Take a look at Kareena's Instagram post here: 

The actor is often seen spreading awareness for children's education and other causes on her social media handles. Earlier, on November 14, on the special occasion of Children's Day, Kareena shed light on how education has been disrupted for children in India in the wake of the pandemic. She also urged her followers, in association with UNICEF India, to 'reimagine education', so every child has a 'safe, inclusive and flexible' education when they are set back to school.

The actor mentioned that 'learning and education for every child' is something she holds dear to her heart. She has a message to give people, now that schools in various parts of the country are re-opening. She mentioned that although some children are going back to school, there are also some who have not been able to access remote learning during the pandemic. She emphasised that these little ones may have forgotten what they learned at school before the virus took over the world.
