Shahid Kapoor and Kareena Kapoor Khan are one of the few ex-couples in the history of Hindi cinema, who never fails to grab eyeballs just for crossing each other at events and award ceremonies. The couple started dating back in 2004 when they were working on the film, Fida. However, it was during the filming of Imtiaz Ali's Jab We Met in 2007 that they decided to part ways due to some irreconcilable issues.
Fast forward to today, Shahid Kapoor is happily married to Mira Rajput, and they're blessed with two kids, Misha and Zain. On the other side, Kareena Kapoor Khan is also leading a happy married life with Saif Ali Khan and their two children, Taimur Ali Khan and Jehangir Ali Khan.
