According to Wikipedia, Kapoor followed her success in Bodyguard and Ra.One with a role in Shakun Batra’s directorial debut Ek Main Aur Ekk Tu (2012) opposite Imran Khan. Set in Las Vegas, the romantic comedy follows the story of two strangers who get married one night after getting drunk.

She played Riana Braganza, a carefree young woman, and was particularly drawn to the qualities of her character: “Riana knows what she is doing. Even though she does not have a house or a job, she is a positive person, very similar to the way I am.” The film received positive reviews and was an economic success, grossing a total of ₹530 million (US$8.2 million) in India and abroad.

The Hollywood Reporter found her “endearingly natural”; Sukanya Verma of Rediff.com asserted that “after doing ornamental roles in films like Bodyguard and Ra.One, it is nice to see the spunky actress in her element again since Jab We Met.”

She next appeared in Agent Vinod, an espionage thriller directed by Sriram Raghavan. Kapoor was enthusiastic about the project, but it met with a tepid response and she was described as miscast. When asked why she had taken the role, Kapoor described it as an opportunity to attempt something she had never done before.

For her next feature, Kapoor was cast as the protagonist of Madhur Bhandarkar’s Heroine, a drama revolving around the Bollywood film industry. Originally the first choice for the role, Kapoor was hesitant to take on the project when Bhandarkar approached her with the film’s initial concept.

With reservations about the criticism her character might evoke, she was replaced by Aishwarya Rai. Days after production began, Rai left the film (due to her pregnancy) and Bhandarkar re-approached Kapoor with the film. When the director reinforced his faith in her, she agreed to do the film after having read the completed script.

Kapoor (who described her character of Mahi Arora—a fading star—as “bipolar and schizophrenic”) refrained from taking on any other projects, since she found Heroine “very aggressive and tiring”. Reviewers found the film to be “drably monotonous”, but noted that it was watchable primarily due to Kapoor’s performance.

Rajeev Masand described it as “a deliciously camp performance,” played “with utmost sincerity”. Bollywood Hungama opined that it was her best work to date and concluded that “though her character is inconsistent Kareena furnishes the heroine’s character with a rare vulnerability and an exceptional inner life.”

At the annual Stardust Awards, Kapoor garnered the Editor’s Choice for Best Actress, and received additional nominations at Filmfare, IIFA, Producers Guild, Screen and Stardust.

On 16 October 2012, Kapoor married actor Saif Ali Khan in a private ceremony in Bandra, Mumbai, and a reception was later held at The Taj Mahal Palace Hotel and the Lutyens Bungalow Zone in Mumbai and Delhi respectively.
