thebalanced.newsShahid and Kareena Show 'Jab We Met' to Their Kids; Mira Rajput Prefers Other Imtiaz Ali Films
Nearly two decades after its release, the film Jab We Met remains significant as Shahid Kapoor and Kareena Kapoor independently choose to show it to their children. Director Imtiaz Ali expressed pleasure at this, noting the film's clean certification. However, Shahid's wife Mira Rajput prefers Ali's other works, particularly Rockstar and Tamasha, and once sang a song from these films for the director. The actors' personal lives and families have evolved since the film's 2007 release.
