When Karan Johar asked Saif Ali Khan & Shahid Kapoor about having Kareena Kapoor as a point of commonality
Mumbai, May 30
Karan Johar, famous for his bold and controversial questions on "Koffee with Karan", once put Saif Ali Khan and Shahid Kapoor in the spotlight by bringing up their shared connection, Kareena Kapoor.
It was in the year 2017, when Saif, Shahid, and Kangana appeared on his show to promote their movie "Rangoon". During the course of the conversation, Karan asked Saif and Shahid, "Did you guys ever had a weird moment considering you had Kareena in common in history, in life?"
Handling an awkward situation gracefully, Saif gave a hilarious reply saying, "Well, you know, I do love history, but this is even older than medieval now. I think. It's way back", leaving Kangana in a split.
Stressing that they all have moved on in life, Saif even went on to congratulate Shahid on having a child with his wife, Mira Rajput.
Reciprocating the gesture, Shahid also congratulated Saif on embracing parenthood with Bebo.
Showing how they shared a great rapport, despite all the history, Saif continued, "So, you know, water under the bridge. He (Shahid) is a lovely guy. We got along perfectly well from the first time we met. It was a pleasure to work with and unfortunately for you know, anyone expecting any drama."
Jumping in on the conversation, Shahid added, "There was none at all actually".
It is well known fact that before dating Saif, Kareena was in a relationship with Shahid for few years.
However, now both Bebo and Shahid are believed to be good friends.
Talking about "Rangoon", the film has been directed by Vishal Bhardwaj and produced by Sajid Nadiadwala and Viacom 18 Motion Pictures.
The project marked the first on-screen collaboration of Shahid and Saif.
Set against the backdrop of World War II, the film reached the cinema halls on 24 February 2017. However, it failed to perform at the ticket counters.

Karan Johar always knows how to stir the pot! 😂 But credit to Saif and Shahid for handling it so gracefully. They really proved that grown-ups can move on without making it awkward. Kareena must be proud of both!
While I admire the professionalism, I think Karan needs to stop digging up old relationships for TRP. It's 2024 now, let people move on. But yes, Saif's reply was hilarious - "even older than medieval"! 🤣
Waah! This is what happens when you have real class. Saif and Shahid didn't just handle the question, they owned it. And the way they congratulated each other on family milestones - that's the kind of respect we need more of in Bollywood. 👏
Honestly, I think this is overhyped. It happened in 2017, and people are still talking about it? Let it go, media. But sahi mein, Saif's response was the highlight - he didn't let Karan get the drama he wanted. 😏
