The coming-of-age film ‘Ye Jawaani Hai Deewani’ was released on screens 10 years ago. The cult classic became a momunental part of the changing Bollywood industry. The film revolves around four friends, and shifts between their time as young graduates to ten years later when they become adults Ranbir Kapoor starred as the energetic and lively Kabir, who always dreamed of a career in journalism and flying around the world, while Deepika Padukone played the studious and quiet Naina, who has a secret crush on Kabir but fears telling him so.
To mark the occasion, fans from around the world, especially the cast and crew, celebrated by sharing hilarious anecdotes and heart warming messages for fans.
Director Ayan Mukerjee shared a video clip of memorable moments, and also sent out a heartfelt message for fans who had supported the film since its release:
“YJHD – My second child, a piece of my heart and soul – 10 years old today! ❤️
I think after all these years, I can confidently say that… 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!
Strangely, I don’t think I’ve ever seen Yeh Jawaani Hai Deewani fully from beginning to end, since the day it released … (Always pushing towards the next milestone, and not looking back enough…!)
But when I’m older and wiser – I think I will watch the movie atleast once a year – because a big part of who I was and how I looked at life – is forever captured in this movie !
In the recent months, I have often had people recognise me and come up to me… and I’m thinking they will say something about Brahmāstra, and then they started talking about YJHD !
So, putting out a whole lot of gratitude for Yeh Jawaani Hai Deewani… and all the many people who connected deeply with the movie over the years ! ❤️
Also sharing a Director’s Note I had written at the time, in my story which someone special from my team shared with me a few days ago… and it brought back all kinds of memories for me !”
He even shared the director’s note on his Instagram stories where he had described the film as:
Yeh Jawaani Hai Deewani is a cocktail of all these encounters and obsessions… It is a story of the exhilarating and terrifying journey of four characters as they navigate through their youth; from their carefree laughter as they set off on a holiday together in their colleges days, until their bittersweet tears as they watch the first of their bunch get married. It is an effort to somehow capture the spirit of their lives, wrestle with it and give it to our audience in a bottle. So that it might make them feel happy and joyful and sad and nostalgic. And like the characters in the film, it might make them seek for what it is, in all of the above, that truly gives our lives meaning.”
Mukerjee also posted never before seen pictures with Padukone and Kapoor:
Actors like Padukone, and Kalki Kanmani celebrated the anniversary of the film with the ‘Bajirao Mastani’ actress taking to Instagram to share the trailer of the film with the caption: ‘A piece of my heart’
While Kanmani, who played the outgoing and rough Aditi, recalled her experience by writing about how memorable working with the cast was:
“How we’ve all grown and learnt since then and yet some things I can’t imagine any different, like @deepikapadukone will always be teaching us a dance step we can’t follow, @adityaroykapur will always be our big Lebowski, Ranbir will always play a prank that makes us squeal and @ayan_mukerji will always ask us uncomfortably personal questions that lead to the best conversations loved the memories we collected here, happy 10 years guys ”
Fans on social media have celebrated the occasion by sharing their favorite scenes from the film:
happy 10 years to yjhd and deepika padukone as naina talwar. her most quintessential bollywood heroine moment. a role etched out in the hearts of a whole generation, to whom so many girls relate to. iconic, impactful and unparalleled #10YearsOfYJHDhttps://t.co/PwkTNixeMT
Fans of the film even shared some of their favorite dialogues, like the scene between Naina and Kabir when she tells him to learn to take life as it is rather than keep chasing the next best thing.
10 years of yjhd ♡ A movie that I love a lil more every time I rewatch <3
A video has gone viral on social media, in which family members of a child who died at the Children’s Hospital in Lahore, can be seen beating up a doctor at the facility.
The Young Doctors organization at the Children’s Hospital immediately ceased all indoor and outdoor medical services in response to the event. Five suspects have been nominated in the First Information Report (FIR), which states that family members of the deceased child attempted to murder medical professionals.
In addition to physically abusing the physicians, the accused specifically singled out female nurses and doctors and swore at them.
All five suspects were swiftly taken into custody by the police for further investigation and legal proceedings.

Following the incident, the doctors staged a protest at Ferozepur Road.
The Asia Cup controversy is showing no sign of ending, as the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) does not want to end the stalemate with Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB).
BCCI has rejected the proposal of a hybrid model proposed by PCB, with Indian officials rejecting the offer to play in Dubai. The Indian government’s rigid influence did not let Asian Cricket Council (ACC) solve the dispute amicably.
As of PCB’s proposed hybrid model, which suggested that the first four matches will be played in Pakistan and the rest of the tournament moves to a neutral venue, Pakistan demanded that India first accepts it, then Board officials will decide which country will host the rest of the matches.
Revenue concerns are the first priority of Pakistan, with Dubai being the favorite choice.
Bangladesh and Sri Lanka have expressed concerns over weather conditions in Dubai. Sri Lanka is up in line for hosting Asia Cup 2023.
Media speculation suggests that they secretly shook hands with BCCI and hinted to ACC that the weather is also suitable there.
As time passes, Pakistan is losing its grip on hosting Asia Cup 2023 with Asian teams looking to favour India. PCB Chairman Najam Sethi has said that if the hosting rights will be stolen from the country, then Pakistan will also not play World Cup 2023 in India.
Justice Babar Sattar of the Islamabad High Court on Wednesday heard a plea filed by Najam Saqib, son of former chief justice of Pakistan (CJP) Mian Saqib Nisar, against a special committee formed by the National Assembly speaker to probe into audio clips allegedly featuring his voice.
During the hearing Babar Sattar asked the federal government, “Who records these audios?”, while suspending the summon notice issued to Najam by the special committee.
“There is no relevant ministry in this matter, but we will do so,” Khosa said.
“We only challenged that the speaker and the assembly do not have the authority to look into private matters. The petition does not challenge the matter which is pending in the Supreme Court,” said Latif Khosa, on behalf of the petitioner.
“The audio leak is an alleged conversation between two private individuals that Parliament has no right to see,” he added.
Sattar further said, “You have also been a governor. Tell me, who records these audios?”
“Let the parties answer first, then everything will be clear,” Latif responded.
On May 2, the National Assembly passed a motion demanding formation of a special parliamentary committee to investigate the audios, while on May 3, National Assembly Speaker Raja Pervaiz Ashraf constituted the committee.
Punjab Inspector General (IG) Dr Usman Anwar held a joint press conference with SSP Dr Anoush Chaudhry on Tuesday, to dismiss allegations of mistreatment of women in jails.
He said that people should have trust in their institutions, adding that there are more than 150 cameras inside Kot Lak Pat jail.
Dr Anoush said that women were being provided facilities as per rules. She said that she had met with the detained women herself and inquired about any issues they were facing.
The IG also said that old pictures and videos were being posted to propagate a false narrative.
Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf chairman Imran Khan, in a televised address to the nation on Sunday, claimed that he had received reports that women belonging to his party are being harassed in jails.
He requested the judiciary to take suo motu action against the arrests.
Former Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) leader and singer Abrar ul Haq has apologised for performing at a property expo held in London, two days after he quit the party.
“I shouldn’t be in London if Pakistanis are unhappy,” said Abrar.
The singer stated that he went to the London ceremony for a hospital’s charity fundraising.
Denying media reports that he was mobbed by PTI workers, Abrar said that the miscreants who targeted him were planted people.
Haq further said that he is sorry if anyone’s sentiments were hurt.
During the show, the anchor played a video chunk of Abrar’s 2019 statement in which he justified assassination attempt on his constituency rival Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N) leader Ahsan Iqbal. The host then asked Abrar if he regretted his statement. To which Abrar said that such acts should be condemned.
Abrar ul Haq had announced on Friday that he is parting ways with PTI, saying he didn’t see any purpose in staying with the party. He was in tears as he made the announcement.
Bollywood actor Naseeruddin Shah spoke to Indian Express about growing Islamaphobia under the rule of the right-wing Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) and its influence on Bollywood.
“Oh sure, these are worrying times absolutely,” the veteran actor said. “The kind of stuff that’s pure, undisguised propaganda is being lapped up and it’s a reflection of the zeitgeist of the times. Muslim hating is fashionable these days, even among educated people. It’s what the ruling party has very cleverly tapped into this nerve. We talk about secular this, democracy that, so why are you introducing religion into everything?.”
The actor is well known for his out-spoken critique on Prime Minister Narendra Modi and the spread of fascism in India, especially on the Indian Premier’s silence on growing hate speech in India.
“I mean how spineless is the election commission of ours? Who doesn’t even dare utter a word. If there had been a Muslim leader who had said, ‘Allah Hu Akbar bol ke button dabao’, sh*t would have hit the fan. But here our Prime Minister goes ahead and says things like this and yet he loses. So, I have hope that this will wear off. But it’s definitely, at the moment, at its peak. It’s been a very clever card played by this government, and it has worked. Let’s see how long it continues to work.”
Speaking on the rise of state propaganda films like ‘Mission Majnu’ and ‘Kashmir Files’, Shah said that the best thing that actors can do in these times is stay quiet and not participate in any propaganda, because artists these days are scared to raise their voice or fear their movies will be boycotted by the masses.
Further addressing the role of art in influencing society, Shah urged all artists to raise the right questions, but also stressed on the need to come from a place of fearlessness. He further said that words and no action will not resolve the issue, but one has to practice what they preach.
Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) Chairman Imran Khan has sent a Rs10 Billion defamation notice to Health Minister Abdul Qadir Patel for sharing details about an alleged medical test conducted during his arrest, stating that the PTI chief had faked his fracture and that alleging that he is mentally unstable.
Imran Khan asked the minister through the legal notice to, “retract his statements in the same mode and manner in which he made them in the first place”.
The private medical reports of the tests that the government is said to have conducted on PTI leader Imran Khan earlier this month while he was under arrest were made public on Friday.
The investigations stated that Imran Khan’s mental stability was under question and that while no leg fractures were found, there was evidence of alcohol and an illicit substance in his urine.
