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.
