Our IF khoofiyans are helping me discover all these inside and old stories of Kareena that not many people knew, not even me 😲
Here's a statement of hers from around year 2001.

Desigal - you wanted his photo? 😆 Here you go - too bad couldn't find one with his face showing. The reason why you couldn't find anything on his is that his real name is Vishal Nihalani - he's producer Pahlaj Nihalani's son. As soon as I saw the Nihalani name my spider sense went tingling 😆
But what confused me, was that Jitesh Pillaai once wrote an editorial on Kareena's life, and he mentioned her dating a diamond merchant's son. I thought that was Vicky, until our genius spy Maddy fished him out. Enter...
Shohrat... 😆

Love changes Kareena 22nd Sept 2000
By Tanuka Chakraverty
There is this richie-rich good-looking son of a diamond merchant named Shohrat, who is keeping Kareena in top spirits. So much so that the girl is mellowing down phenomenally and behaving more sensibly.
Boyfriends are not anything new to Kareena. "I have had my share of boyfriends"🤣👏 (always the honest one, wasn't she?) she says, but the difference in this romance is that it is changing the actress for better. Insiders say that Kareena hangs out with Shohrat most of the time. She met him at a common friend's party.
The newfound friendship may be doing wonders for Bebo's spirits and nature, but how is mom Babita reacting to it? Known for being over-ambitious for her daughters, Babita is extremely possessive and meticulous about their careers, probably doing for them what she could not do for herself.
Now that older daughter Karishma is a star and is well into her twenties, Babita will let her be around for a little more time before settling her into matrimony. She will also ensure that the groom is a prize catch. Stories of Karishma and Abhishekh are already doing rounds and one fine day Babita might announce Karishma's wedding into the Bachchan family.
As far as Kareena is concerned, she can make hay till mom darling thinks of the relationship as best restricted. After all, the girl's career has just begun. There's still a lot to do before starting on romance, marriage and honeymoon.
