Aamir Khan recently shared a fascinating memory about his first meeting with Kareena Kapoor Khan, years before the two became one of Bollywood's popular on-screen pairs.
During a conversation on Koffee With Karan, Kareena asked Aamir about his first impression of her. The actor immediately went back to a time when Kareena was only around 12 years old and would visit the sets of Andaz Apna Apna with her elder sister Karisma Kapoor.
Aamir recalled the young Kareena sitting on the sets and watching the actors closely. He remembered her as a very cute and shy girl who would observe everything happening around her.
Kareena Was Only 12 At The Time
The story is particularly interesting because Kareena had not yet entered Bollywood as an actress.
She would accompany Karisma, who was one of the leading actresses of Andaz Apna Apna. According to Aamir's recollection, young Kareena would sit around the shooting location and quietly watch the proceedings.
At that stage, nobody could have known that the little girl Aamir had noticed on a film set would eventually become his co-star in several major productions.
From Aamir’s Sets To His Leading Lady
The biggest twist in the story came years later when Aamir Khan and Kareena Kapoor finally worked together.
Their first film together was 3 Idiots, released in 2009. Directed by Rajkumar Hirani, the film featured Aamir as Rancho and Kareena as Pia.
The movie went on to become one of the most successful and widely remembered films of its generation, turning the Aamir-Kareena pairing into a major talking point.
Their journey from that first childhood encounter to 3 Idiots took more than a decade.
Talaash Gave Them A Completely Different Pairing
Aamir and Kareena reunited three years later in Talaash: The Answer Lies Within.
Directed by Reema Kagti, the 2012 psychological thriller presented the two actors in a very different setting. Aamir played police officer Surjan Shekhawat, while Kareena portrayed the mysterious Rosie.
Rani Mukerji was also an important part of the film, which combined crime, mystery and emotional drama.
Unlike the youthful romance of 3 Idiots, Talaash explored darker and more complex themes.
Their Last Film Together Was Laal Singh Chaddha
Aamir and Kareena reunited again in Laal Singh Chaddha, released in 2022.
The film was an official Hindi adaptation of the Hollywood classic Forrest Gump. Aamir played the title character, while Kareena portrayed Rupa D'Souza.
The film marked another chapter in their long-running professional association and gave audiences a chance to see the pair together nearly 13 years after 3 Idiots.
Kareena Reveals What Annoys Her About Aamir
The same conversation also featured an interesting answer from Kareena.
When Aamir asked her what quality of his annoyed her the most, Kareena pointed towards his famous perfectionist nature.
She explained that Aamir wants things to happen exactly the way he has imagined them. According to Kareena, the quality is not necessarily bad, but his attention to perfection can sometimes become frustrating for people working with him.
The exchange offered a glimpse into the working relationship between the two actors.
A Childhood Memory Became A Bollywood Connection
Aamir's recollection has added a fascinating throwback to the history of his association with Kareena.
When he first noticed her on the Andaz Apna Apna set, Kareena was still a child accompanying her elder sister. Years later, she established herself as one of Hindi cinema's leading actresses and eventually shared the screen with Aamir in three films.
Their collaborations include 3 Idiots, Talaash and Laal Singh Chaddha, giving them a filmography that spans different genres and phases of their careers.
From 12-Year-Old Kareena To A Bollywood Star
The story also highlights how dramatically the Hindi film industry can change over time.
The 12-year-old Kareena Aamir remembered from a film set eventually made her Bollywood debut with Refugee in 2000 and went on to build a career spanning more than two decades.
By the time she appeared opposite Aamir in 3 Idiots, she was already an established star. Their later collaborations further strengthened their professional association.
What began as a brief childhood encounter on a film set eventually turned into a successful co-star partnership.
Aamir Khan And Kareena’s On-Screen Journey Continues To Be Remembered
Aamir Khan's latest recollection has once again brought attention to his association with Kareena Kapoor.
From a 12-year-old girl quietly watching a film shoot to becoming Aamir's heroine years later, Kareena's journey makes the old memory particularly striking.
Their three films together — 3 Idiots, Talaash and Laal Singh Chaddha — remain an important part of both actors' filmographies, while Aamir's childhood memory offers a rare glimpse into the connection that existed long before their first film together.
