The wait is
finally over. The award season is here and the 1st gala, Lux Golden Rose
Awards, was held last night at Reliance Studios. The event, which was
a celebration of Bollywood’s most beautiful women and their iconic
performances in Hindi cinema, had a bevy of actresses including Kareena Kapoor,
Deepika Padukone, Katrina Kaif, Anushka Sharma, Malaika Arora, Sridevi,
Aditi Rao Hydari among others in attendance. Amongst the men, Shah Rukh Khan,
Shahid Kapoor, Hrithik Roshan, Arjun Kapoor and Sushant Singh Rajput amped up
the glam quotient of the evening.

With so many stars under one roof, how can spicy
happenings evade us? So let me give you this shocking piece of news that
transpired backstage. It so happened that Shahid Kapoor was waiting to go on
stage for his performance and former flame Kareena Kapoor, looking ravishing in
red, stepped in to use the washroom. Usually, exes tend to just exchange
pleasantries and carry on, but what happened next blew me away! Both Shahid and
Kareena instantly hugged and congratulated each other. While, Shahid congratulated
and wished Kareena all the best for her soon to be born baby, Kareena
congratulated her Udta Punjab co-star for his recent parenthood.

It was heartening to see two ex-lovers stars be so
comfortable in each other’s presence.
Kareena and Shahid dated for 3 years before calling
it quits in 2007. Post their break-up, the duo has
maintained a safe distance and ensured that they never cross each other’s
paths. However, 9 years after they called time on their relationship, they
shared the dais during the trailer launch of their film, Udta Punjab.
Interestingly, the two did not share screen space in the movie. While the tension between the former lovers
was palpable initially, Kareena took the initiative to break the ice and from
then on, the two seemed rather comfortable as they spoke about the film and
working with each other.

A few months ago,
it was reported that when the news of Shahid and wife Mira Rajput being blessed
with a baby girl spread, Kareena texted Shahid wishing him and Mira all the
luck for their new journey. Awww. All’s well that ends well.
