Kareena Kapoor Khan in talks to play ‘Poo’ in a Netflix series

Kareena Kapoor Khan, who was recently seen in Veere Di Wedding (2018), has essayed a variety of roles over the years, but her sassy character ‘Poo’ from Karan Johar’s multi-starrer Kabhi Khushi Kabhie Gham (2001), has etched in our memory so well that it immediately pops up in our head whenever we think of the diva’s best performances.

Whoever saw Bebo’s ultra-glamorous and bold ‘Poo’ avatar in the blockbuster movie could not stop gushing over it. Now you must be wondering why we are talking so much about the character at this hour of the day.


Actually, we have learnt that almost two decades later, Netflix is planning a digital series around a character that is inspired by ‘Poo’. The series will revolve around a 35-year-old woman who will be like ‘Poo’.

If reports are to be believed, the streaming media giant is in talks with Kareena Kapoor Khan to reprise the role in the series.

“Kareena is in talks with Netflix and she has loved the script of a show which will feature her as a woman in her mid-30s. Her character has been inspired from Kabhi Khushi Kabhie Gham’s ‘Poo’ which was loved by the audiences. Bebo is quite excited to return as a 35-year-old ‘Poo’ with some new flavours of drama added to it.”

An official announcement is awaited though.
