Geet was in love with Anshuman, but he let her down badly. That was her reality. But Aditya was the person who loved her without expecting anything in return. He loved her so much that he always did what was best for her, without thinking about himself.
He was selfless in his love. He epitomized love at its purest essence. And to me, that's what Jab We met is all about.
People equate Jab We Met with Geet. Yes, she was loud and bubbly. That might capture attention easily.
But the movie is so much, much more. The movie is about how a boy loved a girl so much, he saved her in every possible way there is to save a person. Pure love.
It's Imitiaz Ali's best movie because here he got the concept of love right.
In his other movies, he is not able to stitch together the character growth arcs as skilfully as he was able to here. Here, he showed how love can transform, and the redemptive power of love.
