Kareena surprises Shabana with a hug

Kareena Kapoor and Shabana Azmi shared a heartwarming moment at a recent Mumbai event.

For the evening, Kareena looked stunning in a maroon off-the-shoulder, floor-length gown, styled with statement jewellery and classic makeup. Shabana exuded elegance in a pink sari paired with a contrasting blue blouse, keeping her look graceful. In the clip, Kareena notices that Shabana is waiting for her car. Concerned, she walked up to her, gave her a warm hug. She asked about the delay and said, “I won’t leave you alone.” The two spoke briefly as they waited together. However, Kareena was soon informed that her own car was blocking traffic outside the venue. Before stepping away, she once again checked whether Shabana would be comfortable on her own, then left to ease traffic.

Kareena and Shabana's upcoming work

She is also part of the ensemble cast of the thriller Awarapan 2, which reunites her with Emraan Hashmi and Disha Patani, directed by Nitin Kakkar and scheduled for release on April 3, 2026.
