Bollywood star Kareena Kapoor Khan turned Lionel Messi's visit into a special family outing by meeting the football icon with her sons Taimur Ali Khan and Jehangir Ali Khan during the Mumbai leg of his G.O.A.T. Tour 2025 on December 14.

The meeting took place ahead of Messi's packed schedule in the city, which included participation in the Padel GOAT Cup at the Cricket Club of India and a major appearance at Wankhede Stadium. Kareena attended the event with her children, both of whom are avid football enthusiasts, making the encounter a cherished moment for the family.

Earlier, Kareena had built anticipation by sharing a glimpse on social media of her walking out with Taimur and Jeh, dressed casually yet elegantly in a khaki outfit. The boys were in high spirits, wearing football jerseys—one proudly displaying Messi's name and the other featuring "Argentina" as a tribute to the World Cup-winning team.
