DYK: Kareena Kapoor took on the function of Geet in Jab We Met at ex-beau Shahid Kapoor’s behest?

Nonetheless, do you know that taking over the function of Geet within the movie, wasn’t an unbiased choice on Kareena’s half? As a matter of reality, it was Shahid who satisfied her to not go it up, even though director Imtiaz Ali, was very recent on the scene on the time, with a somewhat lean physique of labor (here is to 2005 launch Socha Na Tha) as in comparison with his legacy now.

Throughout an interview with Mid-Day late final 12 months, Kareena stated, “Imtiaz got here out of the blue, and it so occurred. He approached Shahid, and Shahid advised me, ‘Hey, pay attention, you realize, he’s going to strategy you for this function, and it’s nice.’ And I used to be like, yeah, I’ll work. I’ll do that film. I by no means knew that it will be this iconic”.

Circling to Geet and Aditya’s grim future, throughout an interview with The Indian Specific, Shahid agreed with Imtiaz’s earlier remarks concerning the eternally-loved on-screen couple, as per which they had been extra seemingly than to not find yourself in a ‘divorce lawyer’s workplace’. He stated, “That is truly a enjoyable concept that Geet and Aditya are actually breaking apart as a result of they’re annoyed with one another. Aditya is like, ‘She is her personal favorite, who can ever put up along with her?’ “. Gauging how the viewers wasn’t precisely thrilled with this take, Shahid went on to make clear, “If our filmmaker thinks these two will divorce one another, then who am I to come back in between? I’m simply an actor”.

Coming again to the throwback revelation, whereas after all it was Kareena who breathed life into the infectiously lovable character of Geet — primarily to the purpose of creating her immortal — it looks as if the true duo to thank are Shahid and Imtiaz.
