Kareena Kapoor Khan and Shahid Kapoor’s film Jab We Met became a huge hit when it was released, praised by fans and critics alike. It went on to become a cult favourite film among fans of the romantic comedy genre.
Imtiaz shared what he would change if he made Jab We Met today. Talking about the famous scene where Kareena’s character insults her ex, he said on Game Changers YouTube series, “Gaaliyan thodi tez ho sakti thi. Abuses would have been sharper. I would love to see Geet go and say really dirty gaalis. Aur mazza aata. Ekdum hi gandi wali baatein hoti hain na, unexpected. Aur agar aisa hota ki Shahid ka character Aditya, wo bhi shock ho jata ki yar ye toh mujhe bhi nahi aati itni gandi gaaliyan. Ye toh bahut hi low level hai. Toh aur mazza aata (I would have loved to see Geet say really dirty abuses. It would have been more fun. The kind of really bad things that are unexpected. And if Shahid’s character Aditya had been shocked, thinking ‘I don’t even know such filthy abuses,’ it would have been on a very low level. It would have been even more fun)."
