You know how the Grumpy X Sunshine trope is all the rage on Booktok right now? Well, for us, the original grumpy and sunshine would always be Aditya and Geet aka Shahid and Kareena Kapoor from Jab We Met. As the film clocks in 16 years after its release, here's diving deep into the ruckus the film created when it first dropped.

The king of love stories, Imtiaz Ali sure did know what he was doing when he gave India its beloved rom-com. A brooding multi-millionaire, a chirpy Punjabi kudi, the most heart-warming family, and a whole bunch of romance. We can totally see why the movie still plays in theatres on Valentine's Day.

But all the gushing aside, apart from raising our standards for men sky-high, the film also glamorized the mighty KURTI!

Geet's fashion in Jab We Met

Now we had all been wearing kurtis for a hot minute. But, when Geet ran away from home and danced around in her short yellow kurti and jeans, the look was immortalized as something akin to joy and freedom.

Back in 2007, the wedding season was full of guests showing up in a full patiyala salwar, all thanks to Geet's iconic look in Nagada Nagada.

Of course, how can we forget Mauja Hi Mauja where Kareena rocked a spaghetti top and those very iconic harem pants. In fact, the look was so memorable that her wax statute at Madame Tussauds was also unveiled wearing this ensemble.

To top it off, when Kareena walked out of the train wearing a t-shirt and salwar, suddenly the entire country made it its mission to turn it into the street style of the year.
