What I liked about the both of the characters was the intensity between them & by the difference of their love to each other.
Alizeh also is an interesting leading-lady, although one might consider this character as partly selfish. You feel for the guy throughout, as he is a likable & good protagonist, who, sadly, never gets the person, whom he truly lives for. We watch Ayan break into pieces after the love of his life friend-zones him. Karan Johar has made films celebrating love with happy endings in the past, but with 'Ae Dil Hai Mushkil', he depicts love as painful, unreasonable & also, unattainable.
To add to his misery, Alizeh gets married & Ayan is left Heartbroken, Ayan's one-sided love never ends, although a new women enters his life (Aishwarya Rai Bachchan). 'Ae Dil Hai Mushkil' Synopsis: Ayan (Ranbir Kapoor) falls in love with Alizeh (Anushka Sharma), but she considers him as her best friend. Made with skill & executed with heart, this romantic-drama isn't without its flaws, but for the most, its engaging & affecting. Karan Johar returns to fine form with 'Ae Dil Hai Mushkil'.
