Google has brought Bollywood actor Kareena Kapoor Khan into the Android family through a global collaboration that blends entertainment, technology and motorsport.

Announced by Menaka (MK) Shroff, Global Marketing Director for Platforms & Ecosystems at Google, the partnership positions Kareena as a prominent pop-culture voice whose confidence and individuality align with the campaign’s spirit.

Kareena Kapoor Khan and Lando Norris Come Together for ‘Tea Brake’

The collaboration launched around the Singapore Grand Prix and features Kareena alongside McLaren Racing driver Lando Norris in a special episode of ‘Tea Brake’.

The concept brings Indian chai and British tea together, creating a light-hearted cultural exchange between two personalities from very different worlds. By connecting Bollywood with Formula 1, the campaign looks to engage audiences through familiar cultural cues rather than a conventional technology-led advertisement.

Android Connects Technology With Everyday Life

The partnership also brings Android and its latest innovations into the campaign, linking the platform with Kareena’s everyday experiences and personal expression.

For Google, the association offers an opportunity to present Android within a broader cultural conversation—one that spans entertainment, sport and technology. Kareena’s established presence in Indian popular culture, alongside Norris’s global motorsport profile, gives the collaboration reach across different audiences and fan communities.

A Culture-Led Approach to Brand Partnerships

The collaboration reflects how technology brands can use entertainment and sport to make their products more relatable. Instead of focusing exclusively on product features, the campaign builds a narrative around personalities, shared experiences and cultural differences.

For Android, bringing Kareena Kapoor Khan and Lando Norris together creates a distinctive meeting point between Indian pop culture and international motorsport, while keeping technology at the centre of the story.
