Refugee, which came out in 2000, was the debut film for both Kareena and Abhishek. Directed by J. P. Dutta, the film told the story of a man who helps people cross the borders between India, Pakistan, and Bangladesh through the Great Rann of Kutch. It was loosely based on a short story called Love Across the Salt Desert by Keki N. Daruwalla. The film was one of the top earners of that year.
Kareena went on to become one of the most popular actresses in the country, with hit films like Jab We Met, Kabhi Khushi Kabhie Gham, Omkara, and Udta Punjab among many others.
