On Saturday evening, Ranbir Kapoor visited the North Bombay Sarbojanin Durga Puja pandal in Mumbai during Navaratri. He caught up with his filmmaker friend Ayan Mukerji while there and greeted the paparazzi, even posing for pictures with them. But a moment that caught everyone’s attention was when Ranbir took to the stage with Harshdeep Kaur to sing Kabira from his 2013 hit Yeh Jawaani Hai Deewani, incidentally directed by Ayan.
Ranbir Kapoor sings Kabira at Durga puja pandal
Videos of Ranbir visiting the puja pandal set up by the Mukerji-Samarth family for nearly eight decades now show him dressed in a red-and-gold kurta paired with white pyjamas. The actor could be seen seeking the blessings of Goddess Durga before he folded his hands and posed for a few pictures. He was also seen greeting Ayan and a few other guests at the puja.
Other videos show Ranbir standing on stage with a microphone in hand as Harshdeep sings Kabira. He sings along and even turns the mike towards the audience so they can join them. After he joins her in singing the song, Harshdeep asks the people present there to clap for Ranbir and his performance. Ranbir held back and let the singer handle some of the difficult portions of the song.

Others commented with GIFs from YJHD. “Omg the way nostalgia hit me rn,” commented one excited fan, while another wrote, “What a cute moment,” with heart eyes emojis.
