The internet is abuzz with nostalgia following an unexpected reunion between Shahid Kapoor and Kareena Kapoor at the IIFA 2025 press conference.
One of Bollywood's most beloved couples, the two shared a warm hug, exchanged smiles, and had a quick chat—moments that paparazzi eagerly snapped, leaving fans into a tizzy.
The uncommon spectacle of the former lovebirds reuniting had social media in complete meltdown mode.
Though, before rumors had a chance to go haywire, Shahid Kapoor spoke of the highly speculated scene. On the green carpet during an exchange at the IIFA Digital Awards, the actor diffused the frenzy with a laid-back comment.
"For us, it's nothing new… aaj stage pe mile aur hum log idhar udhar milte rehte hai (today we met on stage, but we keep running into each other here and there). It's totally normal for us… if people felt nice, it's nice," he said, downplaying the hype.
Earlier in the 2000s, Shahid and Kareena were Bollywood's greatest on-and-off-screen pair, dazzling fans with their chemistry on the screen in movies such as Fida, Chup Chup Ke, and the cult favorite Jab We Met. But their romance was short-lived just before the release of Jab We Met, which turned out to be a milestone moment in both their lives.
Now, both the stars are enjoying their lives in their own paths. Kareena Kapoor is now wedded blissfully to Saif Ali Khan, and the couple has two cute sons. Shahid Kapoor, on the other hand, got married to Mira Rajput, and the couple has a lovely family with their daughter and son.
The 25th edition of IIFA is happening presently in the ancient city of Jaipur, Rajasthan, making another momentous occasion for Bollywood's grandiose celebrations.
