Bollywood actor Kareena Kapoor took her sons, Taimur and Jeh Ali Khan, to meet football legend Lionel Messi in Mumbai as part of his G.O.A.T. India Tour 2025 today. Photos and videos from the meet have now surfaced online, and one fan moment in particular has caught everyone’s attention.
Little Jeh has his own mission
In a video doing the rounds on social media, Kareena is seen posing happily with her sons and Messi during a photo session. Once the pictures were done, Kareena stepped aside to let others take their turn. While Kareena and Taimur moved ahead, Jeh chose to stay there with Messi. The little one walked straight up to Messi and stood firmly next to him, clearly not ready to leave.
Kareena put up a heartwarming smile, then gently pulled Jeh away, creating a cute and funny moment that fans can’t stop talking about. Social media users were quick to react, calling Jeh “a mood” and describing the moment as adorable and hilarious.
Earlier, Kareena had shared a photo on Instagram where she is seen holding her sons’ hands while walking out of a room. For the occasion, Kareena wore a khaki one-piece outfit, while Taimur and Jeh were dressed in football jerseys. Taimur’s jersey had Messi’s name printed on it, while Jeh’s featured “Argentina”.
Kareena has earlier shared that her sons are more interested in sports stars than film celebrities. In a podcast with Soha Ali Khan, she revealed how Taimur often asks her if she knows cricketers like Rohit Sharma or Virat Kohli, or even Lionel Messi, leaving her amused by his curiosity.
