Rashmika Mandanna, Shahid Kapoor and Kriti Sanon are gearing up for Homi Adajania’s Cocktail 2, which releases in theatres on June 19, 2026. At the trailer launch, all three leads spoke about their ‘pehla pyaar‘ (first love).

- When Kriti Sanon further asked if she still remembers her first love, Rashmika said, “Why? I’m very happy here, now, (in the) present.”
- Kriti Sanon also shared her views on first love as she replied to Shahid Kapoor, “Jab hota hai shayad pyaar hai, phir lagta hai shayad nahi tha. (When it happens, it feels like love, and then later on it doesn’t). It happens.”
- Shahid Kapoor added, “I don’t think sab ko yaad rehta hai (I don’t think everyone remembers). What matters is your aakhri pyaar. Pehla pyaar toh pata bhi nahi hota kya hota hai. (You don’t even know what love is at first). But love is when you can settle and you know you can be with someone forever, accept them for however they are.”
