Kareena Kapoor Khan and Shahid Kapoor’s short-lived romance has always intrigued Bollywood fans. The duo, who reportedly fell in love while shooting for their 2004 film Fida, shared a relationship that
was closely followed by the media and their admirers. Years later, a throwback interview of Kareena surfaced where she opened up about her bond with Shahid and what made it truly special.
In a conversation with Cosmopolitan, Kareena admitted that the most cherished part of her relationship with Shahid was the comfort of simplicity. She revealed, “I get to be normal and do normal things.” The actress explained that despite living in the limelight, it was the ordinary, everyday moments spent with Shahid that mattered most to her.
Kareena Kapoor and Shahid Kapoor’s Early Days of Love
When asked about the biggest thing she had ever done for Shahid in their relationship, Kareena was honest about the fact that they were still in the early stages of dating at the time. The couple reportedly kept their romance under wraps, mostly because of their hectic film schedules.
Kareena also confessed that she never rode Shahid’s bike, admitting she was too scared. The actress said she had a fear of both heights and speed, which kept her away from that adventurous side of Shahid.
Though their real-life romance came to an end in 2007, the same year saw them deliver one of Bollywood’s most beloved romantic films, Imtiaz Ali’s Jab We Met. Their chemistry as Geet and Aditya remains iconic and continues to win hearts even today.
The former couple later appeared together in Milenge Milenge (2010), a remake of the Hollywood classic Serendipity. However, unlike Jab We Met, the film failed to create the same impact and did not fare well with audiences.
After parting ways, both stars moved on to find lasting relationships. Kareena Kapoor Khan married Saif Ali Khan in 2012 and the power couple are now proud parents to two boys. Shahid Kapoor tied the knot with Mira Rajput in 2015 and together they are raising two children.
