Rekha was present at the Raj Kapoor film festival’s opening ceremony in Mumbai on Friday. Rekha made a stunning and poignant presence at the ceremony. Seeing posters of Raj Kapoor’s movies made her a bit homesick as she walked the red carpet. She bent down and gazed sweetly at Raj Kapoor’s pictures.

Ten classic Raj Kapoor films will be shown in 40 locations and 135 theaters as part of this festival.Raj Kapoor’s most renowned films from almost forty years ago, including Aag (1948), Barsaat (1949), Awaara (1951), Shree 420 (1955), Jagte Raho (1956), Jis Desh Mein Ganga Behti Hai (1960), Sangam (1964), Mera Naam Joker (1970), Bobby (1973), and Ram Teri Ganga Maili (1985), are the focus of the festival.
Prime Minister Narendra Modi was asked to attend the celebration by the Kapoor clan members, who met with him in Delhi a few days ago.Kareena, Saif, Ranbir Kapoor, Alia Bhatt, Neetu Kapoor, Karisma Kapoor, and other family members gathered in Delhi to talk about the festivities that were coming up.
The Kapoor family were ecstatic to see the Prime Minister, as shown by the adorable photos Kareena posted on social media following the encounter. Saif and Ranbir were also seen conversing with PM Modi in the photos.
The post’s high point, however, was when Kareena asked the PM for a signature for her boys, Taimur and Jeh. Fans on social media were thrilled when the prime minister kindly scrawled “Tim and Jeh” on a piece of paper.
Kareena thanked everyone for the intimate gathering in an emotional message. “The Honorable Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s invitation to celebrate the remarkable life and legacy of our grandpa, the renowned Raj Kapoor, is a source of great humility and honor for us. I am grateful for this wonderful afternoon, Shri Modi ji. We were very grateful for your kindness, consideration, and assistance in commemorating this milestone,” she wrote.
