Shahid Kapoor and Kareena Kapoor once again set the internet alight with their reunion at the IIFA 2025 press conference in Jaipur.
The two stars, who were once one of Bollywood's most talked-about couples, shared a brief but memorable moment that quickly became a trending topic on social media.
Fans of the iconic pair were sent into a frenzy as the reunion evoked nostalgia for their on-screen chemistry in the 2007 hit Jab We Met.

The duo, who famously portrayed Aditya and Geet in the beloved film, were seen crossing paths on stage, reigniting fond memories of their unforgettable roles. Their reunion sparked widespread chatter, with many fans reminiscing about their iconic moments in Jab We Met.
However, Shahid, known for his calm and composed demeanor, downplayed the entire situation when addressing the media at the IIFA Digital Awards green carpet.
“For us, it’s nothing new. Aaj stage par mile, aur idhar udhar milte rehte hain (We met on stage today, and we keep running into each other here and there), so it’s totally normal for us. If people felt nice, it’s nice,” he said with a smile, clarifying that for him and Kareena, meeting each other at events is just a regular part of working in the film industry.
Despite the frenzy online, Shahid's comments indicate that the reunion, while heartwarming for fans, was simply another professional interaction for the former couple.
For them, running into each other at various events and gatherings is far from a rare occurrence, and any excitement surrounding the moment is seen as an added bonus for fans.

Their professional history includes more than just Jab We Met. The two actors have appeared in several films together, including Fida, Chup Chup Ke, and Udta Punjab. Their on-screen chemistry was widely praised, with Jab We Met still regarded as one of the most popular films of their careers. However, their personal relationship ended around 2007, not long after the release of their cult classic film.
Both Shahid and Kareena have moved on since their split. Shahid is married to Mira Rajput, with whom he has two children, Misha and Zain. Kareena, meanwhile, is married to actor Saif Ali Khan, with whom she has two sons, Taimur and Jehangir (Jeh).
While their reunion at IIFA may have sparked memories for fans, for Shahid and Kareena, it was simply another moment in the life of two seasoned professionals who have long since moved past their personal history and continue to thrive in their respective careers.
