Kareena Kapoor recently attended a star-studded event in Mumbai, which was also graced by some of the popular celebrities, including Karan Johar, Vicky Kaushal, Ishaan Khatter, Imtiaz Ali and others.

Shabana Azmi was also at the event and shared a sweet moment with Kareena. Despite being modest and straightforward, the exchange showed warmth and respect for one another.

Kareena looked amazing for the event in a floor-length, maroon gown that was off the shoulder. She accessorised it with bold jewellery and traditional makeup. Shabana maintained her elegant appearance by wearing a pink sari with a blue blouse that contrasted with it.

Kareena saw Shabana waiting for her car in the video. She approached her out of concern and gave her a big hug. She asked about the delay and said, “I won’t leave you alone.”

As they waited together, the two exchanged a few words. Kareena quickly learned, though, that her own vehicle was obstructing traffic outside the venue. She checked to see if Shabana would feel safe alone again before leaving to clear traffic.

On the work front, Kareena will be starring alongside Prithviraj Sukumaran in the upcoming film Daayra. Meghna Gulzar, renowned for her multi-layered narrative, is the director of the investigative crime drama Daayra.

By exploring the morally ambiguous areas that arise when a single occurrence upends numerous lives, the movie examines the intricate relationship between crime, punishment, and justice.

The story explores how society views responsibility and guilt, posing difficult but essential queries regarding the legal system and human conscience.

Vikas Khanna's emotional drama Imaginary Rain, which is based on his own book and stars Shabana opposite Prateik Smita Patil, is her next big endeavour. It's a story about food, family, and strong emotional bonds.

Additionally, she is a member of the ensemble cast of the Nitin Kakkar-directed thriller Awarapan 2, which will be released on April 3, 2026, and reunites her with Emraan Hashmi and Disha Patani.
