Kareena Kapoor and Saif Ali Khan celebrate Ganesh Chaturthi with son Jeh's handmade clay idol

Kareena Kapoor previously described Jeh’s personality as resembling both parents, saying, “Jeh just looks like me but he has Saif's naughtiness,” while Taimur has Saif’s humor and is more reserved about being photographed. Saif has also called Jeh a “mama’s boy” who is especially attached to Kareena.
Kareena and Saif married in 2012 and have spoken about celebrating a range of festivals at home, including Christmas, Diwali and Eid, with Eid gatherings featuring biryani and family get-togethers.
Daayra is described as a crime drama in which Kareena and Prithviraj Sukumaran play police officers who face off while confronting the dark and complex world of juvenile crime.
The Ganesh Chaturthi celebrations were taking place amid large-scale festivities across India, with devotees gathering at prominent pandals and temples for traditional prayers, rituals and community events.
Kareena Kapoor Khan marked Ganesh Chaturthi on September 14 by sharing photos of a handmade clay idol her younger son Jehangir created at home. Times of India reported that Saif Ali Khan helped shape the eco-friendly idol, with Kareena captioning the post: 'Made by my Jeh Baba. Wishing everyone a happy and peaceful Ganesh Chaturthi!' The family, known for celebrating festivals from both Hindu and Muslim traditions, continues to blend cultural practices at home.
The moment came just four days before Kareena's crime drama Daayra hits theaters on September 18. In the film, she plays DCP Ajooni Kohli IPS opposite Prithviraj Sukumaran, investigating juvenile crime in India. NDTV notes the project marks director Meghna Gulzar's return to social crime dramas.
Kareena has previously described Jeh as having her looks but his father's mischievous streak. 'Jeh just looks like me but he has Saif's naughtiness,' she said in interviews. Times of India also reported that Saif calls Jeh a 'mama's boy' who stays especially close to Kareena. By contrast, their older son Taimur has inherited Saif's humor and remains more reserved around cameras.
Since marrying in 2012, Kareena and Saif have built a household that honors both their Hindu Punjabi and Muslim Pataudi heritage. The family celebrates Christmas, Diwali, and Eid together. During Eid, Times Now News notes their gatherings feature traditional biryani and extended family time. This year's Ganesh Chaturthi idol—handmade and eco-friendly—continues their pattern of meaningful, home-centered rituals.
Kareena's personal post boosted organic engagement ahead of Daayra's September 18 release. Filmfare reports the crime drama runs 143 minutes and was produced by Junglee Pictures and Pen Studios. The film explores a high-stakes investigation into juvenile crime through the eyes of two police officers. Director Meghna Gulzar co-wrote the screenplay, drawing inspiration from real events.
While Kareena's family observed the festival at home, millions of devotees across Indian cities gathered at prominent pandals and temples for traditional prayers and community events. Times of India highlighted that the eco-friendly, home-sculpted clay idol approach encourages sustainable worship practices during large-scale national celebrations. The timing underscores how Bollywood families blend personal devotion with broader cultural moments.
