‘Hell nah this is not Kareena Kapoor’: Poorly animated avatar of actor at Pakistan party leaves people in splits
A Pakistani DJ is receiving backlash from Kareena Kapoor fans for creating a "poorly animated" version of the actor.
A video featuring a poorly animated avatar of actor Kareena Kapoor Khan at a rave party in Pakistan has sparked anger - and laughter - among her fans. The video, shared by a DJ, shows the animated version of the actor dancing on a screen to with loud music in the background.
Hamza Haris, whose bio says he's a “Quintessential Karachi Boi,” shared the video on Instagram with a note explaining what inspired him to create the actor’s animated version. “Been working on this track for a minute, and I finally wrapped it up just in time for the show. I knew if I was gonna play it, it had to have a visual. The track was inspired while I was watching Kabhi Khushi Kabhie Gham, and I sampled that iconic moment when Pooh says—well, you know the line. So I thought, why not have Kareena Kapoor dancing? It’s iconic. It’s chaotic. And honestly, no one’s done that at a rave before,” he wrote.

“We pulled it off—and it was a hit. The crowd went wild. Just hoping Karan Johar and Kareena Kapoor Khan see this someday and get how funny, unexpected, and hype it was,” he continued.
The video opens with a text insert that reads, "POV: You're at a rave in Karachi, Pakistan and Kareena Kapoor starts dancing in front of you." The video then shows the dancing avatar wearing what resembles a formal outfit, with its hair tightly in a ponytail.
