First Paycheck
Many wouldn’t know, but Sanjay Leela Bhansali gave Bebo her first paycheck of Rs 11,000. It was a signing amount paid for Hum Dil De Chuke Sanam, which eventually featured Aishwarya Rai Bachchan.
In an interview with Film Companion, Kareena confessed to never returning the sum to SLB despite the conversations not materializing. ” I never gave him the money back, so I owe him 11000 (laughing),” she had said.
Over the years, Bebo has been a part of many successful films, like Singham, Kabhi Khushi Kabhie Gham, Jab We Met, and 3 Idiots. Her successful film choices have made her a bankable star. She has also participated in solo outings like The Buckingham Murders, apart from starring in female-led films like The Crew and Veere Di Wedding.
