Alia Bhatt won accolades for her acting prowess in Gangubai Kathiawadi. However, art always differs from the audiences perspective. As the new norm of blending entertainment with artificial intelligence takes over, Reddit users reacted to Kareena Kapoor's transformation as Gangubai Kathiawadi. An Instagram handle called Bollyvert AI had shared a video where Kareena features in iconic scenes from Sanjay Leela Bhansali's biographical-drama.

Netizens divided over Kareena Kapoor's Gangubai transformation
Although there is nothing new about actors being reimagined as popular movie characters, Reddit users had a different perspective about it. While some fans still rooted for Alia, others agreed that Kareena was perfect to portray Gangubai. A section of netizens even suggested Vidya Balan and Priyanka Chopra's AI version. A fan commented, “Uff reminds me of bebo in chameli. She was so effortless in that one.” Another netizen opined, “Unpopular opinion but Alia Bhatt was terribly miscast in this movie.” A user also captioned his comment as, “That makes me wonder, why didn't slb choose Kareena. Alia could have played the younger part and Kareena the older part. Alia was great, no doubt. But Kareena could have been more impactful I guess.” While a cinephile supported Alia and pointed out, "Since when did Bebo become such an ‘actress’ that she could play this role (skeleton face emoji)."
