When Kareena Kapoor Khan came in support of Shahid Kapoor
When asked at the trailer launch of Udta Punjab if they are disappointed about not having any scenes together in the film, Kareena Kapoor interrupted and said, "DVD of 'Jab We Met' is always available". When asked further that does this mean they won't be seen together ever in future, Kareena Kapoor said, "That Imtiaz Ali will say na, Shahid". The latter also added that, "If it was to happen then it would have happened earlier. I think Imtiaz Ali has moved on".

The movie completed 13 years of its release on October 26, 2007.

While attempting to get him back on the train, both are left stranded in the middle of nowhere and their journey begins.
