In 2007, Kareena Kapoor Khan reinvented herself as an actor and found a new lease of life after the thunderous success of her film, Jab We Met. Her feisty character Geet was a role for the ages and Jab We Met is arguably the most refreshing romances of the last two decades. It was also a game-changer for its helmer Imtiaz Ali.
And as the film completed 13 years on October 26, the filmmaker spoke to Bombay Times about the cult and how he never knew the conflicts of Geet would also dawn upon the actress who played it. He said, "When I started to write Geet Dhillon (Kareena Kapoor's character in Jab We Met), I didn't know that she'll face these problems in life, but she does. That makes it look real. For anybody to be complete, there ought to be various sides to them."
