It appears that Shahid Kapoor and Kareena Kapoor Khan have finally put their past behind them and moved on with their lives, as the former couple was recently spotted sharing a moment of camaraderie at the IIFA Digital Awards 2025.

After years of speculation and rumours surrounding their relationship, it is the first time that the Jab We Met stars were seen talking and, more surprisingly, hugging each other in public. This gesture has left fans excited and curious, given their complicated history.

A video circulating captures Kareena hugging Shahid before moving on to give Karan Johar a warm embrace. After greeting Karan, Kareena continues to chat with Shahid, showing a sense of ease and familiarity that many didn't expect after their breakup years ago. The reunion seemed to be a cordial one, with the two stars engaging in lively conversation, which was a pleasant surprise for their fans.



In another video shared, Shahid and Kareena were seen talking to each other, fully engaged in the conversation. Kareena, known for her striking presence, also posed for pictures with Shahid, Karan Johar, and Kartik Aaryan. The chemistry between the two appeared to be comfortable and natural, leaving fans hopeful about the possibility of a healthy friendship blossoming between them.


Further fuelling the excitement, the official IIFA page posted a video where Kareena, alongside Madhuri Dixit, Kriti Sanon, Kartik Aaryan, and Karan Johar, chose to stand next to Shahid Kapoor during a group photograph and talked to him fully engaged. Despite the presence of other celebrities, it was clear that Kareena was content standing beside her Udta Punjab co-star, Shahid, which added to the growing speculation of their newfound friendship.
