Shahid Kapoor Agrees: Aditya And Geet From 'Jab We Met' Would Be At A Divorce Lawyer's Office Today

Shahid Kapoor recently agreed with Imtiaz Ali’s assessment that Aditya and Geet, the beloved characters from the cult film Jab We Met, would likely be sitting in a divorce lawyer’s office if the story were set in today’s time. This comes after Imtiaz, the film’s director, jokingly said that the pair might be facing tough times in their relationship.

The 2007 romantic comedy, which has remained a fan favorite over the years, was a lighthearted portrayal of love and personal growth. Aditya, played by Shahid Kapoor, and Geet, portrayed by Kareena Kapoor, had an unconventional love story that made their bond relatable and heartwarming for many. However, according to Imtiaz Ali, the relationship might not have aged so well. He believes that in the current day, the couple would be struggling and possibly even on the brink of separation.

Shahid, who starred as Aditya in the film, seems to agree with the director’s view. In a recent interview, he said, “That’s actually a fun idea that Geet and Aditya are now breaking up because they are frustrated with each other.” Shahid humorously added that Aditya would be exasperated with Geet, joking, “Aditya is like, ‘She is her own favourite, who can ever put up with her?’”

For fans of the movie, this idea may come as a shock. The film’s ending left many thinking that Aditya and Geet would live happily ever after. However, Shahid’s comments paint a more realistic picture of the ups and downs that could come with long-term relationships.

Despite agreeing with the idea, Shahid was quick to clarify that he’s just following the vision of the director. He said, “If our filmmaker thinks these two will divorce each other, then who am I to come in between? I am just an actor.” It’s clear that while Shahid doesn’t necessarily agree with the idea of an unhappy ending, he respects the direction that Imtiaz Ali sees the characters heading in today’s world.

Interestingly, Jab We Met was released during a time when Shahid Kapoor and Kareena Kapoor were in a high-profile relationship. The pair had been together for several years before their breakup, and their on-screen chemistry in the movie only added to the romance. However, their off-screen breakup led to much speculation about their personal lives and the way it might have influenced their performances. Kareena later moved on with Saif Ali Khan, and the two are now married.

In recent years, Jab We Met has enjoyed a resurgence, especially after it was re-released in theaters. Fans flocked to watch the film again, showing just how much the love story between Aditya and Geet still resonates with audiences. The movie’s themes of personal growth, finding love, and overcoming life’s challenges continue to strike a chord with viewers of all ages. Even though the characters are now viewed through the lens of time, the movie still holds a special place in people’s hearts.

While the idea of Aditya and Geet facing a divorce may sound far from the romantic charm the movie initially offered, it adds an interesting twist. Life has a way of changing relationships, and it’s not hard to imagine the characters evolving differently in today’s world. Maybe they’d face the same challenges many modern couples do—learning to balance individuality and partnership. After all, Geet was always the free spirit, and Aditya, though initially reserved, was swept up in her whirlwind.

So, what’s next for fans of Jab We Met? While Shahid and Imtiaz Ali’s idea may offer an unexpected spin on the iconic duo’s future, one thing’s for sure—Aditya and Geet will always hold a special place in the hearts of those who fell in love with them on screen. But whether they’d make it through the ups and downs of modern-day relationships is anyone’s guess. For now, the charm of the original remains, and fans are still watching, laughing, and perhaps, reflecting on what could have been
