A Dream Come True: Kareena Kapoor Khan and Her Sons Meet Their Hero, Lionel Messi, in Mumbai

Mumbai’s celebrity circuit merged with global sporting stardom on Sunday, December 14, 2025, when Bollywood powerhouse Kareena Kapoor Khan introduced her sons, Taimur Ali Khan and Jehangir Ali Khan (Jeh), to their football idol, the Argentine legend Lionel Messi.

The heartwarming meet-and-greet, part of Messi's highly anticipated "GOAT India Tour 2025," took place at the Cricket Club of India (CCI) in Mumbai and instantly became the most-talked-about family celebrity moment of the tour.

The Fanboy Moment

The excitement of the family was palpable even before the meeting began, with Kareena documenting their preparation on social media.

The Uniform: The boys arrived dressed for the occasion. Elder son Taimur proudly sported a customized Argentina jersey bearing Messi's name and the iconic number 10. Younger son Jeh wore a jersey simply reading "Argentina," showing tribute to the World Cup-winning squad.

The Anticipation: Sharing a picture of herself leading the boys out, Kareena captioned the post, “Got dressed up to take the boys to meet their hero. Thank you to my @hsbc_in family for making it happen.” The image perfectly captured the mix of elegance and pure fan enthusiasm.

The encounter was a particularly special moment for Taimur, whose mother has previously revealed that he is far more interested in knowing sports stars than actors, having once asked her if she had Lionel Messi's contact number.

The Picture-Perfect Moment

Videos and photos from the event quickly went viral, capturing the magic of the moment.

The star family posed with Messi, who was also accompanied by his Inter Miami teammates, Luis Suárez and Rodrigo De Paul.

Jeh's Adorable Reaction: The youngest Khan, Jeh, stole the show with a truly adorable fan moment. After the photo session wrapped up, a viral video showed Jeh refusing to leave Messi's side, standing firmly next to the football star until an amused Kareena gently pulled him away. The moment resonated widely with fans, who joked about the two-year-old being unwilling to part ways with the GOAT.

Kareena's Look: The actress chose an elegant yet strong "boss lady" look for the occasion, wearing a distinctive khaki-brown coat detailed with embroidered elephant motifs, paired with a matching midi skirt.

Messi's Tour of Star Power

The meeting underscored the massive crossover appeal of the "GOAT India Tour 2025," which has seen Bollywood and cricket royalty line up to meet the Argentine maestro.

Kareena and her sons' meeting followed a similar high-profile encounter in Kolkata, where superstar Shah Rukh Khan introduced his youngest son, AbRam, to Messi, 
solidifying Messi's place not just as a global icon, but as the childhood hero who visited their city.
