At the IIFA 2025 press meet in Jaipur, Bollywood audiences were blessed with a rare and emotional reunion between Shahid Kapoor and Kareena Kapoor Khan. The on-screen couple of Jab We Met shared a warm hug on stage, drawing the audience’s attention and creating a social media storm. The moment was pure nostalgia, leaving fans amazed as they saw the two former lovers reunite after all these years.
Fans Respond to the Special Moment
A viral clip that quickly circulated captured Shahid and Kareena exchanging smiles and embracing during the event. After their reunion, Kareena also hugged Karan Johar, who attended the press conference. In addition to Shahid, Kareena, and Karan, other celebrities such as Kartik Aaryan, Kriti Sanon, Bobby Deol, Vijay Varma, Madhuri Dixit, and Shreya Ghoshal attended. The chemistry between Shahid and Kareena left everyone speechless, with users of social media taking to the sites to comment on the seemingly awkwardness of the two. One viewer commented, “That awkwardness is so visible on Shahid’s face,” while another joked, “Jab We Met Again.”
A Nostalgic Reminiscence
Kareena Kapoor Khan has regularly praised her Jab We Met co-star Shahid in previous interviews. In a recollective conversation with Film Companion, she shared that it was Shahid who suggested that she make the film. She told, “It was Shahid who approached me to read the script of Jab We Met.” Though Kareena and Shahid broke up prior to the release of the film in 2007, both have gone on to become happy in their personal lives, with Kareena wedded to Saif Ali Khan and Shahid to Mira Rajput, both with children of their own.
Their infrequent meeting at IIFA was a reminder of the magic of Jab We Met and its enduring influence on the Indian film industry.
