The man who was excited the most was the hunky lead of the show, Gurmeet Chaudhary, who plays the intense, brooding Yash Scindia.
But as the day of shoot neared, the mere thought of sharing screen space with the ravishing beauty who he has always admired, turned the usually easygoing and extroverted Gurmeet into a bundle of nerves.
His inhibitions, however, were put to rest within minutes of interacting with Kareena.
She put him at ease when she recognized him from their brief meeting at the preview of her previous film.
On realizing that the release of 'Heroine' coincides with Kareena's birthday on Sept 21, Gurmeet wished her in advance for a glorious opening and a fantastic birthday.
The two even waltzed a little for the media cameras, just for fun!
The show's lead actress, Kratika Sengar (Aarti), however wasn't able to shoot with the nation's 'Heroine' as she was required to shoot at a different location with Kareena's cousin, Ranbir Kapoor.
`Although I would have loved to shoot with Kareena, I am thrilled to bits having got an opportunity to work with the charming Ranbir Kapoor instead!` said Kratika.
`So while Gurmeet got to meet his dream girl, I was very happy to have had the 'dream boy' of millions of women all to myself! Ranbir 'Barfi' Kapoor was actually a dream to work with - a complete gentleman and sweeter than barfi!` she said.
