Partnership facts

• Jackie Shroff was the one who suggested Kareena Kapoor for the lead in 'Yaadein' (2001). He had just worked with her in 'Refugee' and told director Subhash Ghai she had the 'fire' for the role. Ghai initially wanted a bigger name.
• In 'Kyon Ki' (2005), Jackie played a mute patient and Kareena played his doctor. He told her to never look at his face during their scenes together — he wanted her to react only to his eyes and body language. She later said it was the most 'terrifying and thrilling' acting exercise she ever did.
• Their pairing in 'Refugee' (2000) directly launched the career of director J.P. Dutta's daughter — it was her debut film. But more importantly, the film's intense border-crossing romance set the template for every 'cross-LoC love story' that followed in Bollywood, including 'Veer-Zaara' (2004).
• Jackie Shroff calls Kareena 'Bebo' in real life — but he's the only co-star she lets call her that without permission. She said in a 2015 chat show that Jackie 'adopted' her on the set of 'Hulchul' (1995) when she was just 15 and a nervous newcomer. He made her chai every morning.
• 'Jackie sir is the only man who can make me feel like a little girl on set. He once stopped a shot in 'Brothers' because he saw my shoelace was untied and bent down to tie it himself. That's him.' — Kareena Kapoor, 2015, on the sets of 'Brothers'.
