A Chance Encounter
Kareena recalled that Spielberg recognized her at the restaurant, approached her, and said, “You’re the girl from that Indian film about three students, aren’t you?” She confirmed his suspicion, and he expressed his admiration for the movie, saying, “My God, I loved that film.”
The actress shared this story at the WAVES Summit 2025, where she was part of a session moderated by Karan Johar.

I was born into this family,” she explained. “Times are changing, but chasing after something isn’t my nature. If it’s meant to be, maybe a Hindi-English film will come along. After all, Spielberg is watching our films too.”
Reflections on Her Career
Kareena’s conversation with Karan Johar also touched on her career and the evolving film industry. She emphasized her dedication to her craft and her openness to new opportunities. Her encounter with Spielberg served as a testament to the global reach and appreciation of Indian cinema.
