Continuing our two-part special on Kareena Kapoor, here's the second edition of her assorted avatars as she turns 30 today.

Size Zero

Size Zero was an unheard concept in Bollywood before Kareena set trends to get her body in pencil-thin shape for Yash Raj Films' Tashan.

While some criticized her skinny form, others were simply too awed by the sexy transformation to complain. Regardless of the responses, the size zero tag is now synonymous with the Jab We Met star.

Being a Hindi film actress entails loads of sparkling paraphernalia, rigorous singing 'n' dancing almost round the clock but the 3 Idiots girl deals with this excessive side of showbiz with startling spontaneity.

Bikini Beb-o!

Men dig women who don leather, they say. Kareena plays on this opinion quite effortlessly doing her bit as a biker chic bit with her trademark lan.

Though there's nothing size zero about this appearance, she's aces as the curvaceous temptress on the prowl. Clearly, all that glitter is Bebo.

Angry young woman!

Casting her wide-eyed loveliness aside, Kareena gives her action hogging co-stars a run for their money with her fierce gaze and aggressive body language.

There's a good reason why Bebo is every glossy's favourite cover girl. A complete natural in front of the camera -- still or moving -- Kareena lends a touch oomph, poise and elfin charm to her larger-than-life imagery.

If you thought she's all about red carpet allure alone, think again. The hip A-lister is just as home in a pair of funky tees and distressed jeans.

Here comes the bride!

She's played a Bollywood dulhan in countless movies and still manages to look distinct each and every time with her dazzling opulence and vibrant style.

She's rarely spotted in chunky baubles off-screen. The celluloid, however, captures the actress go playfully OTT sporting all the gaudy bling in the world.

Getting wiggy with it!

She loves her luxuriant tresses too much to go in for a dramatic snip. And that explains this auburn-coloured bob cut wig on her crown.

Blonde disaster

Not all her hairpieces are this fun though. Take a look at her tacky attempt to do a Marilyn Monre to know what we mean.

Never too coy about shedding her inhibitions for the camera, Kareena makes heads turn and eyes pop with her bold, backless moves.
