Imtiaz Ali has been a driving force behind some of Bollywood's most iconic romances, from Jab We Met to Main Vaapas Aaunga. But the filmmaker reveals that he doesn't claim to have any knowledge of love, and his movies are more about human connection than romance.

In his latest film, Main Vaapas Aaunga, Ali explores the theme of love through the eyes of partition veterans, who found solace in the love in their hearts during the tumultuous period. He praises his lead pair, Vedang Raina and Sharvari, for bringing authenticity and innocence to the story.

Ali also raves about veteran actor Naseeruddin Shah, who brought depth to the story with his exceptional performance. The filmmaker believes that Shah's ability to tap into his own memories and emotions made his portrayal all the more believable.
