Shahid Kapoor and Kareena Kapoor Khan recently shared a warm hug and exchanged words at the IIFA 2025 press conference in Jaipur. Their interaction instantly captured fans’ attention and quickly went viral, with social media buzzing about the nostalgic moment. Many fans reminisced about their past on-screen chemistry, making their brief exchange a trending topic online.
Later, at the IIFA Digital Awards, Shahid addressed the media, responding to the public’s reaction. He downplayed the hype, explaining that their meeting was nothing unusual and completely normal for them.
“For us, it’s nothing new. We met on stage today, just like we run into each other at various events. It’s totally normal. But if people enjoyed it, that’s nice,” Shahid stated, emphasizing that there was no awkwardness between them.
This was not their first public interaction since their widely publicized breakup in 2007. At the 2024 Dadasaheb Phalke International Film Festival Awards, Kareena walked past Shahid without acknowledging him, while he maintained a composed smile. However, their latest meeting at IIFA 2025 painted a different picture, as they appeared at ease in each other’s presence.
Their past relationship in the 2000s was a major media highlight, especially since they co-starred in multiple films, including Fida (2004), Jab We Met (2007), and Chup Chup Ke (2006). Following their breakup, both moved on—Kareena married Saif Ali Khan in 2012 and has two children, while Shahid tied the knot with Mira Rajput in 2015 and also has two kids.
The duo’s interaction at IIFA 2025 surprised many, with fans appreciating their cordial and comfortable exchange. Social media users commented on their evolving equation, with one fan writing, “Back during Udta Punjab days, they couldn’t even stand together. It took them nine years to get to this point!”
Their reunion also reignited discussions about their iconic roles as Geet and Aditya in Jab We Met, a film that remains a defining moment in their careers. The buzz surrounding their IIFA moment proves that, even years later, Shahid and Kareena’s connection continues to intrigue and captivate audiences.
