Shahid Kapoor on Reuniting with Kareena Kapoor at IIFA 2025: It’s Totally Normal for Us

Shahid Kapoor has finally broken his silence on the much-talked-about moment between him and Kareena Kapoor at IIFA 2025. Their friendly interaction and warm hug at the event in Jaipur went viral, leaving fans nostalgic about their past and curious about their current equation. Addressing the buzz, Shahid dismissed any overanalysis of the moment, stating, “It’s totally normal for us.”

The two actors, who were once in a highly publicized relationship, have moved on in their personal and professional lives. While Kareena is happily married to Saif Ali Khan, Shahid is settled with Mira Rajput. Despite their past, the duo has always maintained professionalism in the industry, and Shahid’s recent statement reflects their mature approach to the situation.

Their hug and interaction at IIFA took fans by surprise, but Shahid downplayed the hype, indicating that they have both moved on and there is no awkwardness between them. “People make a big deal out of things that are quite normal. Kareena and I have been part of the industry for years, and we respect each other’s work. It was just a normal greeting, nothing more,” he added.

Their past relationship, which ended before the release of their iconic film Jab We Met, is still a topic of discussion among Bollywood fans. However, their ability to maintain cordial relations over the years has been widely appreciated. They even shared screen space in Udta Punjab, though they did not have scenes together.

With the video of their reunion continuing to trend, fans are left reminiscing about their on-screen chemistry while also appreciating the maturity with which they handle their past. While there are no known future collaborations between the two, their IIFA 2025 moment has certainly proved that in Bollywood, exes can be friends—or at least, friendly colleagues.
