Football icon Lionel Messi is currently in Mumbai, where he is set to attend a grand fan meet at the Wankhede Stadium this evening. Ahead of the much-awaited event, excitement has already gripped the city, with fans gathering in large numbers to catch a glimpse of the global football superstar.
Among Messi’s young admirers were Kareena Kapoor Khan’s sons, Taimur and Jeh. The star kids, who are known to be big fans of the Argentinian legend, got a special opportunity to meet their idol at Mumbai’s Brabourne Stadium before the official fan meet.
A picture from the meet has gone viral on social media, showing Taimur and Jeh posing happily on stage with Lionel Messi. Kareena Kapoor Khan also joined her sons and posed alongside the football great. The smiles on the boys’ faces clearly reflected their excitement after meeting the GOAT.
Earlier, Kareena had shared an Instagram story showing herself walking with Taimur and Jeh as they headed to meet Messi. While she didn’t add a caption, both boys were seen wearing the iconic number 10 jerseys—Messi’s signature number while representing Argentina.
Notably, this isn’t the only special fan interaction during Messi’s India visit. The football legend recently attended a fan meet in Kolkata, where he met Shah Rukh Khan and his son AbRam. Pictures and videos from that event also went viral.
As part of his Mumbai itinerary, Lionel Messi is expected to take part in a friendly football match with Bollywood celebrities. In addition, a private charity fashion show and auction event has been organised in the city, with stars like Jackie Shroff and John Abraham likely to attend. Fans are eagerly waiting for more memorable moments from Messi’s India tour.
