Interestingly, Shahid’s kids saw his film Jab We Met and were left shocked. He revealed how his son Zain reacted, “So for the longest time, Mira would ask me, ‘What movie of yours should I show the kids?’ And I would be like, ‘Not a single one.’ Some are not good and the ones that are good are not meant for kids. So the first film they saw of mine and they actually went to the theatre was Jab We Met.”

He added, “Mira and my mom made this plan that finally there is this one film that we can show the kids. They went and watched Jab We Met in the theatre. My son came back and he looked at me and said, ‘Papa, that is how you look without a beard?”

Shahid revealed why he did th efilm despite Kareena having a stronger part. He said,. “When I heard the script, I completely loved it. I didn’t have the strongest part. I knew the female part was the strongest part in the film, still, I wanted to be a part of the film.”

Shahid concluded, “I felt it was a very relevant, new age love story where people were speaking like how normal people in their 20s speak, and not how people in their 40s acting to be 20s in movies speak. Imtiaz came up with something which was very real and relatable. I thoroughly enjoyed it and wanted the film to be in my filmography.”
