Once, in an old interview with Radio Mirchi, Shahid Kapoor talked about the reason why he decided not to pose with his 'Udta Punjab' co-star, Kareena Kapoor Khan. Here's what he had said!
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.

Once, in an old interview, Shahid Kapoor was asked why he and Kareena Kapoor Khan looked awkward during the promotions of their film, Udta Punjab. In his conversation with the media at a Radio Mirchi event, Shahid addressed the question and even revealed the reason why he decided not to pose solo with his ex-girlfriend, Kareena. The actor gave a brilliant answer that speaks volumes of his intelligence and mindset. Shahid said:
"Just tell me how it is decided that two people feel awkward. That we were looking at each other in a particular way? What you did find awkward? Because if I and Kareena click pictures together then people will just write about it and keep talking about it only. Hum vaha pe as a team aaye the. Main chahata tha uska sahi representation ho.”
