Kareena Kapoor marked International Women’s Day by sharing a message encouraging women to embrace confidence and self-love. Known for her iconic role as Geet in Jab We Met, Kareena’s signature line, “Main apni favourite hoon (I am my own favourite),” has become a cultural mantra of empowerment and individuality.
Kareena wishes Happy Women’s Day
In her post, Kareena wrote: “To all the women out there DON’T EVER FORGET… to say every single day of your life… MAIN APNI FAVOURITE HOON… Happy Women’s Day, ladies.”
She paired the message with a carousel of images: a radiant, sun-kissed selfie; a backshot standing against a location resembling the Alps; another selfie with cool shades and a playful pout; a silk scarf; and more sun-kissed, slightly out-of-focus close-ups highlighting her natural glow.
Fans react
Fans reacted enthusiastically, sharing comments like “Happy women’s day! Keep shining and inspiring!” , “Poohhhhhhhh” and “Mother to Manyyy,” celebrating both her empowering message and iconic screen persona.
The line “Main apni favourite hoon,” originally spoken by Geet in Imitaz Ali’s Jab We Met, has become a defining part of Kareena’s public identity. Over the years, it has been quoted endlessly in social media posts, memes, and conversations as a mantra of self-love. For many, the phrase represents unapologetic confidence and the courage to prioritise oneself, values that resonate strongly on occasions like International Women’s Day.
