Since the earth has a round surface and the continent are moving still little as it may be eventually will the continent hit? I know that they are maving apart from each other but since the earth is round they should possibly hit again.

Yes! But they won't 'bump' so that you would be able to feel it or even notice.
The drift is VERY slow, but yes the continents have, do and will continue to collide due to continental drift.
Believe it or not, long ago India used to be a separate land mass from Asia, and even LONGER before that it used to be connected to Madagascar, the east cost of Africa and Antarctica!
But now due to continental drift, India (the Indian plate) is connected to Asia (the Eurasian plate).
Another thing that's cool, is that the Himalayan mountains north of India were created because the edges of the two continental plates are being 'squished' together, and Mount Everest (which has the highest mountain top in the world) is part of that mountain range.
