As soon as those epic reunion photos went online, fans went into a frenzy, unable to contain their excitement. A user wrote, “We didn’t know we needed this but we needed it,” while another commented, “The REUNION we actually needed.”
A third user summed it up perfectly, saying, “Feels like yesterday. 10 years of YJHD.” The sentiment resonated with another fan who wrote, “A decade of my comfort film.”
The excitement didn’t stop there! Deepika Padukone, who brought Naina Talwar to life, also shared the pictures on Instagram and captioned it with her character’s famous dialogue, “Memories are like a box of sweets. Once you open it, you cannot stop at one-Naina Talwar”
Notably, the post came just a day after Ayan shared a long note expressing his emotions about the film as he called YJHD his “second child and a piece of his heart and soul.”
“Making this movie was one of the greatest joys of my life! And what we achieved with it – with all its perfections and imperfections – is a source of great eternal pride for me!” a part of his post read.
“Yeh Jawaani Hai Deewani” is a story of friendships, relationships, and a lot of emotions. Made under the banner of Karan Johar’s Dharma Productions, the Ayan Mukerji-directed movie still remains a fan favourite. The film revolves around the lives of four friends — Bunny (Ranbir Kapoor), Naina (Deepika Padukone), Avi (Aditya Roy Kapur), and Aditi (Kalki Koechlin), who go on a trip to Manali, only to later part ways before reuniting at Aditi’s marriage years later.
