Kareena Kapoor is a leading figure in the Hindi film industry, celebrated for her remarkable acting talent. Although she made her film debut with Abhishek Bachchan in the 2000 movie Refugee, her career path was not always set on acting. At one point, she briefly considered pursuing a legal career but soon recognized that her true passion lay in acting.

Before stepping into the film world, 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’ve got a photo on that campus. I thought I’d be a lawyer, I went through this weird phase but (the acting bug) that can’t keep you away". 

The Jaane Jaan actress added that she was never pressured into choosing her career path. She explained that no one forced or pushed her into acting, and her parents were supportive of whatever career she wanted to pursue.

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