  • Kareena Kapoor and Alia Bhatt met Rujuta Diwekar in Mumbai
  • They enjoyed a cosy catch-up and posed for a candid photo
  • Rujuta highlighted traditional Maharashtrian food in her post

Kareena Kapoor Khan and Alia Bhatt had a cosy, Mumbai kind of catch-up with celebrity nutritionist Rujuta Diwekar, and the moment quickly found its way to Instagram.

On Wednesday, Rujuta shared a picture on her Instagram Stories featuring the two actors seated beside her on a couch. Kareena, dressed casually in a sleeveless dark top and blue jeans, leaned in with a wide smile. Alia kept it relaxed too, wearing a light printed kurta set, her hair down, sitting cross-legged and smiling softly at the camera. Rujuta, who sat in the middle in a blue striped outfit, had an arm around both of them, making the snapshot feel more like a friends-at-home moment than a formal pose.

The caption on the Story read, “Post pithla bhakri pose with the two best girls,” along with sparkle emojis. Rujuta also tagged Kareena and Alia in the post, with their Instagram handles visible on the image.

While the photo itself did not show the meal, the reference to pithla bhakri instantly struck a chord with Maharashtrian food lovers. Pithla, a gram flour curry, and bhakri, a rustic flatbread, are comfort staples across Maharashtra, often celebrated for being simple, filling, and made with everyday ingredients. Rujuta has long been known for advocating traditional Indian meals and local, seasonal eating, so the mention fit right into her usual wellness philosophy.

A second text bubble on the Story added a playful fan-girl touch, reading, “Woww aliaaa bhatt,” with fire emojis, underlining the excitement around the get-together.

The background in the photo added to the homely vibe: a large framed artwork dominated the wall behind them, and the room’s muted tones kept the focus on the trio. With no heavy styling or staged set-up, the picture felt candid and warm.

Rujuta is popular for her no-fad approach to nutrition and often highlights how everyday Indian foods can be both satisfying and balanced. This Story was in that same lane: familiar food, familiar faces, and a reminder that comfort can be part of the routine.
