It is offers raining for Bollywood heroines who have in many cases outshone their male counterparts in grabbing juicy endorsements. And who can manage to get a sought-after endorsement if not the leading lady of Bollywood Kareena Kapoor? The news is that Bebo has made all the other heroines go green with envy as she bagged a whopping Rs 5 crore endorsement for herself with a lemonade brand.

Kareena had been the face of the brand for a popular cola company. As that contract ceased, she wasted no particular time as that juicy offer quickly fell on her lap. After this Kareena will be endorsing 16 brands that will make her one of the most popular ad faces in the current era.
