Karisma on the Kareena-Mira crossover

Actress gets candid about the buzz surrounding her sister and Shahid Kapoor’s wife appearing together, admitting, “Everyone’s like, ‘What’s going on?’” 

Karisma Kapoor reacted to Kareena Kapoor Khan and Mira Rajput’s much-talked-about recent appearance together. Lolo spoke about it during on Koffee With Karan 9. During the show’s celebrity call segment, Kareena called her sister, who seemingly had no idea that she was about to be pulled into the conversation surrounding her sister and Shahid Kapoor's ex-wife.

When Kareena asked Karisma what she was doing, Lolo replied, “I’m just watching you and Mira. Everywhere. Everyone’s like, ‘What's going on?’” Kareena quickly clarified, “What do you mean? She came on my show, What Women Want.”

Seemingly sensing the awkwardness surrounding the unexpected pairing, Karisma played it safe and responded, “Sweet, very nice.” However,  host Karan Johar interrupted her, a shocked Lolo exclaimed, “Oh no! How can you all do this to me?” 

Amused Saif

Saif Ali Khan also appeared amused by the unexpected combination and admitted, “I was just a little like... where is this going?” Interestingly, this isn’t the first time Saif has addressed his connection with Kareena Kapoor’s ex-boyfriend Shahid Kapoor. 

Blast from the past

During their 2017 appearance on Koffee With Karan 5 with Kangana Ranaut, Johar asked the two actors if they had ever felt awkward sharing a connection through Kareena. Saif laughed off the question, saying, “I do love history, but this is older than medieval times now. I think. It’s way back.” He further added, “Water under the bridge. He (Shahid) is a lovely guy. We got along perfectly well from the first time we met.” Shahid, too, dismissed any awkwardness, and said, “There was none at all actually.” The two were promoting their film Rangoon at the time.

Kareena and Shahid were once reportedly in a relationship and were among Bollywood’s much-talked-about couples. The two reportedly began dating while working together on Fida (2004) and later starred in Jab We Met (2007). However, the actors parted ways before the film’s release in 2007. Kareena later married Saif in 2012, while Shahid tied the knot with Mira in 2015.
