Mumbai: Kareena Kapoor celebrated Diwali in style, making a royal statement in a pure silver (chandi) kaftan paired with exquisite jewellery, carrying a rich royal legacy.
Her look caught attention after stylist and producer Rhea Kapoor shared details of the ensemble. She revealed that it featured priceless heirlooms from the royal family of Bhopal.
Sharing pictures of Kareena’s festive look, Rhea described her as a “real movie star” and highlighted the personal significance of her outfit and jewellery. The actress wore a pure chandi kaftan and turban designed by Punit Balana, which was complemented by a 200-year-old kalgi that once belonged to the Nawab of Bhopal. Adding another striking element to the look was a 30-carat emerald associated with the Begum of Bhopal.
The precious stone is carved with Ayat-ul-Kursi, making it a particularly significant piece among the royal heirlooms.
Rhea also explained the family connection behind the jewellery, revealing that the pieces belonged to Kareena’s own collection and came through her husband Saif Ali Khan’s family. Saif’s grandmother, Sajida Sultan, was the daughter of the last ruling Nawab of Bhopal.
