Bollywood has many such hidden relationships which never got an ‘official’ stamp but we all know they existed once upon a time.
Deepika Padukone and Shahid Kapoor are also a part of that list. And that’s why it is surprising to see them exchange tweets with each other now.
Especially when none of them bothered to comment, defend, offend or write anything for each other all these years.
No matter how many milestones came in their respective lives, the two never BOTHERED to express their views on each others’ achievements.
That’s the reason when we saw Shahid’d tweet on Deepika’s wall after her Hollwood venture xXx: The Return of Xander Cage’s trailer came out, it left us surprised!
Shahid in clear words congratulated Deepika Padukone. And Deepika in return acknowledged the gesture with ‘emoticons’!

Deepika won many prestigious awards-No comment from Shahid. Deepika rose to stardom like no other heroine in Bollywood- No comments from Shahid. Deepika won hearts with her rock solid performances in films like Piku and Bajirao Mastani- Yet No comment from Shahid.
Same goes for Deepika who never bothered to appreciate Shahid’d performance in Haider or speak on the latest Udta Punjab censor controversy. Both stayed mum!
Only time they were spotted interacting with each other- that too for a fleeting moment was at an awards show, which was after Shahid’s marriage.
But when it came down to working in a film together, things had to change. Now that both are working in Sanjay Leela Bhansali’s Padmavati, where Shahid will be seen as Deepika’s husband Raja Ratan Singh of Chittor, this regular banter on social media becomes a part of the film promotion. Isn’t it?
A lot of eyebrows were anyways raised when ex-couple Shahid Kapoor and Deepika Padukone agreed to do a film together and visited Sanjay Leela Bhansali's Juhu office for the costume trial and narration of Bhansali's upcoming historical romance Padmavati.
For those who are trying to join the dots, here’s the dope. A couple of years ago, industry was abuzz with loud whispers of a romance brewing between the two, after Shahid's car was spotted outside Deepika's building on many occasions. But a few months later, Shahid got linked up with others and Deepika met Ranveer Singh. It was obvious that the Sasha-Dippy love story had fizzled out.
But now that Shahid and Deepika have decided to do the film together, might as well do everything to create enough buzz around it, even if that means doing something which they never did in the past.
