Cinema VinesOn August 15, Kareena Kapoor Khan celebrated India’s 80th Independence Day by sharing a heartfelt Instagram post that showcased a drawing of the national flag created by her eight‑year‑old son, Taimur Ali Khan. The illustration, set against a blue sky and green grass, features the tricolour and was posted as a sweet, personal tribute to the nation’s milestone.
Kapoor’s post was part of a wave of patriotic messages from Bollywood stars. Shah Rukh Khan posted a photo of himself with a message about the pride of being Indian, while veteran actor Amitabh Bachchan shared a flag image and wrote, “A day of independence; an auspicious day for greetings! Vande Mataram!!!” Akshay Kumar added his wishes, “May the pride of our flag remain intact, may hope reign in every heart and the dream of a better tomorrow in every eye.”
In addition to the celebrations, Kapoor is preparing for the release of her upcoming thriller Daayra, directed by Meghna Gulzar and starring Prithviraj Sukumaran. The film is slated for theatrical release on 18 September 2026.
