Shahid Kapoor pulls RashmikaMandanna’s leg over their old ‘cold vibes’ video

The actor recently laughed off the viral ‘awkward moment’ with RashmikaMandanna during Cocktail 2 promotions.

A few days ago, media portals posted a video showing how RashmikaMandanna apparently took a step back when aclip showed Shahid Kapoor placing his hand on her shoulder. This ordinary moment was termed as ‘cold vibes’ between the two actors. However, during recent promotions of Cocktail 2, Shahid was seen pulling Rashmika’s leg on the matter and laughing off the viral ‘awkward moment.’

Shahid Kapoor responds with humour on the matter.

Days later, however, Shahid Kapoor finally responded in the most Shahid Kapoor way possible: by making a joke out of it. During another promotional event for Cocktail 2, where co-stars RashmikaMandanna and KritiSanon were also present, Shahid playfully recreated the now-famous incident while posing for photographers. His light-hearted gesture immediately drew laughter from those present and appeared to catch Rashmika’s attention as well. Rather than looking uncomfortable, Rashmika was seen smiling and enjoying the joke.

Social media created its own narrative.

Celebrity interactions have increasingly become subject to intense scrutiny online. A glance, a gesture or a few seconds of footage can sometimes lead to elaborate theories about relationships, friendships or professional dynamics. The Shahid-Rashmika incident was a classic example of how internet users can interpret a brief moment in dramatically different ways. While some viewers sensed tension, others dismissed it as a harmless movement that had been blown out of proportion. Shahid’s decision to address the situation with humour rather than a formal clarification helped diffuse the conversation instantly.

Following the film’s release, Shahid Kapoor is expected to return with the much-anticipated second season of his hit web series Farzi. RashmikaMandanna, meanwhile, continues to have an exciting lineup, including potential returns in major franchise films such as Pushpa 3 and Animal Park. As for KritiSanon, fans are eagerly awaiting announcements about her upcoming projects.
