In the latest episode of the ‘Beer Biceps’ podcast, Bollywood sensation Kareena Kapoor Khan has opened up about the enduring appeal of her character Geet from the film ‘Jab We Met’, attributing its influence to Geet’s confidence and lovability. The actress, whose star continues to ascend with her recent hit ‘Crew’, engaged in a candid chat about acting, inspiration, and the impacts of one of her most beloved roles to date.
Kareena Kapoor Khan is no stranger to cinematic success, but it’s her role as the vivacious and irrepressible Geet in the romantic comedy ‘Jab We Met’ that has earned a permanent place in the hearts of audiences. The film, a blend of hearty laughs, drama, and romance, spawned lines and scenes that have since become iconic, and Khan’s portrayal of Geet is widely regarded as a landmark in her career.
During her conversation on the podcast, Khan shared insights into her character’s confidence, a trait she believes has deeply resonated with fans. She revealed, “Geet is lovable but also has a certain level of confidence. She thought, ‘I’ll run away, I’ll get married to that guy’, that’s the level of confidence. And I guess that is in me as well.” Khan’s connection with her character suggests a parallel between the actress’s own self-assurance and the self-assured nature of Geet.
Khan also considered how Geet’s character reflects emotional thinking, a sentiment that she feels is increasingly rare. “She thought from her heart, and in current times people have started thinking through their minds more and have cut down on thinking through the heart.” This observation pinpoints Geet’s intrinsic appeal; her willingness to follow her heart is both a defining trait and an aspiration for many.
The impact of ‘Jab We Met’ is felt even years after its release, as evidenced by the continual praise and messages Khan receives from fans who have found joy and inspiration in the film. “People have recited the whole film like a book,” says Khan. “They were saying the dialogues one after the other not just mine but also of Shahid’s and other characters as well. Very few films in a person’s career have that impact.” Such deep engagement from viewers highlights how the film has transcended merely being entertainment, serving as a cultural touchstone for many.
The release of ‘Crew’, which features an ensemble cast including Kriti Sanon, Tabu, Diljit Dosanjh, and Kapil Sharma, marks another success for Khan. The film has garnered a positive reception, further cementing her status as one of Bollywood’s preeminent performers.
Jab We Met, upon its re-release, has reiterated its status not just as a film, but as a phenomenon. It is a testament to the power of storytelling that connects with the audience at an elemental level. Through Geet, Kareena Kapoor Khan has offered a character that encapsulates the spirit of unabashed confidence and heart-driven decision-making. It’s these attributes that continue to inspire viewers, serving as a reminder of the potential within us all to lead with conviction and love.
