During the interview, Kareena talked about two of her most iconic roles- Poo from Kabhie Khushi Kabhie Ghum and Geet from Jab We Met. She said, “Poo and Geet were so lovable. That's why people believed that's me because she was as true as anyone. Poo was so confident even while walking with two different shoes… saying that it was couture! Geet was also someone who loved herself, loved life… who didn't think that if I run away what would happen. In some way I am a little bit like that because I have also done what I want, in my life. People like to see that connectivity… People were like, ‘Don’t get married! Your career will be over!' I was like, ‘Okay if my career is over so be it!’ I have worked more after marriage! After having children! So I think it is about taking up the challenge, believing in yourself and going against the tide.”
