Kareena Kapoor Khan celebrated her 46th birthday on September 21, 2026, with wishes pouring in from family, friends and colleagues across the film industry. However, one of the most talked-about birthday posts came from her elder sister, actress Karisma Kapoor.
Karisma marked the special occasion by sharing a nostalgic photograph from the sisters’ childhood. The picture showed a young Karisma posing for the camera while little Kareena sat beside her. Karisma accompanied the throwback with a heartfelt birthday message celebrating their bond and their years of growing up together.
While the post was originally meant to celebrate the sisters’ relationship, fans soon noticed something else in the photograph. Many social media users felt that the young Kareena looked remarkably similar to her younger son, Jehangir Ali Khan, popularly known as Jeh.
Karisma Kapoor’s Birthday Tribute
Karisma Kapoor shared the childhood photograph on social media as part of her birthday tribute to Kareena. The picture offered fans a glimpse into the sisters’ early years, long before both became prominent names in Bollywood.
Alongside the photograph, Karisma described Kareena as her “best sister ever” and celebrated the fact that they had always been together. Her message highlighted their close relationship and their shared childhood memories.
The sisters have frequently spoken about their bond over the years. Karisma, the elder of the two, entered the film industry before Kareena and went on to establish a successful acting career during the 1990s. Kareena later followed her into films and developed her own distinct identity.
The childhood photograph therefore became more than just a birthday greeting. It gave followers a glimpse into the early relationship between the two Kapoor sisters.
Fans Spot Kareena Kapoor and Jeh’s Resemblance
The photograph quickly generated reactions from fans, many of whom shifted their attention towards young Kareena. Several users pointed out that her facial features reminded them strongly of Jeh.
Some fans jokingly asked whether the child in the photograph was actually Jeh, while others described young Kareena as a “carbon copy” of her younger son. Similar comparisons appeared across social media after Karisma posted the picture.
The reactions were largely playful and centred on the family resemblance. Some users also brought Taimur Ali Khan into the discussion, comparing Karisma’s childhood appearance with Taimur and Kareena’s childhood appearance with Jeh.
The comparisons show how closely followers observe the physical resemblance among members of the Kapoor and Pataudi families.
Who Is Jeh Ali Khan?
Jehangir Ali Khan, affectionately known as Jeh, is Kareena Kapoor Khan and Saif Ali Khan’s younger son. He was born on February 21, 2021.
The couple also have an elder son, Taimur Ali Khan, who was born on December 20, 2016. Kareena and Saif got married in October 2012 and have generally tried to maintain a balance between their public careers and their children’s privacy.
Jeh has frequently attracted public attention because of his resemblance to both sides of the family. Photographs of the young star kid often generate discussion among fans, particularly when similarities with Kareena, Saif or other members of the family are noticed.
The latest comparison, however, was different because fans were comparing Jeh not with Kareena as she looks today, but with Kareena during her own childhood.
Kareena Kapoor’s Journey From Childhood to Stardom
Kareena Kapoor grew up in one of India's most prominent film families. She is the daughter of veteran actors Randhir Kapoor and Babita and the granddaughter of legendary filmmaker and actor Raj Kapoor.
Her elder sister Karisma Kapoor had already become a major Bollywood star by the time Kareena entered the industry.
Kareena made her acting debut with Refugee in 2000 alongside Abhishek Bachchan. Although the film marked the beginning of her career, she soon established herself as one of the leading actresses of her generation.
Over the years, she appeared in films across different genres, including Kabhi Khushi Kabhie Gham, Jab We Met, 3 Idiots, Bodyguard, Talaash, Udta Punjab, Veere Di Wedding and Crew.
Her career has continued across more than two decades, with Kareena taking on commercial entertainers as well as character-driven roles.
Kareena Turns 46 With Industry Wishes
Kareena’s birthday also brought wishes from several Bollywood personalities. Friends, family members and colleagues shared messages celebrating the actress.
Among those who sent birthday greetings were Priyanka Chopra, Kiara Advani and Anil Kapoor. Her sister Karisma chose a personal childhood memory, while Soha Ali Khan shared an AI-generated 1980s-themed tribute featuring Kareena and members of the extended family.
The variety of birthday tributes reflected Kareena’s long-standing connections within the Hindi film industry.
For fans, however, Karisma’s throwback photograph became particularly memorable because it combined nostalgia with an unexpected family resemblance.
Kapoor Family’s Generational Resemblance
The Kapoor family has a long history in Indian cinema, with several generations working in the entertainment industry. Physical resemblance among family members has often become a subject of discussion among fans.
Karisma and Kareena themselves share several recognisable family features, while their children have also been compared with their parents and grandparents.
The latest discussion around Kareena’s childhood picture and Jeh follows this familiar pattern. Fans noticed similarities in facial features and expressions and turned the observation into a light-hearted social media conversation.
It is also worth noting that such comparisons are subjective observations by fans rather than any formal assessment of physical resemblance.
Kareena and Saif’s Family Life
Kareena and Saif Ali Khan have generally kept their children away from excessive public attention while continuing to remain active in the entertainment industry.
Kareena has spoken publicly about parenting and balancing her professional commitments with raising Taimur and Jeh. In a recent conversation, she discussed the challenges of managing screen time at home and recalled how Taimur sometimes points out that his parents also use their phones.
Her comments have given audiences occasional glimpses into family life without revealing too much about the children’s private routines.
The attention around Jeh’s resemblance to Kareena’s childhood self is therefore another example of the public interest surrounding the family.
A Nostalgic Birthday Moment
Karisma Kapoor’s childhood photograph ultimately turned into one of the more widely discussed birthday posts for Kareena. What began as a simple tribute to sisterhood quickly became a conversation about the resemblance between a young Kareena and her son Jeh.
The photograph also offered fans a nostalgic look at the Kapoor sisters before their careers in Bollywood transformed them into household names.
For Kareena, turning 46 has once again brought together several aspects of her life: her long film career, her close relationship with Karisma and her role as a mother to Taimur and Jeh.
As fans continue discussing the throwback photograph, the biggest takeaway remains the enduring bond between the Kapoor sisters and the striking family resemblance that the picture unexpectedly highlighted.
