It's not very often that the release of a film clashes with the real life break up of its stars. In the case of Imtiyaz Ali's Jab We Met, actors Shaahid Kapoor and Kareena Kapoor's off screen sob story translated into a bewildering success story. Although it was Kareena who walked away with all the awards this year for her portrayal of 'Geet', Shaahid is now no less than a star. And those who sympathised with Shaahid after his split from Kareena are now wishing they could switch places with him. Shaahid's been linked to a string of beauties from Bollywood and outside, and the effect, is that his paycheque is now a beauty too! If the buzz in industry circles is anything to go by, Shaahid's signing amount has increased tenfold. Before JWM, Shaahid reportedly got a crore for each of his films, but now he's being offered Rs 10 crore. The reason Shaahid is so upbeat these days is not just his Kismat Konnection co-star Vidya Balan's company then. Professionally too, Shaahid's going places. With a Kismat like that, who wouldn't?
