Kareena
Kapoor
and
Shahid
Kapoor-
This
was
one
pairing
which
has
just
started
showing
signs
of
being
an
established
'jodi'
on
the
big
screen.
Their
Jab
We
Met
had
become
a
good
hit
but
much
more
than
just
box
office
outcome,
what
was
loved
most
was
the
endearing
presence
of
a
couple
that
seemed
to
have
got
the
nuances
right
for
a
romcom,
a
term
which
pretty
much
got
coined
in
the
context
of
Bollywood
cinema
post
Imtiaz
Ali
packaged
the
whole
love
story
genre
in
an
entirely
different
manner.
The
same
'jodi'
which
was
lynched
for
being
supremely
uneven
in
Fida
was
now
the
darling
of
the
masses,
classes
as
well
as
the
media.
The
forgettable
past
of
Chup
Chup
Ke
was
best
left
buried
and
it
was
time
to
herald
a
new
pairing
which
could
well
have
picked
up
from
where
Shahrukh
Khan
and
Kajol
(in
their
younger
days)
had
left.
Alas,
that
was
never
meant
to
be
the
case
as
the
world
is
aware
about
the
incidents
that
led
to
Shahid
and
Kareena
'jodi'
going
kaput
once
the
release
of
'Jab
We
Met'
was
round
the
corner.
The
film
worked,
even
the
'jodi'
did
but
the
hopes
of
all
those
dozen
odd
film
makers
who
were
hoping
to
cash
in
on
this
new
found
success
of
the
two
Kapoors
were
in
for
a
disappointment.
Amidst
all
these
unfortunate
turn
of
events,
there
was
one
film
maker
who
was
in
the
middle
of
all
the
action.
He
was
Boney
Kapoor,
the
man
who
could
actually
get
into
the
Hall
of
Fame
if
he
could
ever
finish
and
release
his
film
inside
a
year.
Call
it
sheer
mishap
but
just
like
so
many
of
his
films
in
the
past,
he
too
had
his
Milenge
Milenge
beginning
much
before
Jab
We
Met
and
is
now
seeing
signs
of
revival
two
years
later.
The
situation
has
pretty
much
changed
for
the
film
during
half
a
decade
that
has
gone
in
the
making
of
the
film.
Alas,
in
the
absence
of
concrete
announcement
around
the
release
of
the
film,
there
have
been
speculations
galore
around
Shahid
and
Kareena
giving
their
nod
to
the
promotion
of
the
film.
Today,
even
for
an
average
budget
film
with
lesser
stars,
a
round
of
radio
stations,
TV
studios,
print
media,
and
website
stations
and
even
straight
on
to
the
roads
is
the
bare
minimum
for
any
film
to
be
noticed.
It's
a
24X7
job,
literally.
In
such
a
scenario,
getting
the
two
superstars
on
a
platform
even
alone,
let
aside
together,
was
imagined
to
be
a
humungous
task
for
the
makers.
One
may
well
have
chosen
to
believe
all
these
rumors
to
be
true
considering
the
fact
that
no
love
seemed
to
have
most
between
the
'once
in
love
jodi'.
However,
all
speculations
could
well
come
to
an
end
now
since
Kareena
is
well
declaring
that
there
was
never
any
war
per
se
to
begin
with.
"Really,
I
can't
help
if
media
chooses
to
report
things
based
on
their
whims
and
fancies.
When
did
I
ever
say
that
I
won't
be
working
with
Shahid?
In
fact
I
loved
Shahid
in
'Kaminey'.
He
was
superb
there.
Our
personal
equation
can't
define
our
professional
relationship.
Whatever
has
happened
in
the
past
and
could
take
place
in
future,
I
will
always
be
Shahid's
well
wisher",
Kareena
sets
the
record
straight
as
she
makes
her
stance
clear
about
the
boundaries
around
her
personal
and
professional
life.
Now
this
was
the
easy
part,
since
one
does
expect
a
superstar
of
her
stature
to
respect
her
professional
commitments.
However,
things
may
well
be
a
little
different
when
it
comes
to
the
matters
of
heart.
While
she
may
well
be
game
for
talking
about
Milenge
Milenge,
would
she
be
equally
enthusiastic
doing
so
on
the
same
platform
with
Shahid
Kapoor?
Quite
a
tricky
situation
since
the
film
is
a
love
story
and
it
may
be
counter
productive
for
the
movie
if
they
are
not
seen
together
and
talking
in
unison.
"These
are
things
that
are
just
written
and
talked
about
for
effect.
I
have
absolutely
no
problems
sharing
stage
with
Shahid
for
the
film's
promotion.
When
I
am
willing
to
do
films
with
him,
why
would
I
hesitate
from
the
promotional
perspective?
I
also
heard
recently
that
I
had
said
'no'
to
shooting
for
a
music
video
with
him
to
promote
Milenge
Milenge.
Now
someone
has
to
tell
me
where
did
that
come
from?
Was
any
quote
of
mine
seen
anywhere?
Puhleeze,
I
am
there
for
the
makers
whenever
they
call
me",
Kareena
quashes
another
rumor.
The
two
have
moved
on
in
life
and
doing
extremely
good
for
themselves
personally
as
well
as
professionally.
They
won't
end
up
saying
Milenge
Milenge
for
sure
but
it
would
be
worth
a
treat,
if
they
end
up
doing
that
at
least
in
front
of
the
camera
for
many
more
years
to
come.
Amen!
