From Hrithik Roshan and Kareena to Kiara – B'town reflects on 2025, welcomes New Year with love, gratitude, hope

As the clocks tick away to the New Year, Bollywood celebrities are pressing pause, looking inward, and sharing heartfelt reflections. From Kareena Kapoor Khan’s message of gratitude, Hrithik Roshan's ‘merry’ note to Kiara Advani’s note filled with hope and fresh beginnings, celebrities are welcoming the New Year with heartwarming posts on social media, looking back at the days gone by.

‘2025 has been a difficult year…’ writes Kareena

On New Year’s Eve, Kareena shared a long note on Instagram – along with a photo of hers and husband Saif Ali Khan reflecting on the trials her family faced through 2025.

“As we sit down and reflect on the fact that we made it to the last day of the year…we walked this far.2025 has been a difficult year for us,our children and our families…but we went through it head held high,laughing and holding on.We cried a lot,we prayed and now we are here…2025 taught us that human nature is fearless ,love will conquer all and that children are braver than we think…" the 'Jab We Met' actress posted.

Earlier this year, in January, Saif was stabbed by an intruder who allegedly broke into the Khans' home with the intent to steal. Just months later, the family was hit by another tragedy with the death of Sunjay Kapur, Karisma Kapoor’s former husband, in June—an irreparable loss for his children, Kiaan and Samaira.
