Uploading moments to her Instagram Stories, the actress revealed how her husband Saif Ali Khan and their younger son, Jehangir Ali Khan, dedicated their time to sculpting an eco-friendly clay idol of Lord Ganesha right in their living space.

Embracing Diverse Family Traditions
Both Kareena Kapoor Khan and Saif Ali Khan continue to honour and practice the rich, varied cultural traditions belonging to both sides of their family. While Kareena hails from the Punjabi heritage of the Kapoor family, Saif belongs to the Muslim royal lineage of the Pataudis. Alongside their sons Taimur and Jeh, the couple regularly participates in celebrations across different faiths with equal warmth. Kareena has previously spoken about how seamlessly their household integrates diverse religious festivals. She pointed out that Christmas holds as prominent a place in their calendar as Diwali, while Eid gatherings remain a cornerstone of their domestic life. From lively Christmas luncheons and radiant Diwali evenings to family feasts featuring signature biryani on Eid, their home consistently reflects a harmonious fusion of heritage.
Upcoming Release For Investigative Thriller Daayra
Alongside her festive updates, Kareena is gearing up for the theatrical arrival of her upcoming project Daayra, in which she stars alongside Prithviraj Sukumaran. Directed by Meghna Gulzar, the feature is scheduled to hit cinema screens on 18 September. Inspired by real-life happenings, the plot delves into themes of crime, punitive consequences, and the intense social debate surrounding immediate retribution versus deliberate legal justice. It explores the immediate public outrage that erupts following a severe offense, followed by the rigorous legal proceedings and police investigations required to deliver justice. Promoting the venture, the filmmakers recently released the track titled Sach Ka Daayra, rendered by vocalist B Praak with lyrics penned by veteran lyricist Gulzar.
