A throwback clip of Karan Johar's talk show Koffee with Karan has once again fueled rumors of a sequel to the blockbuster Bollywood film Jab We Met, as Alia Bhatt and Kareena Kapoor Khan weigh in on who would be suitable to reprise the role of the iconic Geet in a sequel. The clip, which went viral on the internet in June 2025, sees Alia humorously asking why she was not included on the list of actresses who would be appropriate to play Geet in a sequel, and then responding, "Okay fine. I'd love to." Kareena, however, set the record straight with a resolute, "I don't think Geet can be done again," reflecting the sentiments of many fans who believe her portrayal of Geet cannot be remade.
