If there is one movie which goes down in history as one of the most romantic movies of the 21st century, it is Imtiaz Ali's Jab We Met. From Ratlam's galiyan to sarson ke khet, the movie starring Shahid Kapoor and Kareena Kapoor Khan traced the adventurous journey of Geet Dhillon and Aditya Kashyap. As unbelievable as it sounds, Jab We Met today completes 10 years.

Given that Jab We Met has been one of the most career-defining roles for Shahid, PINKVILLA got in touch with the handsome actor.

When we asked him regarding his best memory from the film, Shahid said, "Jab We Met in itself is one my best memories. It was a special film. Shooting in the interiors of the country with literally no planning was the best part. Even the music used to come literally one day before. So it was mad but very exciting."

Imtiaz in an interview with PINKVILLA reiterated that Shahid was more confident about the movie than anybody else. When we asked Shahid, what made him so confident and was he happy with the response the film garnered, the actor said, "The minute I heard the script I felt very strongly that it’s a special film. And the day I started working under Imtiaz as a director I knew he is a special filmmaker. I think the film has done way beyond what we all imagined. It has become a part of the audience in a way that is very rare. We were all lucky to be a part of it and it will always be a very cherished memory."
