He revealed, 'They broke up at the) end of the film. Most of the film was shot. There were two days after their so-called break-up that we had to shoot. They were absolutely professional. No blemish, nothing at all, whatever is happening in their personal lives. That time Shahid and Kareena were not doing supremely well.'
The filmmaker added, 'But these ups and downs keep happening in the lives of filmmakers and actors. But as filmmakers we don't have to speculate like stock market, judge what we think is right for a particular part and only that works. This is the learning of my life."
