Kareena Kapoor Khan, one of the most successful and popular actresses of Hindi cinema, has achieved immense fame and many prestigious awards in her film career. In her career spanning more than two decades, she has given many blockbuster films, but despite this huge success, there is one lack in her life which she has not been able to forget even today. Recently, Kareena Kapoor's pain came out openly during a podcast interview, where she admitted that the regret of leaving formal education after 11th class in a hurry to make a career in films still haunts her. 'I followed my heart, but always had the regret of incomplete education' During an exclusive conversation with podcaster Hanuman Das, Kareena Kapoor recalled her early life and study days. Speaking very honestly, he said that even though he had many opportunities to complete a good education, his passion for acting at an early age became so dominant that he left school after 11th class. Kareena said that she knows that many people may make fun of this or express their opinion, but at that time she just wanted to prove herself as an actress and was following her heart. However, at this stage of age and experience they deeply realize the importance of formal education in life. The effect of this personal regret is clearly visible on Kareena Kapoor's parenting style. Saif Ali Khan and Kareena Kapoor's sons Taimur Ali Khan and Jahangir Ali Khan (Jeh) are often in the news on social media and paparazzi, but Kareena has taken a strict decision regarding their future. Kareena says that she has given clear instructions to both her sons that they can become whatever they want to be, but they will have to complete their studies first. Whether they go into sports or cinema, it is only after completing a higher education degree that they will be able to pursue their passion professionally. She spoke on Taimur's sports career: It is not necessary to become an actor like the family. During the interview, when Kareena was asked about the future of her elder son Taimur, she smilingly said that she considers herself a 'football and cricket mom'. Taimur has a keen interest in sports and wants to play cricket or football for India at the international level. Kareena clarified that being part of the Kapoor and Pataudi families does not mean that her children will be forced to enter the world of acting. She will fully support the dreams of her children, provided there is no compromise in their basic and higher education. The real reason behind her association with UNICEF and girls' education: Kareena Kapoor has been associated with UNICEF India since 2014 as a celebrity advocate and national ambassador. She has been continuously raising her voice for basic education of girls, gender equality and children's rights to learn across the country. Kareena emotionally revealed that when UNICEF had requested her to join the campaign for girls' education, the issue was very close to her heart because she herself understood the pain of having to drop out of her studies. She wants that every girl in the country should get full opportunity and rights to complete her education. How was Kareena Kapoor's initial educational journey? Kareena Kapoor completed her early schooling from the prestigious Jamnabai Narsee School in Mumbai and then from the famous Welham Girls School in Dehradun. He later studied for some time at Mithibai College, Mumbai and also did a short-term course in microcomputers from Harvard Summer School. After this he also took admission in Government Law College, but in the year 2000, J.P. Due to Dutta's debut with the much-awaited film 'Refugee' at the age of just 19, his formal higher education remained incomplete.
