Kareena Kapoor and Shahid Kapoor’s relationship
Shahid Kapoor and Kareena Kapoor were once among Bollywood’s most talked-about couples. The two began dating in the early 2000s and were open about their relationship at a time when many actors preferred to keep their personal lives private.
Their romance lasted for several years before they parted ways around the time they were working on Jab We Met. The breakup reportedly wasn’t an easy one, and for years afterwards, the former couple largely avoided speaking about each other publicly or sharing the screen again, fuelling speculation about lingering bitterness between them.
With time, however, both moved on from that chapter. Kareena married Saif Ali Khan in 2012, and the couple have two sons. Shahid married Mira Rajput in 2015, and they have two children, Misha and Zain.
Their latest meeting was not the first time their interaction brought back memories of the film. The two also hugged at the IIFA press conference in Jaipur in March 2025. Shahid later said that meeting Kareena at industry events was normal for them, adding, “If people felt nice, it’s nice.”
