A recently surfaced clip of Kareena Kapoor Khan speaking with actors Vijay Varma and Jaideep Ahlawat has once again sparked interest in an unconventional chapter of her life, her short stint at Harvard University. In the clip, Kareena shared that she had at one point signed up for a short course in microcomputers at the elite institution, vamping up by boasting that she was the first member of the Kapoor family to attend Harvard.

While the claim raised doubts, Kareena was quick to address it and said that it was a real course, and yes, she did attend, though only for a few months. As she joked, it was too intense to keep up with, and hence dropped out early.
Prior to becoming one of Bollywood’s highest bankable stars, Kareena had experimented with alternative careers. She studied law for a brief period at Government Law College in Mumbai, but confessed she lost interest pretty quickly. Her Harvard stint came later, motivated by curiosity and the urge to see what lay beyond the Bollywood scene rather than any deep academic desire.
Even though she dropped out of the course, Kareena has good memories of her experience at the Harvard campus. She described how those couple of months provided her with a sense of freedom and an insight into a completely different world. She even carried around a picture from the time to remind herself of the strange experience.

Even her sister Karisma and her mother Babita were reluctant to make the transition initially. But Kareena, never one to follow the rules, signed up anyway, laughing later that she signed up more out of enjoyment than computer science.
