Two decades after Kabhi Khushi Kabhie Gham (K3G) hit theaters, Kareena Kapoor Khan’s portrayal of the fashionable, sassy, and unforgettable 'Poo' remains etched in pop culture history. In a recent interview, the actress expressed both pride and gratitude for the legacy of a role that continues to resonate with audiences.

"'Poo is not just a character; she became a phenomenon," Kareena said. “Even today, I see memes, reels, and fan recreations. It’s amazing how she still inspires fashion and confidence.”

Released in 2001, K3G was a multi-starrer Bollywood blockbuster directed by Karan Johar. While the film boasted a stellar cast including Amitabh Bachchan, Shah Rukh Khan, Kajol, and Hrithik Roshan, it was Kareena's portrayal of the self-assured, stylish Pooja Sharma—better known as Poo—that became a cultural benchmark for Gen Z and millennials alike.

Kareena noted that the character’s longevity is a testament to how certain roles go beyond the screen. “I’ve played so many roles, but Poo’s connection with fans is magical. It’s humbling to know she still lives on.”

She also gave credit to filmmaker Karan Johar for crafting such a distinct personality. “Karan had a vision for Poo, and together we created someone unforgettable.”

Fans continue to keep Poo alive on social media, with countless tributes surfacing during fashion weeks, award shows, and viral trends. Whether it's a Halloween costume or a viral TikTok audio, Poo's legacy remains firmly intact.

As Kareena gears up for her next slate of roles, the magic of Poo reminds us of how one character, when portrayed with flair and conviction, can transcend generations.
