Ayan Mukerji’s romantic comedy, Yeh Jawaani Hai Deewani (YJHD), starring Ranbir Kapoor, Deepika Padukone, Aditya Roy Kapur and Kalki Koechlin re-released last week. Kalki, who played the role of Aditi, is excited that a new generation is enjoying the movie, which originally released in 2013. She says, “To see people dancing to the film’s songs in theatres is so heart-warming. I guess the film belongs to a new generation of people now. My Instagram blew up quite a bit after I posted the announcement video in true Aditi style, so that was fun.”
While her daughter, Sappho, hasn’t seen the film, Kalki is happy with her musician husband, Guy Hershberg’s reaction after seeing the film. She shares, “My husband has seen YJHD and he says I’m as hot today as I was back then (laughs).”
The film became popular, especially among the youth, for the realistic way it portrayed life and friendships on screen. She says, “The film taught me how some friendships last a lifetime. That’s true; I’m still in touch with some of my boarding school friends, who I grew up with. Somehow, they know you best, they’ve seen you become the person you are before you started your career and became a public figure. They know your real personality.”Recounting the days when they were shooting for the film, Kalki says, “I think I bonded best with Ranbir. We aren’t much in touch now. We do meet occasionally at parties or events, but yes, we had a great time while shooting YJHD.”
She adds, “We used to gang up against the boys. Deepika and I would put snow in the boys’ T-shirts. And Ranbir and Aditya got their revenge during the haldi ceremony shoot – they were supposed to put a dot of haldi on me, but Ranbir ended up putting a whole bowl of it on my face, which I think remained in the final edit (laughs).”
