In 2001, Kareena Kapoor Khan emerged as a style sensation when she danced to Alka Yagnik’s San Sanana as Kaurwaki in Shah Rukh Khan’s film Asoka. Bebo portrayed the role of a feisty warrior woman, sporting bold dark eyeliner and tattoos across her body. A few years ago in a chat with Bollywood Hungama, Amrita Singh’s close friend and actor Navneet Nishan revealed how Sara Ali Khan, who was 6 years old then, wanted to be like Bebo after Asoka’s release. Navneet had shared, “I remember when Asoka (2001) had released, she wanted to be dressed like Kareena Kapoor. I had to make tattoos on her. Then I tied a scarf around her. I remember Saif Ali Khan came to my house. He looked at her with shock, like ‘What are you doing?’! I clicked a picture at that very moment. Even Amrita is there in the picture.”

We wish Sara a very happy birthday!
