Bollywood moments that come full circle

Actor Anupam Kher shared a heartwarming story on X, revisiting his first meeting with Kareena Kapoor Khan on the sets of J.P. Dutta’s Refugee back in 2000—her debut film. He recalled a young Kareena as stunning, confident yet vulnerable, restless to succeed, and beautifully real.

Fast forward 25 years, fate reunited them mid-air during a flight journey. What followed was a warm conversation about life, work, and everything in between. Anupam Kher reflected on how Kareena has grown into a fine, elegant actress, while still retaining her hunger for great roles, her authenticity, and her love for meaningful conversations.

Calling the reunion “delightfully happy,” Kher thanked Kareena for her warmth and appreciation, ending his note with love, prayers, and his trademark humor—yes, he still looks the same! 💫💛

IN FLIGHT WITH KAREENA: First time I met #Bebo was on the sets of JP Dutta’s #Refugee! Year was 2000! And It was her debut film. She was stunningly beautiful, confident yet vulnerable, restless to make it big (which she did) and amazingly real as a person! Over the years I have watched her grow into a very fine and elegant actress! Yesterday, we were in the same flight! We chatted about lots of things. 25 years later was delightfully happy to find that she is hungry for great roles, remains a beautiful person who still is real and loves conversations. Thank you dearest #Kareena for your warmth and appreciation! Yes! I do look the same in all these years. May God keep you and your family happy and healthy! Love and prayers always.  # #Diva Actor #KareenaKapoor”
