Main Vapas Aaunga | Imtiaz Ali On Gen Z Relationships: 'They're Lonelier Than Any Generation'

Filmmaker Imtiaz Ali believes that while today's generation may find relationships faster than ever before, they are also struggling with loneliness. Speaking to NDTV India's Sikta Deo during promotions for his upcoming romantic drama Main Vaapas Aaunga, Imtiaz Ali reflected on the challenges faced by Gen Z. "The tragedy with this generation is that they reach their destination very quickly," he told NDTV. "Their journey of getting lost starts after reaching their destination. The current generation thinks, 'Now I have him or her, we are together, so it should be easy. It should be a bed of roses.' They start getting lost after that point." "I feel this generation is lonelier than my generation or any generation before. They are searching more for meaning. They need a deeper connection more, they are longing for that more," the filmmaker said.
