Internet wonders why Priyanka is hanging out with Ishaan

Reacting to the post, a fan asked, “Is that Ishaan Khatter with Priyanka in a photo?” A person asked, “Why is Shahid Kapoor's brother Ishaan Khatter with Priyanka in New York?” A comment read, “What is Priyanka doing meeting her ex-boyfriend Shahid Kapoor 's brother Shahid Kapoor?”

About Priyanka and Shahid

Priyanka reportedly dated Shahid Kapoor for two years after he was in a relationship with actor Kareena Kapoor for five years. A few years ago, Priyanka and Kareena were guests on Koffee With Karan season 6. When Karan asked them about the ex-boyfriend they had in common, Priyanka said that it never came in the way of her equation with Kareena. “Actually, that was not a point of contention. It was the only point of commonality,” she had said.

However, she changed tack when Karan revealed that he was talking about Shahid. When Priyanka feigned ignorance, Karan asked, “Oh, are we still denying it?” Kareena chimed in, “Well, you can tell us now.” Priyanka said, “I’m not denying or accepting.” Priyanka and Shahid starred together in the films Kaminey and Teri Meri Kahaani. When rumours about their alleged romance emerged, neither officially confirmed their relationship.

About Priyanka and Shahid's families

Priyanka got married to Nick in 2018 in Rajasthan. They had a traditional Christian wedding followed by a Hindu ceremony. They welcomed daughter Malti through surrogacy in January 2022. Shahid tied the knot with Mira Rajput on July 7, 2015, in an intimate wedding ceremony in Delhi. They have two children--daughter Misha Kapoor and son Zain Kapoor.
