During a recent interview with Connect FM Canada, Imtiaz Ali was asked to choose the better film between Jab We Met and Cocktail (Imtiaz wrote the film). Answering the question, he picked Jab We Met. When he was further asked to choose better performer between Kareena Kapoor Khan in Jab We Met and Deepika Padukone in Cocktail, the filmmaker said, "Very tough but let me say Kareena because I was the director."

Interestingly, Kareena's character Geet in Jab We Met became iconic after its release, and till now it's adored by millions of people. Last year, during an interview with Mid-Day, Kareena talked about JWM and said that when she signed the film she thought it would be just another film of her career while she had huge expectations from Tashan which had Akshay Kumar and Saif Ali Khan also. However, upon release, the results were the opposite. While Tashan didn't do well, Jab We Met went on to become a big hit and the character of Geet became a rage.
