K3G fan Kareena Kapoor never imagined Poo would become so famous: She only follows KJo
Kareena Kapoor Khan recalled her iconic role as Poo in Kabhi Khushi Kabhie Gham and said that she never expected it to become so popular. She also talked about the song in Jab We Met.
Actress Kareena Kapoor Khan shared her thoughts about the enduring appeal of her iconic characters like Poo (Kabhi Khushi Kabhie Gham) and Geet (Jab We Met) and her love for cinema. When asked about the sheer volume of her work, Kareena said, “After a point, you forget to count your films.”
One film that holds a special place in her heart is Karan Johar’s 2001 film Kabhi Khushi Kabhie Gham. Speaking at a PVR event in Mumbai, she said, “I am a fan of that film because I like the idea of family, tradition and the warmth it has. That’s why I love the film.”
The discussion then turned to her memorable characters, Poo from Kabhi Khushi Kabhie Gham and Geet from Jab We Met, both of which have become cultural touchstones over the years.

Talking about Poo, Kareena said, “When we were doing Poo, I was just following Karan’s instructions. I knew it was a really fun character, but no one really thought that even after 25 years you would have characters who are like her. It was never the intention. It just happened.”
Kareena also shared her experience of filming ‘Jab We Met’ and how the film unexpectedly turned out to be better than ‘Tashan’, which she was shooting at the same time.
“I was simultaneously shooting for Tashan, which had big names like Akshay Kumar, Anil Kapoor and Saif Ali Khan. I thought Tashan would be an amazing film; I was concentrating on my body for it, thinking it would be my action film. But when Jab We Met released, people liked it more than Tashan.”
Smiling, he concluded, “So, there was no real plan. The magic just happens.”
Kareena was recently seen in Hansal Mehta’s film The Buckingham Murders. Chef Ranveer Brar is also in this film. This film was released in theaters on 13 September.
