Meanwhile, Kareena Kapoor features in the role of the fun-loving girl Tina Kapoor. She was initially reluctant to star in the film because she would play the film's second female lead after Mukerji. However, according to "The Times of India", Kohli and Yash Chopra convinced her to accept it. She found the role to be "very glamorous, typical of what people would expect of me", and believed that her fans, especially male, would like it. She noted, "I play a loser, yet emerge the winner. This is not a goody-goody heroine who gets the hero. My role has better scope. I am the life of the film. The other characters are sad most of the time." To prepare for her introductory scene, the actress did not eat for three or four days (this was inconsistently reported) as she wanted to "look great as it involved exposing my midriff". Moreover, Kareena Kapoor confessed that her looks were the main priority.
