Bollywood star Kareena Kapoor Khan is reportedly set to meet football legend Lionel Messi during his visit to Mumbai, a development that has already generated considerable excitement among fans across social media platforms.
According to media reports, the meeting is expected to take place on December 14, as Messi continues his India visit ahead of the much-anticipated G.O.A.T India Tour 2025. A source cited by Zoom claimed that the World Cup-winning footballer is currently in Mumbai, where several high-profile interactions with prominent personalities have been planned.
The buzz around the possible Kareena–Messi meeting comes shortly after Shah Rukh Khan met the Argentine footballer at Kolkata’s Salt Lake Stadium. During that interaction, Shah Rukh also introduced his son AbRam to Messi, a moment that quickly captured public attention.
Videos and photographs of AbRam receiving an autograph and posing with Messi went viral, further fuelling excitement surrounding the football icon’s India tour.
This visit marks Messi’s second trip to India, following his first appearance in the country in 2011. His presence has sparked enthusiasm among football fans nationwide, particularly in cities such as Mumbai and Hyderabad, where supporters have eagerly followed updates related to his movements and public appearances.
Fans are now keenly awaiting photographs or confirmation of Kareena Kapoor Khan’s meeting with Messi, which would mark another memorable crossover between Bollywood and global sports. The prospect of two international icons coming together has added to the overall buzz surrounding Messi’s stay in India.
On the professional front, Kareena Kapoor Khan remains busy with her upcoming project Daayra, directed by Meghna Gulzar. The film also stars Prithviraj Sukumaran in a key role and is among the actress’s most awaited releases.
