The evening also saw the launch of Kareena's first ever make-up line titled "Kareena Kapoor Khan by Lakme Absolute".
Talking about the evolution from being a brand ambassador to a co-creator with the brand, Kareena told IANS here: "It has been great as we have been associated for almost eight years so it has been a long collaboration and make-up is something every actor wears so coming together to do a make-up tie up, I think the timing has been just perfect."
Describing make-up as a woman's "best friend", the actress said that she feels honoured to launch her maiden range.
Jaising, whose collection comprised hues like pinks, blues, blacks, moss green, saw a heavy use of embellishments, glitter and sparkle.
