Jab We Met, a timeless cult film, has found a place in our hearts and will be there for a very long time. It undoubtedly had an effect on us all—from memorizing every speech and scene to having every song stuck in our heads for the last ten years.

Shahid Kapoor and Kareena Kapoor Khan feature in Imtiaz Ali’s greatest work, which demonstrates how relationships may be founded on friendship and how endearing these characters are when matched up. It is a love story and one of Imtiaz Ali’s best-ever romantic comedies. Here are six things it has taught us about love and friendship.

1.Unexpectedly, you’ll meet your match.

Although it could be on the next train that you almost missed, love is not something that is waiting for you next door. Instead, it takes place with the kind of person you least anticipated marrying at the most inconvenient times. It may take some time to figure out what your heart truly desires, but you will know in a single second whether this is it.

2.Self-love comes first.

If this film has taught us anything, it is the value of loving oneself. The example set by Geet’s character has taught us that no matter what, you should always prioritize taking care of yourself first. The rest will take care of itself eventually when the moment is perfect. So make sure you are your own happiness by concentrating on yourself.

3.Listen to your heart.

This film demonstrates to us in the corniest and sentimental way possible that it is always preferable to follow your heart. Make decisions based on your true happiness and what your heart tells you to do. The finest results come from the sincere effort.

4.Life’s too brief to take anything seriously.

Enjoy the little things in life. Consider life as an enjoyable journey with a few little ups and downs. Enjoy yourself while you can because everything is just transitory. Also, try not to take life too seriously. Be proud of your life and make it your own jar of happiness.

5.The secret to moving forward is forgiveness.

The only way to go on and recover from past wrongs is to forgive those who may have mistreated you. A bad feeling cannot last a lifetime. Keeping hate in your heart and head can only lead to corruption. Move on to better things in life by letting go.

6.Love is an unruly thing.

The rules are meaningless when you’re in love. As long as no one is harmed and everything is done with good intentions, it is totally natural for people to take a few radical actions that are out of the ordinary and unconventional while they are in love.
