Bollywood icons Priyanka Chopra and Kareena Kapoor Khan have once again proven that the days of industry rivalries are long behind them. Marking Kareena’s 46th birthday, Priyanka took to social media to share a warm tribute, posting a stunning photograph of the birthday girl dressed in a vibrant, rainbow-toned leheriya saree from her recent promotional rounds for ‘Daayra’. Priyanka captioned the post with a sweet message, writing, “Happy Birthday @kareenakapoorkhan. There will never be anyone like you.”
This affectionate gesture has sparked nostalgia among fans, who still remember the duo’s early days in the industry. While the media once painted them as fierce competitors following their collaboration in the 2004 thriller ‘Aitraaz’, the stars have since evolved into mutual admirers. Priyanka previously opened up about their shifting dynamic on ‘Koffee With Karan’, admitting that they simply didn’t spend enough time together early on, but eventually grew to get along quite well. The admiration is clearly mutual, as Kareena previously cheered on Priyanka’s international success by sending her a message praising her “global domination” on her own birthday.
As Kareena celebrates her big day, she is also riding the wave of her latest professional success. The actor was recently seen headlining the crime thriller ‘Daayra’, directed by Meghna Gulzar. In the film, Kareena teams up with Prithviraj Sukumaran to play police officers, a performance that has garnered decent reviews from both critics and audiences since its theatrical release last Friday.
Meanwhile, Priyanka Chopra is gearing up for a major return to Indian cinema. The global star is currently preparing for the highly anticipated action-adventure film ‘Varanasi’. Helmed by visionary director SS Rajamouli and co-starring Telugu superstar Mahesh Babu, the project is already creating a massive buzz ahead of its scheduled release in April 2027.
