Reports suggested that the duo had been attending several parties lately. Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation (BMC) officials told media sources that they were investigating reports that the actors had violated COVID-19 rules by going to parties. The BMC has further advised others who came in contact with the duo to undergo an RT-PCR test.
Allegedly, the most recent party they attended was hosted by Anil Kapoor's daughter Rhea Kapoor at her residence in Mumbai. According to reports, Karisma Kapoor, Malaika Arora, Kareena's manager Poonam Damania and Masaba Gupta were among other guests who were at the party.
The two also attended Karan Johar’s party at his residence on Wednesday, which saw the presence of Arjun Kapoor and Alia Bhatt as well. The filmmaker had hosted a K3G themed bash as the film completed 20 years of its release this month.
With the steady increase of Omicron cases in Mumbai, large gatherings have been banned in the city. Twenty cases of Omicron have been reported across Maharashtra so far.
On the work front, Kareena will be seen next in Laal Singh Chaddha alongside Aamir Khan.
