Abhishek Bachchan and Kareena Kapoor Khan made their acting debuts together in the 2000 film 'Refugee', directed by JP Dutta, which was a notable success despite its mixed box office performance. During the filming, Kareena expressed discomfort with romantic scenes, viewing Abhishek as a brother due to his prior engagement to her sister, Karisma Kapoor. In a reflection on their experience, Abhishek humorously stated on Simi Garewal's show that he would 'never forgive' Kareena for making him feel awkward in their first romantic scene. Kareena later affirmed her special bond with Abhishek, stating he holds a unique place in her heart. Their relationship dynamics shifted after Abhishek's engagement with Karisma ended, leading to a decline in their onscreen collaborations. Fans continue to hope for a reunion between the pair, marking the legacy of 'Refugee', which celebrated its 24th anniversary this year.
