Rumors of a Jab We Met sequel have been circulating ever since Shahid Kapoor and Kareena Kapoor Khan shared a warm moment at IIFA 2025. Fans eagerly await the possibility of seeing the iconic duo reunite on screen. However, director Imtiaz Ali has now addressed these speculations, offering clarity on whether the much-loved film will get a follow-up.
Shahid-Kareena Reunion Sparks Speculation
The buzz around a potential sequel began when Shahid and Kareena were seen interacting at the IIFA Awards 2025. Their unexpected reunion instantly reminded fans of their memorable on-screen chemistry as Aditya and Geet in the 2007 romantic comedy Jab We Met. Social media erupted with excitement, with many speculating that a sequel might be in the works.

Imtiaz Ali’s Response to the Sequel Rumors
Reacting to the speculation, Imtiaz Ali acknowledged the enthusiasm but dismissed the idea of a sequel. He found it fascinating that people immediately connected the actors’ interaction to Jab We Met.
“Actually, I find it very interesting that Shahid and Kareena met at IIFA, and now everyone is talking to me about Jab We Met,” Ali said.
No Plans for a Reunion Film
Ali made it clear that he is not planning a film with Shahid and Kareena. While appreciating their talent, he emphasized that time has passed since the film’s release.
“Shahid has said that he thinks I have moved on, but I believe everyone has moved on. It has been a long time since Jab We Met,” he added.
Why a Sequel Might Not Happen
Ali strongly suggested that a sequel could take away from the original film’s charm. He believes that certain films should be cherished for what they are rather than extended unnecessarily.
“I think we should savor the memory of Jab We Met instead of trying to create a sequel,” he concluded.
A Timeless Classic
Jab We Met, released in 2007, remains one of Bollywood’s most beloved rom-coms. The film was a commercial and critical success, with its dialogues, songs, and characters continuing to be adored by audiences. However, soon after the film’s release, Shahid and Kareena ended their real-life relationship, making a future collaboration even more unlikely.
Fans Remain Hopeful
Despite Ali’s statement, fans continue to hope for a Shahid-Kareena reunion on screen. Whether in a Jab We Met sequel or a completely new film, their chemistry remains unforgettable. For now, it seems that the classic love story of Aditya and Geet will remain untouched.
