A football-themed extravaganza

The birthday setup was all about football vibes. White and blue balloons filled the room. They evoked Messi’s iconic FC Barcelona colors.

From tiny football props to Messi-inspired touches, the decor paid homage to the football star’s No. 10 jersey.

When Kareena and Taimur met Messi in Mumbai

The Messi connection isn’t just about the balloons. A few weeks ago, the Argentine superstar visited Mumbai for his G.O.A.T. Tour, and Kareena didn’t miss the chance to meet him with her kids, Taimur and younger son Jehangir.

Sharing a glimpse of the excitement on social media, Kareena looked effortlessly chic in a khaki outfit while Taimur wore a Messi jersey and Jeh sported one saying “Argentina.”

A birthday tradition of fun

Taimur’s birthdays have always been something to watch. Last year, Kareena and Saif Ali Khan organised a sports-themed celebration where kids enjoyed games at a playground.

The little athletes including Taimur, Jeh, and friends like Karan Johar’s son Yash, had a blast, and the videos quickly went viral. This year, the Messi-inspired theme continued the sporty, fun-filled tradition.
