Since the morning, #YehJawaaniHaiDeewani and #10YearsToYJHD have been trending on Twitter. This movie is not just a film, it is an emotion, which is loved by people across generations.

Reacting to the development, Padukone has dropped a series of Instagram stories wherein she has called the film a piece of her heart and soul. In the stories, she has attached a video of the post by Dharma Productions – a firm that produced the film.

Have a look.

Earlier in the day, director Ayan Mukerji penned down a letter thanking the cast and crew of the romantic comedy. He beamed with pride and said, “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 at least 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!,” he wrote.

The film was a blockbuster and minted over Rs 320 crores at the box office.
