How is Shahid handling the break-up?
Nov 07, 2007
Even as I watched Jab We Met, it was becoming difficult for me to believe that Shahid Kapur and Kareena Kapoor were no more a couple. People might just see it as another 'split' story in the tinsel town, but the fact remains that one realizes the pain only when one goes through the phase himself. I remember interacting with Sharmila Tagore once, when she said, "The hottest love has the coldest end." Well, she was quoting Socrates, and she was right.
My association with Kareena began five years ago, when I had joined Stardust magazine. The first time I met Kareena was at Karishma's wedding. She came across as an extremely fun loving person with no starry tantrums. Since the time I have known her, she has been dating Shahid. They have been open about their relationship and that was the most interesting aspect in the couple’s life. I have seen Kareena waiting for Shahid to finish his shot and then they would have lunch together. They were planning to settle in life and she even went ahead and bought an apartment at the same building where Shahid is staying at the moment.
"Why do you think that all relationship has to end in a legal recognition?" one top ranking actress had asked me once. We expect people to do what we want them to do. We thought Kareena would walk the aisle with Shahid. They looked compatible and I remember Kareena recommending Shahid's name to producers and also agreeing to do films with him at nominal remuneration. "Kareena had faith in Shahid and she knew that he had the potential of becoming a star one day. In fact, she even took panga with most of the heroes in the industry because she would blatantly say in all her interviews that Shahid is the best actor in this industry. Most of the actors refused to work with Kareena because she was promoting Shahid," says a close friend of Bebo.
As for me, I don't blame Bebo. You just can’t help falling in love no matter how much you avoid. Her association with Shahid had made Kareena a reserved human being. Earlier, she was an extremely unpredictable person and would always end up fighting with someone or the other. With Shahid around, Kareena became much sober. I have noticed 'sea change' in Kareena as a person.
I am not just talking about her attitude towards her co-actors. Kareena turned vegetarian only because of Shahid and then she became more focused on her career. She did off-beat films like Chameli, Dev and Omkara. She lost oodles of weight post Don because Shahid insisted her on getting into shape. Shahid is an extremely disciplined person, and Kareena followed his footsteps. She stopped late night parties.
In fact, when I met Kareena during my Mumbai Mirror tenure, she had changed completely. "I like the new Kareena and I guess it's Shahid who gifted me this Kareena, I shall be always grateful to him for showing the real me in myself," she had said. I realized that she was talking sense.
I was happy for both of them. Shahid used to maintain a distance from me and was just cordial at the cost of being 'cold' most of the time, but Kareena would always be chirpy and would greet with a bright smile.
Now that they have finally drifted away and Kareena has found her new love in Saif Ali Khan, I wish her all the best. They both have handled the situation really well and I think credit goes to Shahid as well. A close friend says, "Kareena was smitten by Saif while she was shooting for Omakara. And when Rosa (Saif's ex-girlfriend) realized it, she decided to part ways. It was really difficult for Shahid to believe that she dumped him, and moved ahead in life. And we know for a fact that Shahid is not dating Vidya Balan and it was just a rumor."
I feel that moving on is simple; it's what you leave behind that makes your life difficult. Trying to forget someone you love can be very difficult. I can understand what Shahid must be going through at the moment, especially when their films have finally done well at the box-office. Few years ago, when another actor had split with his girlfriend he had put his feelings wonderfully. I borrow his phrase, "I miss you a little, I guess you could say, a little too much, a little too often, and a little more each day. I'm going to smile and make you think I'm happy, I'm going to laugh, so you don't see me cry, I'm going to let you go in style, and even if it kills me- I'm going to smile."
And when I asked the actress about the same hero, she had smiled and said, "I don't miss him, and I miss the person I thought he actually was!"

All the best to both of them in their life....Kareena still likes shahid somwhere deep in her heart...Shahid knows it...I hope they'll get bac sooooooooooooooooooooooooooon...Surely they both have some misunderstandings among them...
Whatz d problem bw kareena and shahid??Can't understand but i can feel shahid's feelings about how he will be feeling...So sad...Shame on their path that they have broken after 4 years of their replationship..If they wudn't hav been shared a relasionship of 4 yrs it wud have been easy for shahid 2 digest thet she has dumped him..Now after so many years how did kareena think that shahid can digest this issue....Kareena plzzz tell us whatz d problem..I like kareena and shahid both very much...They make a gud pair..Kareena i personally feel that u r sharing ur life with a wrong person like saif...This is imprtant kareena-----u hav known him 4m 4 yrs...If u have think that he doesn't loves he wudn't hav worried so much after u dumped her...I wish and i'm praying that they get back soooooooooooooooon before 2008******************..Love u kareena and shahid......Love ur jodi.......
I am an ardent bebo fan... And i have read all the interviews wriiten by ram kamal which mumbai mirror published. Bebo is a fantastic person and she is nt as fake as ash. So she will keep a cordial relationship with shahid and they wll work also. I have seen jab we met three times and i can watch it again.. Finally they have succeded in sealing the lips of her detractors who would constantly mention that bebo didn't share any chemistry with shahid. I think that she will make a fab couple with saif.. And shahid must date amrita rao, they will look nice.
I have recently spotted bebo with her family in goa. I like they come from the true blue family and she will look fab with a royal guy like sak and not with shahid. Saif is looking younger by the day and that's what makes him attractive. Ram has written is well, and he has balanced the article.
Ek dum correct dada! I think you have a very good perspective on these issues. Great.. Lage raho!
Hi... Ram i am loving ur blog! Good job. I wish shahid all the best because he is very talented and i think he has come up a big way. He needs to be concentrating on his work... And i think he will look nice with vidya balan.. Kareena might look beautiful, but vidya looks intelligent and that's what will match with shahid.
Hey ram!
i think i know the actor u r talking abt.. Is it vivek oberoi? I think he is very romantic and well read.. So such kind of comment can only come from vivek and the actress u mentioned at the last is aishwarya rai.. Plz lemme knw i am right ir wrong? But frankly speaking i like bebo and saif more that bebo and shahid. I also like the way u have smartly handled the subject!! Lage raho ram bhai!
Recently spotted bebo and saif at the special screening of sanwariya, they walked hand in hand and even shahid was around. I think bebo looks fabulous with 'hot and yummy' saif. Saif has that royal look and he is the actual sex god in indian screen. I like the way ram kamal has written the article and that shows his flair in the subject. I pray that this time saif should nt dump his girlfriend. He has got the look and she has the body, they will be the most sizzling couple on and off screen!
Very well written article. I think shahid is very dignified and bebo should realize that its shahid who will be loyal and not saif ali khan.
Well reading this article reminds me of an episode of 'koffee with karan' in which karan had asked anil kapoor as to who he felt among a list of couples was least likely to walk down the ailse' and he had then mentioned kareena and shahid!!! This was when the relationship had not showed any dents. So it seems that people in the industry did perceive this as a probability. To me the break up came as no surprise. These are everyday stories of the indian film industry. Even the few love stories that have been successful have had their share of controversies eg. Amitabh and jaya with rekha . So just as kareena has found new love( this guy 'saif 'does not seem to be 'safe' considering the link ups after his break up with his wife amrita) am sure shahid will also find new love, ram bharose!!
