Ever since their break-up in 2007, each time the Bollywood superstars crossed paths, they drew a lot of media attention.
But when they met at the recently-concluded IIFA Award function in Florida, Shahid Kapoor and Kareena Kapoor offered a new twist to the story. Kareena, who was accompanied by her husband Saif Ali Khan, greeted her ex cordially, leaving him speechless, momentarily.
Revealed an eyewitness: “When Kareena and Saif stepped on to the stage to present an award, Shahid, who was co-anchoring the segment with Farhan Akhtar, was standing at the the far end. Kareena greeted him graciously and even complimented the duo on the brilliant job they were doing. Saif who was standing beside his wife, smiled too. Shahid responded to Kareena’s “Hi” courteously but after the couple had stepped off the stage, he turned to his co-host with a grin and asked: “Did she say ‘Hi’ to me?”
When Shahid and Kareena ended their four year-long relationship acrimoniously, few believed that they would ever manage to put their past behind. But a couple of years ago, at the Filmfare Awards, the two had met and exchanged similar plesantaries. But Saif was not present on that occasion.
While the two actors have always maintained that if an interesting script pops up, they’d be happy to work together again, industry seniors have always believed otherwise.
