Kareena Kapoor‘s AI avatar at a rave party in Karachi has sparked a wave of outrage among fans in India. The video, shared by DJ Hamza Harris, shows the AI avatar of the famous Bollywood actress awkwardly dancing at a Karachi event, a stark departure from her glamorous on-screen presence. Fans quickly took to social media to express their disappointment, claiming the depiction does not do justice to Kareena Kapoor’s iconic persona or aesthetics, and calling it both “cringe” and “unnecessary.”
The video, captioned “POV: You’re at a rave in Karachi, Pakistan and Kareena Kapoor starts dancing in front of you,” initially aimed to entertain but ended up confusing and frustrating many viewers. With over 2.4 million views on DJ Hamza Harris’s Instagram account ‘mr.shotbox’, the clip has incited mixed reactions. The inclusion of Kareena’s popular dialogue from “Kabhi Khushi Kabhie Gham” added a layer of randomness, which further perplexed fans and drew critical comments.
The comment section was soon overrun with reactions, as users debated the video’s merit and the portrayal of Kareena Kapoor. One viewer questioned, “This animation is sooooo bad, and why is she looking like she’s going to work?” Another expressed bewilderment, “They did Kareena so dirty! Rave in Karachi?! What the hell is this?” However, there was an attempt to inject humor, with one user remarking, “Kareena is happiest in her maternal grandfather’s city! Lol.” Despite the lighthearted approach by some, others bluntly criticized the execution, advising, “Stop working on the track and animation both.”
As with earlier viral events, this incident underscores the fine line between innovative tech and public sensitivity, with the AI avatar failing to capture the essence of Kareena Kapoor’s charm. The debates highlight the cultural significance and the deep connection fans have with real-life icons, demonstrating the impact poorly executed representations can have. As technology continues to evolve in the entertainment industry, this incident serves as a cautionary tale for creators to tread carefully, respecting the star power and cultural influence of public figures like Kareena Kapoor.
