Known for her nonchalant relationship with the media, Kapoor has gained a reputation for discussing her private life with no reservations.[55][118] As a child she

While a segment of the press has described Kapoor as friendly and extremely close to her family,[4]others have criticized her for being arrogant and vain—an image she gained in the wake of her superficial character, Poo, in Kabhi Khushi Kabhie Gham... (2001).[29] She subsequently featured in films portraying similar characters, and this further established her off- and on-screen personae.[5]Before the release of Chameli (2004) (in which she played a sex worker), Kapoor stated that "there is a certain image that people identify you with [and] [i]t always follows you whichever role you play. I am trying to transgress this image and become more screen-friendly than image-friendly."[122]Chameli helped Kapoor reinvent her on-screen persona,[29] and she later explained that her honesty and openness was often perceived by the media as arrogance.[123]
Kapoor is also known for her assertive and moody nature,[123][124] and her outspoken views and independence have been singled out for making major contributions to her career; they "add to her superstar aura".[125] In an early interview, she confessed to being an "introvert, yet [...] extremely candid and blunt", reasoning: "Total faith and complete belief in myself is my attitude towards life, films and virtually everything else. I am all about doing what I feel is right. It is not easy to pin me down as I can be a bundle of contradictions."[123] Journalist Subhash K Jha explained that while this approach has sometimes been at the cost of professional opportunities, it "makes her such a favourite among the generation that believes in self regard being the highest form of creativity [...] She lives for the moment and crams all her intensity into it, not sparing a single thought for what is gone and what is waiting around the corner."[126] Meanwhile, Anu Ahuja suggested that Kapoor's demeanour is an act; she is "cold and unapproachable so that no one will act funny with her".[127]
Today, Kapoor is considered as one of the most popular Bollywood celebrities in India.[128] Her look and performances have established her as a style icon for young women.[10][129] In a 2009 poll conducted by the newspaper Daily News and Analysis Kapoor was voted one of India's most popular icons;[130] with her partner Saif Ali Khan, she was listed amongst the top celebrity endorsers for brands and products worldwide.[131] She became the only Indian actress to be featured on CNNGo's list of "Who Mattered Most in India",[2] and was later selected by Verve for its list of the country's most powerful women from 2008 to 2010.[132][133][134] In June 2010 Kapoor was described as "India's Most Beautiful Woman" by People;[2] Eastern Eye and Maxim named her as "Asia's Sexiest Woman" and "India's Hottest Woman" in 2011 and 2012 respectively.[135] The following year, she ranked seventh on Forbes' list of India's biggest entertainers[136] and was later selected by India Today for its list of the country's most influential women
