Former beaus Shahid Kapoor and Kareena Kapoor made headlines when they made a public appearance together for the trailer launch of their upcoming movie, Udta Punjab.

"We were there as a team of four to promote Udta Punjab. I wanted the movie to be represented well. That is why we made sure we are standing in a way that the press will not click pics that they want to click, which are controversial and put out something wrong out there. We wanted to be correct about the representation of the film," Hindustan Times reports Shahid as saying.
When Shahid was asked if the former couple felt uneasy in each other's company, he replied, "Firstly, how do you decide that we were awkward? Were we staring at each other? If Kareena and I had pictures together, then people would write only about that and talk only about that," reports Hindustan Times.
