Kareena Kapoor once revealed she studied Microcomputers at Harvard University, but left after just 3 months – Here's why
Kareena Kapoor
is one of Bollywood's most loved and successful actresses, known for her charm, talent, and bold choices, both on screen and in life. From the glamorous 'Poo' in 'Kabhi Khushi Kabhie Gham' to the bubbly 'Geet' in 'Jab We Met' and the strong-headed 'Kalindi' in 'Veere Di Wedding', she has delivered some truly iconic performances.
But before all the fame, Kareena once took a surprising academic detour to Harvard University!
The Kapoor who went to Harvard
In a recently resurfaced video, Kareena was seen chatting with actors
Vijay Varma
and
Jaideep Ahlawat
. During the conversation for Netfilx on Youtube, she proudly revealed, 'I studied Micro Computers at Harvard University.' That statement caught everyone's attention.
She added that she was the first in the Kapoor family to go to Harvard, calling herself 'the first brainy Kapoor.'
With a playful smile, she said, 'It's true guys, I did go to Harvard. I have signed up for a course and I ran away in three months because it was too much for me and but I did. I am the first brainy Kapoor and it is the truth.'
Too much to handle
Although it sounded impressive, the course turned out to be more than Kareena had expected. She admitted that she left the course after just three months because it was too demanding. The workload was too much, and she felt overwhelmed.

That's when she decided to walk away from Harvard.
A love for learning… Briefly
This wasn't the only time Bebo went on to explore studies. Before making her debut in 'Refugee' in 2000, she gave education a real shot. She even tried studying law.
In an old interview on Rendezvous with Simi Garewal, Kareena shared, 'I went to a government law college and sat on those desks. My family was very upset that how can you go to college and do this.
I was behaving like a normal girl. But then I got bored of it. It required too much hard work.'
Clearly, Kareena wanted to do 'normal' things like going to college and sitting in class. But once again, the effort required made her lose interest. She realised it wasn't for her.
Meanwhile, on work front Kareena was last seen in 'Singham Again', directed by
Rohit Shetty
, where she starred alongside Ajay Devgn,
Akshay Kumar
, Deepika Padukone, Tiger Shroff, and Arjun Kapoor.

Samay Raina questions Apoorva Mukhija and Raftaar on ‘majboori' that forced them to join Karan Johar's The Traitors: ‘I didn't have fun at all'
Content creator Apoorva Mukhija recently sat down to review the latest episodes of The Traitors with co-contestant and rapper Raftaar. In the vlog that Apoorva dropped on YouTube, while she and Raftaar decoded the episodes, comedian Samay Raina also joined them through a video call and questioned them on why they chose to do the show. Later, The Rebel Kid and Raftaar also shared how the show has caused them anxiety and how insulting the eviction process was on The Traitors. During the vlog, The Rebel Kid received a video call from Samay Raina, where he said, 'Kya kar rahe ho tumlog yaar? Aisi kya majboori aayi tum dono ko… (What are you guys doing? What was the dire need to do this?)' Later, Raftaar also revealed that Samay Raina was also supposed to participate in the show; however, he had to drop out due to date issues. Further, Samay said, 'When you both know so much? Why did you go on The Traitors?' Also Read: The Rebel Kid aka Apoorva Mukhija makes explosive claims about The Traitors, reveals Karan Johar personally interviewed contestants: 'I lied about lots of things to be on the show' A post shared by Apoorva (@ Apoorva also took a jibe at the tricky editing the show's team has done. Later in the video, she went on to say, 'When I was on the show, I didn't have fun at all. I used to be very stressed about getting murdered, because they would not evict you with dignity. Until you reached the breakfast table, you wouldn't know if you were murdered, so you would do your hair, makeup, etc. And they would just invite you to the video diary room and ask you to leave. Your luggage would be kept packed and in the car. The car would be standing outside, and you were just supposed to leave the property.' Raftaar also recalled the moment he was evicted from the show, 'While we were shooting and would get murdered or evicted, the team would pack our things and bring them down. We could not even go back to our room then. I left the Circle of Shaq room and went straight to the car. In a few minutes, my luggage was loaded and I was shifted. The next day, early morning, 6 am was my flight.' Apoorva also revealed how an anxiety-inducing music would be played in the Circle of Shaq room and further shared that getting murdered was all the more insulting than getting evicted. 'You at least got a chance to say bye if others evicted you. There would be so much anxiety, you would see everyone going down the stairs and waiting for your turn. Amazon did a great job of making us anxious, ' The Rebel Kid said. Raftaar also revealed how every contestant had gotten frustrated after a point. He shared, 'Even I have abused a lot on the show, though I hurled those abuses on myself, you don't deserve so much hate because you cuss.' Responding to Raftaar, Apoorva said, 'I am totally at fault for abusing the show for no reason, I would not even realize that I was being recorded on camera. I had lost the plot and just wanted to go home. I had said this in every video diary, which was not shown.' The Traitors streams on Amazon Prime every Thursday, and the show has been getting lots of negative response from the audience as well as the contestants.

Aamir Khan says 'Dhoom 3' could've been better: 'Aditya Chopra made a mistake..."
With high expectations. 'Dhoom 3' is surely one of the most underwhelming films of Aamir Khan and also the weakest among the 'Dhoom' series. Earlier, in a candid interview with Mashable India, actor Aamir Khan opened up about the original plotline of 'Dhoom 3' and why he believes the film could have been emotionally stronger. According to Aamir, one key character—Sweety Dixit, Jai Dixit's wife, played by Rimi Sen in the first two parts—was cut from the final version, a decision he called a 'mistake' by producer Aditya Chopra and director Vijay Krishna Acharya . 'Sweety's Character Was Originally Central' Aamir revealed that the original script of 'Dhoom 3' began with Sweety asking Jai Dixit (played by Abhishek Bachchan) for a divorce, frustrated with her husband's neglect. 'Dhoom 3 behtar ho sakti thi. Kyunki usme ek kirdaar tha—Jai Dixit ki wife Sweety—jo original script mein tha. Adi aur Victor ko laga woh zaroori nahi hai, toh nikaal diya. Mere hisaab se woh galti thi,' said Aamir. He felt the character added depth to Jai's persona and could have given audiences an emotional entry point into the action-heavy film. A Missed Opportunity for Emotional Impact Explaining the original storyline, Aamir said Sweety was tired of being forgotten—Jai would miss Karva Chauth, her birthday, and other important occasions due to his work. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Here's A List Of Cheapest Steel Suppliers (See List) Steel Suppliers | search ads Search Now Undo To win her back, Jai would promise her a long-overdue honeymoon, but an urgent case in Chicago would interrupt their plans. At the airport, Jai would secretly meet the police commissioner to get case details. Instead of ditching his wife, the story would unfold with Sweety supporting Jai's mission, urging him to finish the case before returning home. 'It would've added heart to Jai's otherwise rigid character,' Aamir said. About 'Dhoom 3' Directed by Vijay Krishna Acharya, 'Dhoom 3' hit the big screens on December 20, 2013. The expectations were quite high for the project, but it turned out to be a massive disappointment, especially due to the weak second half and climax.

Apurva Asrani on homophobic attack: It wasn't just about one man's hate
Apurva Asrani recently put up an Instagram post in which he wrote about a distressing homophobic incident that happened at his north Goa residence. In the post, he mentioned how a drunk neighbour hurled slurs at him and his partner Neeraj (Kadamboor) over a parking dispute. 'He called Neeraj and me dirty homos, freaks, hijras – and stormed around the complex hurling slurs at us. .. trying to shame us for being gay,' Apurva wrote on Instagram. When the couple reported the incident to their housing association, the initial response was tepid. 'There were people who said, 'Oh, this shouldn't have happened,' but very quickly, the conversation moved on to pool timings,' the Made in Heaven editor told us. He further added, "If a woman said she was harassed it would have been a very different response. Some neighbors said, 'Just settle it, man to man'. I realized people don't actually understand that we are not just two neighbors fighting. This is somebody who is taking on centuries of oppression, slur, and taking that as the backing and threaten us. I am a National Award-winning filmmaker, I have bought this house with my good, and hard-earned money. I should not be feeling like this. If I am feeling like this, what will be happening to the younger kids who haven't got this kind of privilege. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Giao dịch CFD với công nghệ và tốc độ tốt hơn IC Markets Đăng ký Undo We want him evicted." The couple demanded action — both from the housing association and from the landlord of the offender, who stays in the UK. 'The homeowner has just responded saying, that they have issued him a two week notice for eviction. But he's requesting for more time. Now, it came back to us – Should we show mercy? Or should we stand our ground? However, I stand for so many like us. The number of times I have been evicted from housing societies just because I'm gay. It used to be horrible. I thought one day I'll buy my home, and it won't happen. I think today it's time for a homophobe to be evicted. So, I hope he actually does get out within two weeks,' he shared. He added, "I've realized that more than being homophobic or apathetic, people are just ignorant. They don't understand the vulnerability. You're living almost living in sin with another man. All these things are used against you. If we want change, we can't just be victims sitting there saying, you've all wronged us. I was very upset. I felt very vulnerable till I took decisive action. The moment I began acting on this, I don't feel that sense of disappointment. "
