Mumbai, Oct 5: Kareena Kapoor and Shahid Kapur were supposed to show how real the romantic chemistry is between them in Imtiaz Ali’s movie Jab We Met . But fate, it seems, is not without a sense of irony.
With just a few weeks remaining for the film’s release, Shahid and Kareena are in the news for having put an end to their long long romance. And what is surprising is the way the end came – with a thud rather than a bang. Shahid was shooting in Toronto, and Kareena was painting the tinsel town red with Saif Ali Khan , believed to be the new man in her life. Who ditched whom is still not clear.
Sparks were expected to fly on Tuesday October 2, when Shahid and Kareena came together one more time to shoot some patchwork scenes for ‘Jab We Met’ at a studio in Goregaon here. But eyewitnesses say the couple were very cordial with each other during the shoot. The only thing that indicated that there was a friction between them was their somewhat formal attitude toward each other.
In fact, rumour mills are now speculating an altogether new angle to the Shahid-Kareena split.
It is being speculated that Kareena walked away from Shahid because of his closeness to another actress, a gorgeous damsel with whom he has worked in the past, but whose name we are not disclosing for the sake of discretion.
Whatever the case, trade pundits believe that the Shahid-Kareena split will not harm the prospects of ‘Jab We Met’.
“People are now more eager to see Shahid and Kareena together, even if only in a movie. The whole break-off episode has put the two stars in the news again. If the so-called break-off is true, the movie will still draw audiences to the theatre. But if it is not true, then it would be the most authentic and believable publicity gimmick in the history of Indian cinema,” says an industry insider.
Meanwhile, Shahid and Kareena are remaining tightlipped about the rumours of their split. Kareena has told a tabloid that she has had a pact with Shahid that they won’t discuss their personal lives in media.
