It was June 30, 2000, when two Bollywood careers were born, Abhishek Bachchan and Kareena Kapoor Khan. JP Dutta launched them in a film about cross-border terrorism and a love story during the tumultuous period of partition. The debuts were massively awaited since it marked the arrival of Amitabh Bachchan’s son and Randhir Kapoor’s daughter.

Apart from the soulful soundtrack by Anu Malik for which he won the National Award, ‘Refugee’ was also praised for the lead’s performances. As the film clocked 21 years, Khan penned a note and expressed how she feels upon completing two decades and a year in the Hindi film industry. She wrote- "21 years. Grateful, happy, blessed, motivated, passionate... 21 more to go... I`m ready. Thank you to everyone for the continuous love and support."
