Argentina football legend Lionel Messi’s GOAT India Tour created unforgettable moments for Bollywood celebrities and their families during his Mumbai visit. The World Cup winner met fans at the Wankhede Stadium, where several star kids enjoyed a once-in-a-lifetime interaction with the global icon.
Shahid Kapoor attended the event with his children, Misha and Zain. While the actor stayed away from the spotlight, his kids posed happily with Messi. Later, Shahid’s wife Mira Rajput shared photos from the meet on Instagram Stories, captioning them, “Now you are a GOAT dad,” reflecting the children’s excitement.
Shilpa Shetty was also present with her son Viaan, who fulfilled his long-cherished dream of meeting the football superstar. Speaking to the media after the event, Shilpa said, “It was very nice. Iska toh dream poora ho gaya,” expressing her joy over her son’s experience.
Kareena Kapoor Khan, along with her sons Taimur Ali Khan and Jehangir Ali Khan, also met Messi. Jeh’s playful refusal to leave Messi’s side after posing for pictures amused fans, with Kareena gently stepping in to make way for others.
Messi arrived in Mumbai on December 14 after earlier stops in Kolkata and Hyderabad. Following the Mumbai event, he is set to greet fans in Delhi at the Arun Jaitley Stadium, marking the final leg of his India tour. Reports also suggest that Messi may meet Prime Minister Narendra Modi during his visit to the national capital.
