Refugee, which came out in 2000, was the debut film for both Kareena and Abhishek. Directed by J. P. Dutta, the film told the story of a man who helps people cross the borders between India, Pakistan, and Bangladesh through the Great Rann of Kutch. It was loosely based on a short story called Love Across the Salt Desert by Keki N. Daruwalla. The film was one of the top earners of that year.

Kareena went on to become one of the most popular actresses in the country, with hit films like Jab We Met, Kabhi Khushi Kabhie Gham, Omkara, and Udta Punjab among many others.

Honestly, Refugee was way ahead of its time. The cinematography of Rann of Kutch was breathtaking. But I feel Kareena's best performance came later in Omkara - she completely transformed into that character!

️25 years and still going strong! But let's not forget the amazing supporting cast of Refugee - Anupam Kher and Suniel Shetty were brilliant. That era had such meaningful cinema compared to today's masala films.

As someone who grew up watching Kareena's films, this makes me so nostalgic! From Poo in K3G to Geet in Jab We Met - she's given us so many iconic characters. Wishing her many more years of success!

While I appreciate her acting, I wish she'd do more meaningful roles now like she did in Udta Punjab. Too many commercial films lately. Still, 25 years is a huge achievement in this industry!

Remember how we all copied her "Poo" look from K3G? 😂 Kareena has been setting fashion trends for decades. That Refugee look was so simple yet beautiful - completely different from her glam roles later.
