The two had (Kismet) connected on the set of their 2008 romantic comedy but then drifted apart. Kapoor didn''t waste much of time after the break up with Balan. He hooked up first with Sania Mirza and then Priyanka Chopra, but remained decidedly unlucky in love.
Balan, on the other hand, sort of retreated into herself and focused on her career, or lack of it.
It is being speculated that Kapoor blundered back into his relationship with Balan after receiving a congratulatory text , signed by a VB, for his performance in Kaminey. Kapoor assumed the text was from Balan and excitedly called her back, using Balan''s mobile number that he still had in his phone, not the number from which the message had come.
The message was actually from helmer Vishal Bhardwaj, so it was a very surprised Balan who answered Shahid''s call. The rest is history future.
Maybe, there is more to the story than is being speculated! To us the speculation doesn''t appear wild enough for tabloid journalism, so we are thinking some of Shahid''s excitement must have stemmed from the Balan''s on screen kissing in her new film Ishqiya.
It is hard to see your former flame being kissed by another man, even harder when that man is non hero type bloke like Arshad Warsi!
