Set in a metro with a coming of the age subplot, Imtiaz Ali, has managed to swoon our hearts through his all heart cinema. His stories are not for everyone but if you connect to it, you will come back becoming one of his characters. Be it Aditya, Geet or Jordan, Imtiaz's cinema will make you fall in love irrevocably.

However, it is Ved [Ranbir Kapoor] and Tara [Deepika Padukone] from Tamasha which continues to stay with cinemagoers even today.

Recently, when we got in touch with Imtiaz, we asked him to decode one particular scene from the movie, Tamasha, which continues to give a chill down our spine everytime we watch it. The scene in question is the conversation between Ved and Tara in Delhi Social just before Tum Saath Ho plays.

Decoding it for us, Imtiaz says, "I am so glad you point this one out. See, for one thing, it really helped that I had the best actors in the country playing that part. The way Ranbir has played Ved is beyond words."

Explaining the scene, he continues, "I think he [Ved] is mocking her [Tara], himself. It is the best reminiscence of the state of mind he is in. She can feel that he needs help really and he knows she understands. It's like, you know there are people who understand each other so well that it becomes frustrating that a person feels naked and that is something he doesn't want that, he doesn't want sympathy."

"Sometimes, we don't know the psychological reason why we do things certain things but we do it anyway and this was the reason why the scene was like that. And the other reason was that I think in metropolitan cities if I have a fight with a girlfriend, he/she won't be able to take a metro, reach home and cry after 2 hours. A lot of the fact this conversation happened in a public place makes the scene somehow naked," he adds.
