If you are available for those who need you at the right time, you tend to become a hero at that moment.As the film clocks 7 years, we explore 7 things about Naina Talwar that made her stand out as the Hindi film hero in Bunnys life and not the other way round.So is the case with Ayan Mukerjis directorial Yeh Jawaani Hai Deewani starring Deepika Padukone, Ranbir Kapoor, Aditya Roy Kapur and Kalki Koechlin as Naina, Bunny (Kabir), Avinash and Aditi.
The film released 7 years ago on this very day but honestly, every time it reruns on TV or one binges it on an OTT platform, it feels fresh out of the oven. Well, as the film celebrates its 7th anniversary, we decided to revisit the story of Naina and Bunny, but this time, from a different lens. But even though Bollywood films project the male lead as the hero, for me, personally Naina, played by Deepika, was the ultimate hero. The simple story of a girl who is so caught up in her own complexities initially that she forgets to live, felt relatable right from the start. As she decides to take control of her life, Naina causes a ripple effect and brings a change in not just her life but even in Bunnys. Be it parents or peers or sometimes, even our own selves, we tend to not take our own calls and give the steering wheel of our life to someone else. Until one day, Naina meets Aditi and feels she has had enough of the padhai and wants to live like others. From that moment on, Naina becomes her own person and takes the first step towards taking control of her life. She refuses to follow the mundane routine and for once, jet off on a trip with complete strangers Well, they say action speaks louder than words and with this one action, Naina surely has the guts that all Hindi film heroes claim to have. ![]() However, as the trip progresses, she realises that if she has taken the guts to come out and break away from her normal life, she might as well live it to the fullest. The ability to accept change and embrace it, is what makes Naina deserving of being the hero. She felt she was too nerdy to be able to mingle with the crowd. But, when she is able to let go of her inhibitions and sees that she has actually made friends on her own, Naina realises her self-worth. This is where Bunny helps her in showing her the mirror and making her realise that she is her own person and can be whoever she chooses to be. Hence, a girl who learns to be her own champion, isnt she worthy of being the hero. Naina too, in Yeh Jawaani Hai Deewani, is the one who is selfless. She values Bunny and his dreams more than the desire to be with him. When Bunny gets into his desired university and his friends Avi and Aditi are sad, he starts having second thoughts about leaving. At that point, Naina is caught between confessing her feelings for him or letting him go. Despite knowing that letting her love go will hurt the most, Naina decides not to tell Bunny that she loves and reminds him in the moment of vulnerability that his dream is finally coming true and that he should pursue it, no matter what. Remember, your heart broke a little for her in that very moment when she hugs Bunny and lets him go for the first time Well, being selfless and valuing someone elses dream more than your desires is the stuff that only heroes can do and hence, Naina surely deserves the tag.
