9 years later, Kareena Kapoor reveals how her look from 'Jab We Met' fell in place!
Kareena gives credit to Manish Malhotra for Geet’s popularity from Jab We Met!
In 2007, with Geet’s role in Jab We Met, Bollywood witnessed Kareena Kapoor in a light like never before. While her role was critically acclaimed and the film equally loved, her look became an even bigger fashion statement and before you knew it, every girl on the street was wearing Patiala pants with a printed t-shirt!
And even if the character was written by Imtiaz Ali, Kareena swears by the fact that it was Manish Malhotra who actually brought the character to life!
In a candid conversation on COLORS Infinity’s new show Vogue BFFs, Kareena said, “When we did Jab We Met, you have to give Manish this credit and Imtiaz has to know this and he does know it, that the entire outfit was Manish’s idea! He told Imtiaz 'We should put a film print on her t-shirt. She should wear this t-shirt and Patiala and he suggested it!' He said, 'it will look amazing, Bebo' and he decided that he should put Mughal-e-Azam on the t-shirt! And it became a rage! So, if it wasn’t for Manish, we wouldn’t have had the Geet that we’ve all come to love so dearly today!”
