In the caption of her post, Avantika wrote simply, \"Mother is a karen.\"
Seyfried portrayed Karen Smith in the original 2004 \"Mean Girls\" film written by Tina Fey and director Mark Waters. She starred in the film alongside Rachel McAdams, Lindsay Lohan and Lacey Chabert.
In the movie, Karen is a member of the Plastics, a group of popular girls at North Shore High School, where \"Mean Girls\" takes place.

Avantika, meanwhile, plays Karen in the 2024 film adaptation of the Broadway production \"Mean Girls: The Musical.\" The new movie is also titled \"Mean Girls.\"
Amid news of the film adaptation last year, Avantika shared her excitement about the project on Instagram.
\"To play KAREN IN MEAN GIRLS?!! What?!! INSANITY! Off to a new journey alongside @broadwaybebe @auliicravalho @angourierice @reneerapp @jaquelspivey & @chrisbriney_,\" she wrote at the time.

\"(Hope i make you proud @mingey),\" she added, tagging Seyfried in the post.
\"Mean Girls\" is out in theaters now.
