In a bizarre yet hilarious twist, an animated AI version of Bollywood actress Kareena Kapoor Khan has gone viral after appearing at a rave party in Karachi, Pakistan.
The animated avatar of the star, dressed in a stylish pink outfit, was showcased on a giant screen during what was touted as Pakistan's first audiovisual (AV) show, hosted by DJ Hamza Harris.
The DJ shared the clip on Instagram, captioning it, "POV: You’re at a rave in Karachi, Pakistan, and Kareena Kapoor starts dancing in front of you." In the video, Kareena’s animated avatar can be seen grooving to electronic beats, captivating the crowd at the event.

According to DJ Hamza Harris, the track played at the event was inspired by the iconic Bollywood film Kabhi Khushi Kabhie Gham, particularly the legendary “Pooh” moment delivered by Kareena herself. Harris shared on Instagram, “Been working on this track for a minute, and I finally wrapped it up just in time for the show. I knew if I was gonna play it, it had to have a visual. I found inspiration for the track while watching Kabhi Khushi Kabhie Gham, and I sampled the iconic moment where Pooh says—well, you know the line. I thought, why not feature Kareena Kapoor dancing? It’s iconic. It’s chaotic. And honestly, no one’s done that at a rave before.”
While the crowd at the event seemed to thoroughly enjoy the animated moment, the internet had mixed reactions. Some fans found the animation amusing, with one user joking, “Me looking for Bebo in the crowd—this is too good!!!” On the flip side, others were not as impressed. One user commented, “This animation is sooooo bad. Why does it look like she’s going to work?” While another warned, “Legal issues coming soon.”
Social media erupted with a range of reactions—from jokes to genuine concern. One fan even commented, “No way… This is an insult to our icon,” suggesting that the animation didn't do justice to the beloved Bollywood star. Others questioned whether Kareena Kapoor or Karan Johar, the film's producer, had seen the viral video. “I’m confident this made Kareena cringe,” one user wrote.
As the video continues to circulate, both fans and critics are eagerly awaiting a response from either Kareena or Karan Johar. Will they address the AI-created rave moment? Only time will tell.
