It's been a long time since you've been hearing candy coated remarks like, "Oh... she is wonderful" or "Oh... he is a sweetheart too" from these young lovebirds Kareena and Shahid.

But that was last year. From her clichéd "we are good friends" to her own admission that Shahid is "special, very special", Bebo has come a long way. She has no qualms anymore in accepting that she loves Shahid's company.

As soon as you hurl the big question of two getting together in future and she says, "Who knows! Shahid is a special friend, a very special indeed and we should leave it at that. "

As much as we want this picture perfect couple to get together, Bebo feels it's too early to make some commitment.

"Though he's 23 he has the maturity of a 35-year-old. His wonderful smile lights up the screen completely. But beyond the smile, he has super-talent. I don't know what tomorrow holds for us. If I commit to a relationship with him, I want to nurture it," says Bebo.

Odd working hours and the hectic shooting schedules had been keeping Shahid away form his newfound friend for quite a long time now. But not anymore, the young man has finally found a novel way, ala Kareena, to beat his lonely blues.

Out goes his own secretary Gautam and in his place has now comes Zahid, who is also the secretary of Kareena Kapoor. What a fantastic idea!

Hope now the two won't be having any 'date' problems.
