Kareena Kapoor Khan turned 45 on Sunday and the internet celebrated like it was a national event. The Bollywood diva, known for her effortless charm and timeless screen presence, was flooded with birthday wishes from all corners of the industry. But it was her own post that melted hearts the most.
Taking to Instagram, Kareena shared a heartwarming photo of herself kissing a bunch of pink birthday balloons that read: "Happy Birthday Amma." In her caption, she wrote: “Felt all the love. So grateful. Thank you to each and every one who wished me… I love you all. Busy with my boys today.”
As expected, Bebo’s birthday bash was less about glitz and more about gratitude. With her boys Taimur and Jeh keeping her hands full and her heart fuller, Kareena chose to spend her special day in her most treasured role: Amma.
The balloons in the picture weren’t just props — they were a personal touch, possibly from her little ones, adding warmth to a moment shared with millions of fans. The simplicity of the picture, paired with her message, reflected exactly where Kareena is in life: confident, loved, and surrounded by what truly matters.
Of course, Bollywood’s who's who made sure Kareena’s timeline looked like a festival. From family to co-stars to longtime friends, the industry showed up for Bebo. Soha Ali Khan, her sister-in-law, posted a throwback and called her “queen of hearts.” Karisma Kapoor dropped a carousel of memories and a heartfelt message, calling Kareena her "forever inspiration.” Celebs like Neetu Kapoor, Sonam Kapoor, Ananya Panday, Malaika Arora, Kriti Sanon, and Parineeti Chopra all joined in with stories, posts, and old photos, celebrating the woman who’s been a constant style and screen icon for over two decades.
Professionally, Kareena continues to evolve, moving seamlessly between commercial cinema and thought-provoking roles. She was last seen lighting up the screen in Rohit Shetty’s Singham Again. Up next, she’s gearing up for Meghna Gulzar’s Daayra, where she stars opposite Prithviraj Sukumaran. The film is said to be a psychological thriller-drama, a genre Kareena has rarely explored, making it one of her most anticipated projects in recent years.
While many celebrate their birthdays with grandeur, Kareena Kapoor Khan chose gratitude over glamour, reminding everyone why she continues to be adored across generations. Whether she’s walking the red carpet in couture or sharing a quiet moment with her kids, Bebo owns every frame she’s in.
Here’s to more balloons, blockbusters, and Bebo magic.
