In a world where celebrity relationships often take center stage, Shahid Kapoor‘s connections with his past partners remain a topic of intrigue. While the actor, now happily married to Mira Rajput, cherishes his present, past ties with prominent stars like Kareena Kapoor and Priyanka Chopra capture attention. This intrigue resurfaced recently when an old clip from Koffee With Karan, aired in 2014, featuring Shahid and Sonakshi Sinha, came to light. During the episode, Shahid candidly admitted that forgetting his exes is nearly impossible, as they frequently make headlines.
Karan Johar, known for his penchant for conversation, remarked to Shahid about being sans girlfriend on the show, alluding to Shahid’s previous appearances with Kareena and Priyanka. Shahid, with his characteristic humor, responded, “I have a terrible memory… I keep forgetting what happened in the previous days so I really wouldn’t remember.” However, when pressed about whether he had erased memories of his former partners, Shahid acknowledged, “They’re very big stars and they’re in the papers every day, so you can’t erase them out of your memory… but I do have a bad memory, so most things of the past are forgotten.”
When Karan nudged further, asking whom he might want to forget, Shahid, maintaining diplomacy, called it a “difficult choice” and refrained from naming anyone. The conversation meandered to the topic of social interactions, with Shahid sharing insights on his relationships post-breakup. “With Kareena, I’ve not interacted with her at all ever since. I’ve bumped into her once and it was mildly awkward, I would say, but we were both trying to be formal and nice. With Priyanka, I’ve hung around a lot and it’s always been good and we’ve done films together and it’s chilled out.” Shahid confirmed he could maintain a friendship with Priyanka, though things with Kareena were different.
Time has passed, altering dynamics and easing tensions. Shahid Kapoor, Kareena Kapoor, and Priyanka Chopra all enjoy married lives and continue to find success in their careers. A poignant moment of camaraderie occurred at IIFA 2025 when Shahid and Kareena shared a warm hug, prompting a flurry of online chatter likening it to a “Jab We Met” reunion. However, like many media moments, the buzz eventually dissipated.
Shahid Kapoor’s reflections on these past connections emphasize the enduring impact of relationships, especially when entwined with the constant gaze of the media. His journey underscores that while fame can preserve memories, it cannot erase the shared histories of those involved.
