The way I want Mowgli and Shanti to meet in the sequel of the 2016 remake:

One sunny afternoon, Baloo and Mowgli were taking a nap under a tree when they were suddenly awakened by beautiful singing echoing through the jungle. They decided to check it out and challenged each other into a race to the source of the sound. When they found where the singing was coming from, it was none other than a girl named Shanti who was fetching water in two jugs and looking at herself in her water reflection. Mowgli felt something he never felt before so was smitten. Mowgli got in closer to get a better look, but Baloo pulled him away for he was worried and nervous that Mowgli seemed interested in the girl. Baloo and Mowgli had a quiet argument until Mowgli slipped and fell into the water where Shanti was fetching the water. Shanti was startled, she saw Mowgli and she spoke to him gently, asking him who he was, if was all right and if he was lost. But Mowgli frightfully ran off with Baloo close behind. Shanti followed.

When they arrived back in the jungle, Mowgli and Baloo climbed up a tree in hid within the branches. Shanti tried to call Mowgli out and told him not to be afraid, she didnt mean to scare him and she tried to be friendly, but try as she might, Mowgli wouldnt show up nor he wouldnt even talk. Dissapointed, Shanti walked away. Mowgli felt pity for her. He climbed down the tree and said "Hi, My name is Mowgli". Shanti turned around and smiled warmly. Baloo came out of the tree too and met the girl too. Shanti was surprised to realize that Mowgli had been raised by a bear (even though the wolves raised Mowgli but Baloo was more of a father to Mowgli than Akela was). But she wasn't afraid of him like she was in the 2003 Jungle Book 2. And that's how it could be the possible meeting of Mowgli and Shanti.

And about being jealous of Shanti, Baloo was the only one jealous of her. Bagheera, the wolf pack and Raksha ships them.
