In this special photo feature, we bring you Kareena, as we've seen her over the years

Kareena Kapoor has always been a bit of a brat. Even before she signed her first film she found herself surrounded by controversy. She was reportedly kicked out of Hrithik Roshan's debut vehicle – Kaho Naa Pyaar Hai – because her tantrums were… well… some tantrums. Anyway, here's Kareena before she made a big splash.

"I think I'm sure, very mature. I take my own decisions." That's the diva at 20. Call her arrogant or stubborn but there's no denying her single-minded determination.

Kareena had confessed to signing films without looking at the script. Obviously, Mujhe Kucch Kehna Hai was one of them. The film bombed big time. But this film was to be one of the earliest in her long string of flops. Thankfully Kareena didn't blame the producer.

Kareena's claim to fame in the initial years was Karan Johar's K3G. Rubbing shoulders with the likes of Kajol, SRK perhaps only inflated her ego. And the media bore the brunt of her attitude.

Surprise, surprise! The Barjatyas signed her on for Main Prem Ki Deewani Hoon. Kareena wasn't exactly the 'ideal' Rajshri heroine. A miserable script ensured that the film flopped at the box office.
