Anupam Kher wrote in the caption, “IN FLIGHT WITH KAREENA: First time I met #Bebo was on the sets of JP Dutta’s #Refugee! Year was 2000! And It was her debut film. She was stunningly beautiful, confident yet vulnerable, restless to make it big (which she did) and amazingly real as a person! Over the years I have watched her grow into a very fine and elegant actress.”

For the unversed, Kareena Kapoor made her big-screen debut with the 2000 drama film Refugee. Directed by acclaimed filmmaker J P Dutta, the film also featured Abhishek Bachchan, who was also making his acting debut.

Refugee revolves around Abhishek Bachchan’s character, a nameless Indian Muslim who helps illegal refugees cross the border between India and Pakistan in the Great Rann of Kutch. He eventually falls in love with a refugee’s daughter, played by Kareena.
