After
three
years
of
togetherness,
it's
over
between
Kareena
Kapoor
and
Shahid
Kapoor.
The
couple,
often
touted
as
'most-likely-to-stick-
together',
has
split.
And
as
in
most
love
stories,
the
divide
is
the
result
of
the
relationship
becoming
too
crowded.
Saif
Ali
Khan's
entry
has
pushed
Shahid
out
of
the
love
equation.
A
source
says,
"Bebo
and
Saif
behave
like
teenagers
in
love.
They
constantly
send
each
other
lovey-dovey
messages
and
even
have
photos
of
one
another
on
their
phones."
Instant
attraction
However,
Kareena
is
somewhat
wary
of
the
commitment-phobic
Khan.
That's
why
she
is
not
going
to
town
about
her
love
for
him.
"Bebo
craves
security,
but
she's
not
sure
how
committed
Saif
is
after
his
break-up
with
Amrita
Singh
and
Rozza.
However,
Saif
cares
about
her
deeply.
Bebo
is
a
warm
person
and
a
great
friend
to
hang
around
with.
He
can't
help
being
attracted
to
her," says
a
source.
As
reported
('There's
something
about
Saif',
August
27),
Khan
and
Kareena
became
close
while
shooting
for
Yash
Raj
Films'
Tashan.
This
comes
close
on
the
heels
of
rumours
that
her
relationship
with
Shahid
is
on
the
rocks.
Apparently,
the
couple
has
been
having
problems
for
some
time.
"Every
relationship
goes
through
ups
and
downs,
and
so
has
theirs.
They've
had
loads
of
fights
but
have
always
stood
by
each
other.
Usually,
distance
makes
the
heart
grow
fonder,
but
in
their
case,
it
has
made
the
heart
flounder."
Not
so
happy:
Shahid
Kapoor
and
Kareena
Kapoor
Shahid
unaware
A
close
friend
of
Shahid
reveals
that
the
actor
is
clueless
about
Saif's
closeness
to
Bebo
as
he's
in
Canada
shooting
for
Nagesh
Kukunoor's
Tasveer.
"I
don't
think
Shahid
is
aware
about
Saif
and
Kareena.
It'll
surely
come
as
a
shock
to
him.
As
far
as
he
knows,
they're
still
together.
Maybe
it's
over
from
Kareena's
side," says
the
friend.
Comparisons
are
odious
but
that's
exactly
what
happened
in
the
Aishwarya
Bachchan-Vivek
Oberoi
saga.
Abhishek
Bachchan
and
Ash
became
close
on
the
sets
on
Guru,
but
Vivek
scoffed
at
the
rumours.
That
was
until
he
read
about
a
source
close
to
Ash
admitting
to
this
paper
that
she
was
no
longer
interested
in
him.
Kareena
chose
not
to
comment
on
the
story,
but
a
source
close
to
her
claims,
"Shahid
and
Bebo
are
very
much
together.
It's
just
that
their
shooting
commitments
have
kept
them
busy,
so
they
haven't
been
able
to
meet
each
other
for
nearly
two
months."
Is
it
serious?
The
big
question
now
is:
just
how
serious
is
Saif
about
Kareena?
While
she's
been
in
a
committed
relationship
for
three
years
now,
for
Saif
it's
a
case
of
exit-Bipasha,
enter-Kareena.
The
chote
nawab
is
in
the
mood
to
play
the
field,
so
will
the
liaison
last?
It's
hard
to
say,
really.
If
Saif
is
truly
in
love,
it's
time
he
got
serious
and
made
a
commitment.
Right
now,
neither
is
thinking
of
the
future.
It's
all
about
living
in
the
moment.
However,
things
are
now
up
to
Shahid.
Once
he's
in
the
know,
will
he
forgive
his
girlfriend's
transgression
if
she
comes
back
to
him?
We'll
let
you
know.
