She is hip, she is cool, she is just 22 and she has seen it all, the meteoric rise to stardom and then all the brickbats thrown at her, after her films fell flat on box office. Our bebo made the news when she exclaimed in an interview, "I am going to rule the industry for the next 10 years." But looking at her track records, things seem quite opposite.

Good luck has been dodging Kareena for very long time now. Her list of flops is getting longer and longer. No wonder, even she started to feel the heat and decided to play the title role in Anant Balani's low budget 'Chameli' for free.

The good times came knocking again and she signed Sanjay Leela Bhansali's Bajirao Mastani, 'Black' along with Deepa Mehta's international project. That was more than enough for Kareena to sweep off her feet. Recently, when a noted director Aparna Sen approached her for a film the actress blatantly refused stating that role wasn't exciting enough.

Has the learning not been enough or is that that old habits die hard?
