Who says exes can't be friends? While that doesn't usually happen in Bollywood, many celebs who once grabbed headlines for their relationships and later parted ways are now happily married to different people. The Pinkvilla Screen & Style Icons Awards 2026 saw who's who from the Bollywood and TV industry, amping up the glam quotient. However, all eyes were on popular ex-couple Akshay Kumar and Shilpa Shetty.

At the awards night, Shilpa and Akshay were seen sitting beside each other, busy chit-chatting. In viral clips, the two were caught giggling, laughing, and whispering to each other. At one point, in a friendly banter, they even held hands. Gulshan Grover was seated next to Akshay.

Netizens had a field day, wondering how exes could be so cordial. Many recalled how they could never be friends like this with their ex. Others said it's a sign of maturity to move on without any bad blood.

One user wrote, "How can they be so comfortable with their ex-girlfriend and boyfriend?"

Another commented, "I guess it's a sign of maturity..."

Akshay-Shilpa reunite after 30 long years and fans can't keep calm!

Some even expressed their wish to see the duo in a film together.

This isn't the first time Akshay and Shilpa have been seen sharing a warm moment. Last year, at the 15th edition of HT India's Most Stylish Awards 2025, Shilpa Shetty Kundra and Akshay Kumar performed a dance number and twinned in white ensembles.

Even after 30–31 years, Akshay and Shilpa continue to flutter hearts and light up the screen whenever they are together. This reunion has once again manifested that charm, and now fans want to see them on the silver screen soon.
