Aditya is like, ‘She is her favourite, who can ever put up with her?’” He iterated that he did not want to disappoint his fans. However, he would like to go by what the director has to say. “If our filmmaker thinks these two will divorce each other, then who am I to come in between? I am just an actor.”

Shahid is the Vibe!”.  Another compared his ‘Jab We Met’ Character to his role in ‘Kabir Singh.’ “He’s more Kabir Singh than Aditya IRL.” Another added, “Wow! It’s so sad that he actually said that. Kareena dodged a bullet and got her nawab. Jokes on Shahid.”

Meanwhile, one user wrote, “Geet, in real life, understood that Aditya was not that rich as he was in the movie, she would not be able to compromise her desires as she loves herself more. Saif was perfect for her look-wise, family-wise and money-wise, so she is intelligent else her life would be pissed off with Aditya.”
