Everyone’s favorite light-hearted film Yeh Jawaani Hai Deewani celebrate seven years of release in 2020.
And if you follow Popcorn Pixel on Instagram and Facebook you would have seen the segment discussing of ‘where are they now?,’ where we like to talk to get creative with how the main characters’ lives shaped after the “the end.”
In this case – Bunny, Naina, Aditi and Avi!
Yeh Jawaani Hai Deewani is a feel-good film, so there’s no need to over-analyze it. But here’s my theory –
Aditi Mehra (played by Kalki Koechlin) is still happily married to Taran. She is actively pursuing art and hosting high profile exhibitions around the world. They kinda remind me of Lilly Aldrin and Marshal Erikson from How I Met your Mother. No?
Oh, and I think they have 2 daughters.
Avinash Arora aka ‘Avi’ (played by Aditya Roy Kapur) is cleaning up his act. After his bar business failed, he took a full-time corporate job to pay his debt and now attends a weekly AA meeting. He’s 4 years sober now.
Then comes Bunny and Naina (played by Ranbir Kapoor and Deepika Padukone, respectively).
Bunny (real name Kabir Thapar) and Naina got engaged in the last scene of the film. They tried the long distance for some time, but they both hated it because they realized what they had was not LOVE, it was merely a fling. I mean the two times they met was once on vacation and the second at their friend’s wedding. Both times were in a very temporary setting when you’re in a different mindset altogether anyway… you know…
Anyway, after months of fighting Naina visits Bunny on an adventurous holiday and realizes she hates being a doctor… something she kinda knew all along. She quit her practice and moved in with Bunny. They are digital nomads now in Spain right now.
What’s your theory – what do you think they’re up to now? Tell me in the comment!
