Internet reacts to Shahid- Kareena reunion at IIFA 2025

Bollywood stars Shahid Kapoor and Kareena Kapoor Khan surprised fans with a warm hug and conversation at the IIFA 2025 press conference in Jaipur.

Their unexpected interaction quickly became a hot topic on social media, reviving memories of their past relationship and on-screen chemistry.

Shahid addressed the interaction, saying, "For us, it’s nothing new. We meet often at events. If people liked it, that’s nice." He added that their exchange was normal and without awkwardness.

This wasn’t their first public interaction since their breakup in 2007. At the 2024 Dadasaheb Phalke Awards, Kareena walked past Shahid without acknowledging him, while Shahid remained composed.

Shahid and Kareena were a popular couple in the 2000s, starring in films like Fida (2004), Chup Chup Ke (2006), and the iconic Jab We Met (2007). Their breakup was highly publicized at the time.

Fans praised their friendly behavior at IIFA 2025, noting the improvement in their interactions. One comment read, "Back during Udta Punjab days, they couldn’t even stand together. It took them years to get here!"

However, the internet had mixed reactions to their reunion, with fans posting:

"Normal??... Like did she just ignore him last time? 😂😂"

"Feels like Kareena wants Shahid's attention."

"Nazar lag gayi jodi ko!" 

"Kareena is blushing!"

"Ghar jaane ke baad Shahid Kapoor ki khair nahi hogi!" (Shahid might be in trouble when he gets home!)

The unexpected interaction sparked nostalgia among fans, especially for their roles as Geet and Aditya in Jab We Met, a milestone in both their careers.
