Kareena Kapoor has come a long way since her debut in Refugee more than a decade ago in 2000. Expectations were high given her family background, but there is no denying the fact that Bebo was a star from the day she entered the film industry.
Even though her first few films were under-performers at the box office, she was offered bigger and better films from industry stalwarts like Sooraj Barjatya, Subhash Ghai, Karan Johar, Yash Chopra, Priyadarshan and Abbas Mustan. While films like Main Prem Ki Deewani Hoon and Yaadein failed, the turning point in Kareena’s career was Imtiaz Ali’s Jab We Met.
Since then, the gorgeous actress has set the box office on fire with 100 crore hits like 3 Idiots, Golmaal 3, Bodyguard and Ra.One. Bebo has also been pretty lucky when it comes to songs in her films. Tracks like ‘Tum Se Hi’ from Jab We Met and ‘Teri Meri’ from Bodyguard are two of the biggest hits of her career. Kareena also made her presence felt in item numbers in movies like Don and Dabangg 2. She flaunted her size zero figure, which eventually went on to be quite a rage with the youth, in the song ‘Chaliya’ from Tashan.
Below are 10 of Kareena Kapoor’s Best Songs.
1)Tum Se Hi: One of the most romantic songs of our times, the magical Tum Se Hi from Jab We Met is without doubt the best song of Kareena Kapoor’s career. In the movie, the song came at a time when Aditya, inspired by Geet’s attitude towards life, achieves success. Tum Se Hi was sung by Mohit Chauhan, with music composed by Pritam Chakraborty.
2)Chammak Challo: Was a revelation in its own way as it was sung by international sensation Akon. The song was out 6 months before the film’s release and was one of the biggest chartbusters of the year. Chammak Challo was co-composed by Akon himself and was recorded at the Yash Raj Studios in Mumbai. Akon was assisted by Hamsika Iyer for female vocals.
3)Teri Meri: Beautifully picturized on Salman Khan and Kareena Kapoor, ‘Teri Meri’ is one such melody composed by Himesh Reshammiya which boasts of an ever-lasting shelf life. The song has mesmerizing vocals by Rahat Fateh Ali Khan and Shreya Ghoshal.
4)Falak Tak: Kareena’s size-zero figure was a bigger hit than the film itself, which also had one melodious song picturised on Kareena and Akshay Kumar – ‘Falak Tak Chal Saat Mere’ sung by Udit Narayan and Mahalaxmi. It was on the sets of Tashan that Kareena fell in love with Saif, who she eventually married in 2012.
5)Zoobi Doobi: This simple yet melodious song is sung by Sonu Nigam and Shreya Ghoshal. We loved the way it was picturised too, delightfully retro and bouncy, with a saree-clad Kareena looking stunningly beautiful. 3 Idiots was a landmark film for Bollywood and also the biggest hit of Kareena’s career.
6)You Are My Sonia: This song became a disco regular after K3G’s release. It showcased the brilliant chemistry between Hrithik and Kareena. Sung by Sonu Nigam and Alka Yagnik, the song was composed by Sandesh Shandilya.

7)Kasam Ki Kasam: Picturised on Kareena, Hrithik and Abhishek, ‘Kasam Ki Kasam’ is sung by Chitra and Shaan. Anu Malik composed the amazing melody for this Sooraj Barjatya movie.
8)Bhaage Re Mann: Kareena received huge accolades and the Filmfare Best Critics award for this Sudhir Mishra directed film. Bhaage Re Mann was sung by Sunidhi Chauhan and composed by Sandesh Shandilya.
9)Fevicol: Kareena appeared in one item song of Dabangg 2 and rocked it big time. Along with Salman, the actress dazzled the audience with her infectious energy. Mamta Sharma’s voice perfectly complements Farah Khan’s choreography. Now in her ‘chubby’ look, Kareena danced her way straight into the hearts of the masses with her uninhibited pelvic thrusts.
10)Ye Mera Dil: Kareena did a cameo in the remake of ‘Don’ and performed the remade version of Helen’s classic ‘Yeh Mera Dil’. Sung by Sunidhi Chauhan, the song has Kareena trying her best to woo Shahrukh Khan.
Other fabulous songs featuring Kareena Kapoor include Muskaane Jhoothi Hain (Talaash), Halkat Jawani (Heroine), Shukran Allah (Qurbaan), Aayi Re Khushi (Khushi), It’s Rocking (Kya Love Story Hai), Naina Thag Lenge (Omkara) and Panchi Nadiya (Refugee).

Chamak Challo, Yeh mera dil, Fevicol, Halkat jawani
Where is Bole Chudiyan, Yeh Ishq Hai, Heli re Heli, Kasam ki Kasam, Mauja hi Mauja.
Bole chudiyan & Bebo from Kambakht Ishq also should be added to above songs.
Humko Pyaar Pyaar Pyaar(Aitraaz)
Chhaliya(Tashan)
Where’s “yeh ishq hai” for which shreya won so many awards
It is true that Kareena’s been extremely lucky when it comes to songs… There are just way too many amazing ones.
Hence the Top 10 seems a little unsatisfying! Especially with songs like Chhaliya, Yeh Ishq Haaye, Bebo Main Bebo, Kyun, etc not finding any place.
Though I wish you had included Marjaani in the Top 10, instead of Yeh Mera Dil. Such a rage it was. And the video still remains one of my all time favorites!!
And OMG, how can we not include Asoka songs !!!
Guys, we need like… a minimum of top 20 list just for Kareena!
Some of my all time favourite Kareena Kapoor songs
You Are My Soniya – Kabhi Khushi Kabhi Gham
Chammak Challo – RA.One
Mauja Mauja – Jab We Met
Bhaage Re Mann – Chameli
Zoobi Doobi – 3 Idiots
Naina – Omkara
Shukran Allah – Kurbaan
Teri Meri – Bodyguard
Criminal – RA. One
I Love You – Bodyguard
Deewana Hai Dekho – Kabhi Khushi Kabhi Gham
ABHISHEK…. I was waiting all these days for your songs every week. Not anymore. It looks like your a fan of cheap songs like Fevicol, Yeh Mera Dil, Halkat Jawani, Its rocking. Out of 17 songs that you picked.. 4 are item numbers!!!
Where are these songs???? Which are some of Kareena best songs
Andhekhi Anjaani
Mere Humsafar (Refugee) I doubt you’ve even heard this song
O Saathi Re
Panchi Nadiya Pawan
Aisa Lagta Hai
Mujhe Kucch Kehna Hai
Very disappointing list. Is it only about Halkat jawani these days??
I agree with Priya. Many gems are missing in the list. Seems like the author has very little knowledge of older songs. More than 70% of songs are from last 5 or 6 years.
In the first half of her career, her films were bad but songs were good. Do revisit them. Songs from Refugee, Mujhe Kuch Kehna Hai, Asoka, Aitraaz, Yaadein, Ajnabee, Chameli, Khushi, even LOC were better than most songs you have here.
HOT SONGS of Kareena Kapoor. My list
1. Fevicol Se – Dabangg 2 (Lovely ass)
2. Muskaanein Jhooti hai – Talaash (WOW legs)
3. Halkat Jawani – Heroine (Super sexy)
4. Dil Mera Muft Ka – Agent Vinod (Ample cleavage)
5. Chammak Challo – Ra.One (Rocked the Saree)
6. Ye Mera Dil – Don (Skin show at it’s best)
7. Chhaliya – Tashan (Kareena in two piece bikini)
8. It’s Rocking – Kya Love Story Hai (Only thing good about the film)
9. Bebo Main Bebo – Kambakht Ishq (Again, great skin show. Kareena looked sexy)
10. Teri Meri – Bodyguard (At her most sensual best in this song)
Those are Kareena Top 10 Hottest Songs. Thumbs up if you agree.
Including Ye Mera Dil is a disgrace. It was Helen’s song, she made it iconic. Not Kareena.
