Shahid played Aditya Kashyap, a man so broken and withdrawn that he barely speaks while Geet takes over every scene. It is the role that people still connect with him the most from that chapter of his life, the one he keeps getting asked about, and the one he calls Imtiaz&#8217;s greatest work. Kareena played the unforgettable Geet Dhillon, a girl who was loud, a little scattered, full of life, and totally unapologetically herself.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"33\"\/><\/div>\n<p><br \/>\n<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/timesofindia.indiatimes.com\/entertainment\/hindi\/bollywood\/news\/imtiaz-ali-reveals-shahid-kapoor-and-kareena-kapoor-are-showing-jab-we-met-to-their-kids-but-mira-rajput-prefers-tamasha\/articleshow\/131260992.cms\">Source link <\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Imtiaz Ali shared that Shahid Kapoor and Kareena Kapoor are introducing their children to &#8216;Jab We Met&#8217;, delighting the director.
