Actor Tusshar Kapoor made his debut with Kareena Kapoor in the movie Mujhe Kucch Kehna Hai in 2001. Recently, he opened up on his co-star Kareena completing 25 years in the industry. While talking to ETimes, the Khakee actor said, "Kareena is also a case study in marketing and the art of staying relevant at all times!"


Adding more, he said, "Kareena is a very special co-star of mine, as I started my career with her, and have worked with her in some of my most memorable films, like the Golmaal series! I think she has broken the glass ceiling as far as what a Hindi film heroine can achieve in the male dominated world of movies! She has outlasted generations of female actors and has delivered on box office numbers, purely on the strength of her name and presence in the film, a rarity for a female actor in the history of Bollywood! Her longevity and crowd pulling appeal has proven to be a game changer that’ll inspire future generations of female actors!"

Talking on what it takes, Tusshar said that Bebo is "an artist who has the charm and aura of the yesteryear stars and the talent to appeal to modern sensibilities. A huge congrats on her uninterrupted 25th year in front of the camera and more power to her for many more decades to come!"



Meanwhile, the actress attended the film festival in her name which celebrates her 25 years in the film industry.
