Kareena shot for Tashan and Jab We Met simultaneously

Kareena shot for both the movies around 2006-2007. At the start of it, she was in a relationship with her Jab We Met co-star Shahid Kapoor. But during the course of the movie, the two parted ways, and Kareena started dating Saif after they got close on Tashan sets. In the old interview, she shared, “I was shooting for Tashan and giving Jab We Met, kind of treatment like ‘listen, I’m working in a YRF film, I’m playing the main part, I’ve become size zero, I’m going to wear a bikini and I’m going to kill it!’ That was my vibe when I got on the set of Jab We Met. It was like my main passion project that’s going to be like Kill Bill and I’ll become like Uma Thurman… I though this (Jab We Met) I’m just shooting. I’m just coming, mouthing those lines and having fun.”

Both the movies changed Kareena's life and career

According to Kareena, both the movies not just changed her professional, but also personal life. She said after the two movies, destiny had its own plans and life took its course. "A lot happened in the making of these two films and we all went our separate ways, and this beauty of a film (Jab We Met) came out of it. And on the way, I met Saif. I thought Tashan would change my life. But actually Jab We Met changed my career and Tashan changed my life, because I met the man of my dreams and I did marry him," she shared.

Destiny played its role in the life of Kareena

Though Tashan‘s failure left a deep impact on Kareena, she took it in her stride. “When Tashan bombed and Jab We Met became what it became, I was shattered, depressed for six months. I couldn’t believe this had happened. Then I chalked it out and put it in my head that this is the way it was meant to be.”

Kareena and Saif got into a steady relationship post Tashan. After dating for several years, they tied the knot on October 16, 2012.
