The festive spirit was in full swing across Mumbai's celebrity circles as members of the famed Kapoor clan celebrated Christmas with intimate, close-knit gatherings. While the family did not host one large unified party, different branches were spotted ushering in the holiday season with warmth and joy at separate locations across the city.
Ranbir Kapoor's Low-Key Arrival at Soni Razdan's Residence
Ranbir Kapoor was photographed arriving for the Kapoor family's Christmas celebrations, which were hosted this year at the residence of Soni Razdan, Alia Bhatt's mother. The actor opted for a relaxed, all-black ensemble, pairing a leather jacket with crisp white sneakers. Keeping his demeanour characteristically low-key, he briefly acknowledged the waiting paparazzi with a simple nod before heading inside to join his family.
He was accompanied by his mother, the veteran actor Neetu Kapoor, who arrived shortly after him. Neetu smiled warmly for the cameras, dressed in a festive yet comfortable outfit. Completing the family picture was Ranbir's sister, Riddhima Kapoor Sahni, who arrived with her young daughter, Samara Sahni. The gathering highlighted a warm, familial moment for this branch of the Kapoor family.

On a related but separate note, Alia Bhatt recently hosted her own Christmas gathering for close friends and family. The celebration was a collaborative effort, co-hosted by Alia and her mother-in-law, Neetu Kapoor. Glimpses of the beautifully decorated venue were shared by Alia's sister, Shaheen Bhatt, on social media.
The pictures showcased a cosy and magical atmosphere, complete with twinkling fairy lights, festive decorations, and a beautifully adorned Christmas tree. Shaheen also posted heartwarming pictures posing with Alia and their mother, Soni Razdan. The guest list included several family members, notably Rima Jain and Alekha Advani Jain, making it a true family affair.
Saif and Kareena's Intimate Family Celebration
Meanwhile, Kareena Kapoor Khan and Saif Ali Khan celebrated Christmas a few days earlier with a warm and intimate gathering at their home. Saif's sister, Soha Ali Khan, offered fans a peek into the festivities through a series of Instagram posts.
The photos revealed their residence decked up in full Christmas glory. The frames featured their sons, Taimur Ali Khan and Jehangir Ali Khan (affectionately called Jeh), soaking in the festive cheer. Soha also shared precious moments of decorating the Christmas tree with her daughter, Inaaya Naumi Kemmu. The celebration included the presence of matriarch Sharmila Tagore, with the decor featuring gifts, Santa Claus figures, and beautifully decorated trees, encapsulating the essence of a family-centric holiday.
In a parallel sighting, Kareena Kapoor and her sister Karishma Kapoor were also spotted visiting their father's house in Bandra, indicating a round of festive visits. These series of celebrations underscore how Bollywood's first families prefer keeping their holiday traditions personal and close to their hearts, even as they remain in the public eye.
