Upon returning Kareena Kapoor also attended Government Law College in Churchgate, Bombay, but left it after one year, to enroll in the Kishore Namit Kapoor Acting School.
Her father was opposed to his girls working in the film world but her mother supported both the sisters and eventually their parents had to separate. Kareena got her debut movie opposite Abhishek Bachchan in the form of J.P. Dutta directed Refugee (2000).
