Shahid Kapoor on 'Jab They Met' Moment with Kareena Kapoor at IIFA 2025: "Humlog idhar udhar milte rehte hain"

Recently, Bollywood fans got a blast from the past as Shahid Kapoor and Kareena Kapoor reunited at the IIFA 2025 press conference. The once-popular couple, who ruled both the big screen and real life in the 2000s, shared a warm hug and a few words, sending fans into a frenzy. The paparazzi didn’t miss the chance to capture the rare moment, and soon, the internet was buzzing with excitement.

While social media was busy analyzing every second of their interaction, Shahid Kapoor had a rather casual take on the whole situation. Speaking on the green carpet of the IIFA Digital Awards, the Kabir Singh star was asked about his much-hyped reunion with Kareena. He simply shrugged it off, saying, "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.”

His response was effortless, making it clear that there was no awkwardness between the two.

Back in the early 2000s, Shahid and Kareena were one of Bollywood’s most talked-about couples. Their chemistry in films like Fida, Chup Chup Ke, and Jab We Met made them a fan-favorite pair. However, just before Jab We Met was completed, their off-screen love story came to an end.

Fast forward to today, both actors have moved on and built happy families. Kareena Kapoor is now married to Saif Ali Khan, and the couple has two adorable sons. Shahid Kapoor, on the other hand, tied the knot with Mira Rajput Kapoor, with whom he shares a son and a daughter.

The 25th edition of IIFA is being held in Jaipur, Rajasthan, and this unexpected reunion became one of its most talked-about moments.
