Controversies
- It is said that a passerby with a camera phone filmed Kareena kissing her boyfriend Shahid Kapoor at a restaurant named Rain, located in the Juhu area of Mumbai and released the video. However, the source of this video is not yet confirmed. A Mumbai newspaper (Midday) published stills from the video. Kareena and Shahid at first denied that they were in the pictures and the video, but later reversed their statements and complained of an invasion of privacy. [citation needed]
