Kareena Kapoor Khan And Shahid Kapoor Reunite At IIFA 2025, Bringing Lost Friends And Ex-Lovers Together
Kareena Shahid Reunion

Kareena Kapoor Khan and Shahid Kapoor's on-screen romance is by and large in the past, but its place in Bollywood and popular culture is one that will never be erased. The two, one of the most well-known couples of the early 2000s, did not only have a wonderful off-screen relationship, but also delivered some of their finest performances to each other.

A Relationship That Made Headlines

Shahid and Kareena were reportedly dating around 2004, when the two were just finding their niches in the industry. The romance was public, with them never missing a chance to be seen together at parties, awards, and even on Koffee with Karan, where there was no denying chemistry between the two. They kept doing films together one after the other, including Fida (2004), 36 China Town (2006), and Chup Chup Ke (2006), but it was only Imtiaz Ali's Jab We Met in 2007 that set them up onscreen. Jab We Met: A Timeless Classic

Out in 2007, Jab We Met is one of Indian cinema's best romantic films. Shahid played brooding and heartbroken Aditya, and Kareena's free-spirited and high-strung Geet became a cultural phenomenon. Their contrasting personalities paired with nail-biting dialogue and emotional songs created the foundation for the film's overnight success. To this day, their on-screen representation of love, heartbreak, and self-discovery continues to touch the hearts of fans.
Ironically, the two had broken up prior to the movie's release, and so the film was that much more special in the eyes of their fans. Though apart, they could not help but have chemistry on screen, which spoke volumes of their professionalism and commitment to work.

Moving On, But Never Forgotten

Shahid and Kareena both went on in life—Kareena got married to Saif Ali Khan in 2012, and Shahid married Mira Rajput in 2015. But their past affair and Jab We Met remain an all-time favorite Bollywood memory even today. Even years later in real life, when classic Bollywood romance tales are talked about, Shahid and Kareena's image remains intact, and their romance remains incomplete though still unfinished.
