Kareena Kapoor Khan and Alia Bhatt turned a simple afternoon in Mumbai into a moment that fans could not stop sharing.

As Money Control reported, Diwekar uploaded the picture on her Instagram Stories. She sat in the middle with an arm around both actors. Kareena wore a sleeveless dark top with blue jeans and leaned in, beaming. Alia kept things soft in a light printed kurta set, sitting cross-legged with her hair down.




The caption read, “Post pithla bhakri pose with the two best girls.” Rujuta tagged both stars, and the image began circulating quickly across fan pages.

Even without a plate in sight, the meal spoke volumes. For the unversed, pithla bhakri is a beloved Maharashtrian pairing of gram flour curry and flatbread. It is hearty, uncomplicated everyday food, matching Rujuta’s consistent message about eating local and seasonal.
