Shahid and Vidya make up

Kareena Kapoor, Vidya Balan, Sania Mirza, Priyanka Chopra...the twists and turns in Shahid Kapoor's love life will put a bestseller to shame. After splitting with Priyanka, Shahid's life has once again taken an interesting turn with former love Vidya reentering his life recently.

The two had parted on discordant terms post Aziz Mirza's Kismat Konnection in which they had starred together. It was this film which was largely responsible for bringing Vidya and Shahid close when the latter was heartbroken because of his failed relationship with Kareena. However, their relationship lost its fizz once the film released and Shahid decided to move on.

Consequently, the two stopped talking to each other altogether. According to sources, they drifted apart because Shahid distanced himself from Vidya due to his attraction to tennis star Sania, who incidentally made an official announcement of having called of her engagement with longtime friend Mohammed Sohrab Mirza yesterday.

Coming back to Vidya and Shahid, while it is not known as to who took the first step to broker peace, a mere twist of fate might be the catalyst to their reconciliation. As reported by Mumbai Mirror on January 8 (V B confused) Shahid mistook a congratulatory text message signed VB from director Vishal Bhardwaj's new but unknown mobile number as a message from Vidya Balan. Shahid realised that it was not a message from Vidya only when instead of calling on the number that the message came from, Shahid called Vidya on her number that was saved in his mobile. A source says, "Vidya and Shahid have ironed out all their misunderstandings. They are definitely not dating but they are once again talking to each other very nicely. They have no bitter feelings and have put the past firmly behind them. The two are starting off all over again on a clean slate." Vidya and Shahid did not reply to our calls and text messages.
