Kareena Kapoor Khan also expressed her excitement about performing at the 25th edition of IIFA. She said,
“Namaskar, it feels so good to be here. I’m so happy that IIFA asked me to perform. My performance will be very special because it has been 100 years of my grandfather Raj Kapoor, and we are going to pay a tribute to him. I’m very, very excited. It’s a very emotional moment, and I can’t wait for tomorrow night.”
The Legacy of Jab We Met
Kareena and Shahid Kapoor last worked together in the iconic 2007 film Jab We Met. The movie, directed by Imtiaz Ali, became a turning point for Bollywood rom-coms, solidifying Imtiaz’s place as a top filmmaker. The story followed Aditya Kashyap (Shahid Kapoor), a heartbroken businessman, who meets a lively Punjabi girl Geet Dhillon (Kareena Kapoor) during a train journey. The film, shot across Mumbai, Bhatinda, and Shimla, became a cult favorite, with music by Pritam and lyrics by Irshad Kamil.
Their Personal Journeys Post-Breakup
Following Jab We Met, both actors moved on in their personal lives. Kareena Kapoor dated Saif Ali Khan for five years before they tied the knot in 2012. The couple has two sons, Taimur and Jeh.
Shahid Kapoor, on the other hand, married Mira Rajput in 2015, and they have two children, Misha (born 2016) and Zain (born 2018).
