The Kareena Kapoor & Fardeen Khan partnership
From Khushi (2003) to Fida (2004). The played out closed with Fida in 2004. It started with Khushi (2003).
The shape of the work
Kareena Kapoor acted in every film; Fardeen Khan acted in all of them. Strictly Hindi cinema — they never crossed industries together.
Partnership facts
- Kareena and Fardeen first worked together in Khushi (2003) because director Surya Sivakumar specifically wanted a fresh, young pair for the Hindi remake of his own Tamil hit. He picked them both without any screen test.
- In Fida (2004), Kareena played the femme fatale who manipulates Fardeen's character. She later admitted she had to constantly push him to match her intensity in their confrontational scenes — he was too nice, she had to make him angry.
- During the shoot of Dev (2004), Kareena and Fardeen became close friends off-screen. They would often drive together to the set in Fardeen's car, and Kareena later said he was the only co-star who never once made her feel uncomfortable.
- Kareena said about Fardeen in a 2004 interview: 'He's the most chilled-out co-star I've worked with. We never had a single fight, not even on the sets of Fida where my character was supposed to hate him.'
- Their pairing in Khushi (2003) was the first Hindi film to be shot extensively in the newly developed Film City in Hyderabad, helping put that location on the Bollywood map for future shoots.
