Kareena Kapoor has taken fans down memory lane by sharing a carousel of throwback photos from 2016, a year that marked a turning point in her personal life. Referring to it as “The Year of the Bump,” the actor revisited the time when she was expecting her first child, Taimur Ali Khan, and the post quickly caught the attention of social media users.
The pictures offer a mix of glamour and candid moments from her pregnancy days. One of the standout images shows Kareena confidently posing in an animal-print monokini, a look that redefined maternity fashion at the time. Another widely noticed frame is her 2016 Vogue India cover, where she appeared in a white shirt and leather skirt while holding dumbbells. Kareena revealed in the caption that she was three-and-a-half months pregnant when the cover was shot.
The carousel also includes candid moments from her inner circle. In one photo, Kareena is seen posing with Karan Johar and a friend, noting that they were unaware of her pregnancy at the time. Family moments form a large part of the post, including pictures with sister Karisma Kapoor, Malaika Arora, Amrita Arora, Salman Khan and husband Saif Ali Khan, taken just days before Taimur’s birth. Another image shows Saif affectionately “guarding the bump,” while a heartfelt frame features Kareena with Karisma’s children Samaira and Kiaan, along with Sara Ali Khan and Ibrahim Ali Khan.
The post received an overwhelming response from fans and industry friends. Amrita Arora called it the “best times,” while Kusha Kapila said Kareena had “won the trend.” Fans described the throwback as comforting and praised the actor for sharing such personal memories.
