From Talaash to Talaash, Bebo's extraordinary turnaround

Kareena Kapoor must be basking in the glory of Taalash's success for now. But, many may not be aware that back in 2003 she had done a film, which was also titled 'Taalash'

The Suneel Darshan-directed film had Akshay Kumar in the lead role, in which Kareena was supposedly a glamorous character named Tina. However, her appearance in the film was pretty shoddy as evident from the movie's stills. Not surprisingly, the film went on to become a major disaster at the box office.

From then till now, however, Kareena has come a really long way, and today is one of the most sought after actresses in the industry. Not only has she improved her acting skills, but has also worked exceedingly on her on-screen looks. The contrasting pictures of her two âTalaash' films say it all.

Without doubt, Kareena's âhunt' for success has borne fruit.
