Kareena also was blessed with good music in her career, with songs like “mujhe kuch kehna hai”, “rabba meri rabba”, from the film Mujhe Kuch Kehna Hai, “panchi nadiya”, “mere humsafar mere humsafar” from the film Refuge, all becoming landmark hits.

Karishma Kapoor on the other hand had to struggle in the early part of her career, and proved her callibre after performing well in Dharmesh Darshan’s romantic film Raja Hindustani opposite Amir Khan. She also won the filmfare best actress award for her performance in the film. She did well in the film Bibi No. 1 opposite Salman Khan where he was involved with Sushmita Sen and Karishma had to take the help of Anil Kapoor and Tabu to prove that she was the real housewife and Salman Khan could not have lived peacefully with Sushmita who failed to fulfil any household duties.
