Bollywood stars Kriti Sanon and Shahid Kapoor lit up social media with a fun in-flight selfie on Thursday, just a day after Shahid’s 45th birthday bash. The photo shows the two actors smiling big inside a plane, sparking wild buzz about their next project, Cocktail 2.
Kriti posted the candid snap on Instagram, wishing Shahid a happy birthday with a cheeky caption: “Happy Birthday Shahid! Sending you a big hug! May this year be filled with happiness, good music, and a cocktail of fun memories.” Fans went crazy over the word “cocktail,” seeing it as a big hint for the sequel to the 2012 hit Cocktail, which starred Saif Ali Khan, Deepika Padukone, and Diana Penty.
The duo first stole hearts in 2024’s sci-fi rom-com Teri Baaton Mein Aisa Uljha Jiya, where their fresh chemistry won praise. Now, with Cocktail 2 in the works, also starring Rashmika Mandanna, excitement is at fever pitch. Reports say shooting has begun, and this selfie feels like free promo gold.
Social media exploded with comments like “Cocktail 2 loading!” and heart emojis. One fan wrote, “Pure magic incoming!” Shahid’s wife Mira Rajput also joined the fun, calling him “the best” in her tribute.
This is not their first flight pic, back in 2022, they shared similar snaps before teaming up. But this birthday drop hits different, blending friendship and film hype. As Bollywood eyes more sequels, Kriti and Shahid prove star power sells itself.
