Bollywood celebs aren’t done with Diwali parties yet and are seen flocking to each other’s homes for celebrations. Recently, Kareena Kapoor Khan partied with Alia Bhatt, Ranbir Kapoor and the Kapoor clan, along with other friends, on Diwali night.
Kareena ditched the usual traditional ensemble but turned heads with a stylish kaftan by designer Punit Balana. The flowing silhouette featured intricate silver embroidery, giving the outfit a regal vibe.
Styled by Rhea Kapoor, Kareena wore a real silver-work kaftan by Punit Balana, paired with a turban adorned with a kalgi and statement jewels. Saif wore the kalgi on his wedding day, as did the Nawab of Bhopal.
The actor wore a 200-year-old kalgi that once belonged to the Nawab of Bhopal, along with a 30-carat emerald necklace belonging to the Begum of Bhopal. The emerald, notably, is carved with Ayat-ul-Kursi, a verse from the Quran. These are heirlooms from the Bhopal royal family that have come through Saif Ali Khan’s side of the family. His grandmother, Sajida Sultan, was the daughter of the last ruling Nawab of Bhopal.
Saif had worn the heirloom kalgi for a photoshoot featured in the 2016 edition of Harper’s Bazaar Bride.
However, netizens were not happy with Kareena’s outfit and slammed her look. Some even compared her to singer Harshdeep Kaur. Celebrity stylist and social media influencer Sufi Motiwala also gave a critical review of her outfit, and Kareena took it sportingly, replying to his comment with a laughing emoji.
At the Diwali party, Kareena met the who’s who of Bollywood. Kareena Kapoor and Fardeen Khan recently reunited at a Diwali celebration, taking a trip down memory lane for fans of their 2004 film Fida.
Sufi posted a video tearing down Kareena’s Diwali look but the queen that Kareena is , responded in such a classy way ???… love it https://t.co/hhrkAwOU4A
