Karan Johar’s most personal film, Ae Dil Hai Mushkil, a requiem to unrequited love, has turned 9 years old.
It is the film from his own repertoire that Karan Johar loves the most. Ae Dil Hai Mushkil is an exceedingly pure take on love, of the unreciprocated kind.
Ranbir’s character, Ayaan, loves Anushka’s character, Alize. They have a lot of fun together and are constantly exploring the wild juvenile side to their personality. However, she finds him to be just friendship material, not spouse material.
Karan Johar based the Ranbir-Anushka relationship on an intense one-sided relationship he had, which he never got over.
Author's summary: Karan Johar's film Ae Dil Hai Mushkil turns 9 years old.
