Kareena Kapoor Khan shares heartfelt birthday wish for Priyanka Chopra, calls her "extraordinary"
New Delhi, July 18
Kareena Kapoor Khan marked Priyanka Chopra's 44th birthday with a heartfelt social media tribute on Saturday, sharing a monochrome throwback photograph of the two actors and describing her industry peer as "extraordinary".
Posting the black-and-white image on her Instagram story, Kareena shared a candid, joyful moment featuring the two stars. The throwback photograph was sourced from Koffee With Karan, where the two stars appeared for a special episode.
Alongside the image, Kareena wrote, "Happy birthday to the extraordinary PC.. Sky will always be the limit for you... Have the best day." The message was accompanied by a heart emoji and a rainbow.
The two actors have previously shared screen space in 'Aitraaz' and 'Don', making Kareena's birthday greeting a nostalgic moment for fans of their on-screen collaborations.
Priyanka Chopra is celebrating her 44th birthday today, with the occasion also bringing a major professional update for her fans.
The makers of 'Varanasi', director SS Rajamouli's upcoming globe-trotting epic, unveiled Priyanka's new look from the film. She will play the character Mandakini, who is introduced in a fierce and commanding avatar.
Sharing the character reveal, the makers wrote, "To more adventures.... more discoveries... and journeys across every horizon."
In the newly released still, Priyanka appears in a bold, dramatic look, wearing a dark corset-style top with high-neck detailing and sheer elements that create a gothic, warrior-inspired aesthetic. Her voluminous updo and the fire-lit backdrop add to the powerful visual presentation of the character.
The reveal comes as production on 'Varanasi' enters its final phase. In June, SS Rajamouli shared an update on the film's progress following his appearance at the Annecy Animation Festival, where the project's first glimpse was unveiled.
'Varanasi' is scheduled for a worldwide theatrical release on April 7, 2027.

Honestly, I find these industry friendships a bit overhyped. They're all just posting for PR most of the time. But I guess it's nice that they maintain some camaraderie. The real news here is Rajamouli's 'Varanasi' - that's going to be a masterpiece, mark my words. SS Rajamouli never disappoints.
Kareena and Priyanka in 'Aitraaz' was iconic! Two powerhouse actresses in one frame - what a throwback. ❤️ And now PC is doing Rajamouli's film? She's really living her dream. This Mandakini look is fierce, I hope the movie does justice to her talent. Happy birthday to the global icon!
Kareena's message is so classy - "sky will always be the limit for you" - that's exactly what PC is. From Bollywood to Hollywood, she's done it all. But I have to say, I'm a bit skeptical about 'Varanasi'. Rajamouli is amazing, but this gothic look seems a bit out of sync with the title. Hope the story works.
It's great to see this kind of support among colleagues. Kareena's message feels genuine, not just a PR move. And Priyanka's career trajectory is truly inspiring - from Bollywood to global projects. The Mandakini reveal looks intriguing; Rajamouli knows how to create visual spectacles. Can't wait for 2027!
