11 years of Yeh Jawaani Hai Deewani: Deepika Padukone’s 5 dialogues that shall always remain in our hearts and minds

Filmmaker Ayan Mukerji’s Yeh Jawaani Hai Deewani completes 11 years today. The film starred Ranbir Kapoor, Deepika Padukone, Aditya Roy Kapur and Kalki Koechlin in pivotal roles, and it became a runaway success.

As we celebrate the 11th anniversary of the blockbuster film Yeh Jawaani Hai Deewani, we remember the timeless wisdom imparted through the character of Naina Talwar, played by Bollywood superstar Deepika Padukone. Naina’s journey from a shy, bookish girl to a confident, self-assured woman is not just a narrative arc but also a source of inspiration.

Here are some iconic dialogues mouthed by Naina’s character that shall always live in our hearts and minds:

“Yaadein mithai ke dibbe ki tarah hoti hai … Ek baar khula toh sirf ek tukda nahi kha paoge.”
This line reminds us that memories, much like a box of sweets, are irresistible once we begin to indulge in them. Naina’s words encourage us to cherish our memories and savour the moments, understanding that they are a vital part of our being.

“Kabhi kabhi kuch baatein humare yaadon ke kamre ki itni khidkiyaan khol deti hain ki hum dang reh jaate hain.”
Naina beautifully expresses how certain experiences or conversations can unexpectedly open up windows to our past. This dialogue teaches us to embrace those moments, acknowledging that our memories shape who we are and provide insights into our journey.

“Jitna bhi try karo, life mein kuch na kuch toh chootega hi. Toh jahan hain, wahin ka maza lete hain.”
This philosophy captures the essence of living in the present. Naina’s acceptance that it’s impossible to have everything in life reminds us to find joy in the present moment and appreciate and enjoy where we are right now.

“Kuch waqt do, sab theek ho jayega.”
In moments of distress, Naina’s comforting advice assures us that time is a great healer. This simple yet profound line is a reminder to be patient and to trust that things will eventually fall into place.

As we celebrate 11 years of this iconic film… we also reminisce a character that became everybody’s overnight crush – Naina Talwar, and the cherry on top, will continue to be her wisdom of truth, as she continues to teach us to start appreciating every moment and every memory along the way!
