Today, Shahid Kapoor is happily married to Mira Rajput, with whom he shares two children, while Kareena Kapoor Khan enjoys marital bliss with Saif Ali Khan and their two children.

During an old interview, Shahid Kapoor discussed why he and Kareena Kapoor Khan seemed uncomfortable during the promotions of their film “Udta Punjab.”

Speaking at a Radio Mirchi event, Shahid addressed the question and disclosed his rationale for refraining from posing alone with his former girlfriend. His response showcased his thoughtfulness and maturity:

Just tell me how it is decided that two people feel awkward. That we were looking at each other in a particular way? What you did find awkward? Because if I and Kareena click pictures together then people will just write about it and keep talking about it only. Hum vaha pe as a team aaye the. Main chahata tha uska sahi representation ho.”
