Happy Birthday Kareena Kapoor Khan: 5 times when the actress proved that she’s a trendsetter and not a follower

Kareena Kapoor Khan is still remembered for her roles in Kabhi Khushi Kabhie Gham and Jab We Met but there’s a reason behind it. It was Kareena who should be credited for bringing the characters of Geet and Poo to life on screen. We still remember the days when every girl wanted to be as stylish as Poo and as charming as Geet. No one but Bebo could have been able to pull off these characters that were so lively and enchanting at the same time.
Kareena Kapoor Khan always believed in being a trendsetter. She seldom followed any trends because that’s just not her personality. She’s a born leader and others can follow her if they want to. She meant it when she said, ‘Main Apni Favourite Hoon.’ It was Kareena, who was the pioneer in setting some of the classic trends which are adored even today. She was once an emerging icon who was slowly but steadily acing her way to stardom, courtesy her incredible talent, versatility and spunk. And today, after 17 years of her entering the industry, she’s a diva and Bollywood’s first fashionista who weaves magic with her every fashion outing. But Bollywood has not one or two but many reasons to thank her for. From pestering their tailor to stitch that ‘Kareena waala blouse’ to college girls going gaga over her harem pants and tee combo from Jab We Met, here are the top trends we love her for. 
Kareena Kapoor’s love for blonde hair
Yes, they were a disaster when she entered the industry but Kareena Kapoor Khan gets all the due credit for making it a rage. It was Bebo who brought in the trends of ‘highlights,’ the same trend which is popular even today. From Fida to Ki & Ka, Kareena’s love for blonde hair has never really ended.

Kareena Kapoor Khan’s look from Jab We Met
As we mentioned above, college girls were in awe of the actress’ harem pants and T-shirt combo from Jab We Met. And Kareena should be applauded for turning something as basic as Patiala dresses into a nationwide obsession. Every girl, after stepping out of the theatre, wanted to be the carefree, charming and full of life girl like Geet from Jab We Met.

Size zero fad
Okay, so this was a major concern than a fad but Kareena Kapoor Khan shouldn’t be blamed for it. The actress had to lose oodles of weight for her role in Yash Raj Films’ Tashan and that paved the way for the term called ‘size zero.’ Bebo was almost the brand ambassador of this new rage as every one of us wanted to be as slim as sexy as her. But what’s hard to get is hard to get!
