One of the most beloved former on-screen and off-screen couples, Shahid Kapoor and Kareena Kapoor, who were once truly, madly and deeply in love, starred together in the cult classic Jab We Met before parting ways long ago. Both have since moved on—Shahid is married to Mira Rajput and has two children, while Kareena is married to Saif Ali Khan and has two sons, Jeh and Taimur.
The former couple recently reunited at the IIFA 2025 press conference held in Jaipur on Saturday. The event was attended by Karan Johar, Kartik Aaryan, Nora Fatehi, Kriti Sanon, Kareena Kapoor, and Shahid Kapoor.
