Imtiaz Ali’s directorial journey feels incomplete without Jab We Met, with Shahid Kapoor’s portrayal of Aditya Kashyap leaving a lasting impact. As a quiet, introspective man grappling with life’s lows, Aditya’s story beautifully unfolds after he meets the spirited Geet, played by Kareena Kapoor Khan.
