Shahid Kapoor-Kareena Kapoor MMS controversy
In her life before marriage, Kareena was captured on camera kissing her then-beau Shahid Kapoor freely at a Mumbai nightspot. The video soon went viral causing a huge scandal.
Kareena Kapoor-Priyanka Chopra catfight
Once Kareena openly poked fun at Priyanka Chopra’s accent. When PeeCee was asked about her westernized accent on Karan’s couch in 'Koffee With Karan', she said she gets it from the same place her (Kareena Kapoor’s) boyfriend gets it from. Not only did Priyanka hit right back at Kareena, but she also stumped the host Karan Johar.
Kareena Kapoor and ‘Love Jihad’ campaign
Kareena Kapoor had unintentionally and unconsciously become the face of VHP’s ‘Love Jihad’ campaign. Morphed pictures of the actress were seen on a VHP magazine Himalaya Dhwani’s cover page. The morphed picture soon went viral on the social media. VHP’s young women's wing ‘Durga Vahini’ had launched a campaign of reconverting Hindu girls married to Muslim boys. The cover page had Kareena's morphed picture that was half covered with a naqab and the other half obscuring a bindi on her forehead and sindoor in her hair, with a caption of “Conversion of nationality through religious conversion”. The diva’s husband actor Saif Ali Khan expressed disapproval of the whole plot and also condemned it.
Kareena Kapoor’s racist comment on Bipasha Basu
On the sets of 'Ajnabee', everyone was wooed with the then-new sensation of B-Town Bipasha Basu. This apparently didn't go down well with Kareena and she was miffed with her. She referred to the Bong bombshell as 'Kalli Billi' or Black Cat! Now that's quite racist, Kareena!
Controversies regarding ‘Kurbaan’ poster
Soon after the poster pf Saif Ali Khan and Kareena Kapoor's film 'Kurbaan' was released, Shiv Sena and other Hindutvavadi groups expressed their anger. They even sent Kareena a saree, asking her to cover her bare back which was visible in the poster.
From being a newcomer in Bollywood to becoming the Begum of Nawab Pataudi’s khaandan, Kareena Kapoor has come a long way. In a long professional journey, Kareena has proven her worth as an actress time and again, with her on-screen performance being full of brilliance and hard work. The actress has had the honour of acting with almost all the leading men of Bollywood and has carried many films solely on her own shoulder. Credibility of an artist is to be earned with immense dedication, and that’s something Kareena has done beautifully.

However, controversies go hand-in-hand with Bollywood. Knowingly or unknowingly, stars often land themselves up amidst controversies. Here are a few about Kareena Kapoor which are rather unnecessary and shouldn’t have happened.
