimate scope that explores the iconography and archetype of the first witch in Western literature, who is often depicted as a menacing foe to heroes like Wonder Woman in pop-culture. In the house of Helios, mightiest of the Titans, a daughter is born. But Circe is a strange child -- not powerful, like her father, nor viciously nymphomaniac like her mother. Turning to the world of mortals for companionship, she discovers that she does possess strength -- within the linguistic and herbal world of witchcraft, which can transform rivals into monsters and menace Olympus itself. Threatened, it is said that Zeus banished her to a deserted island, where she hones the roots of occult, tames wild beasts and crosses paths with many of the most famous figures in all of mythology, including monstrous Scylla and wily Odysseus. But there is danger, too, for a woman who stands alone, Circe must summon all her strength and choose, once and for all, whether she belongs with the gods she is born from, or the mortals she has come to love. Brought to the screen by producers Rick Jaffa and Amanda Silver (Disney's Mulan, Avatar: The Way of Water), the 9-part saga is a marriage of magical realism, mythopunk, and feminist folklore celebrating the indomitable female strength against mankind's darkest fantasies.
