11 years of Yeh Jawaani Hai Deewani: Did you know Ranbir Kapoor’s THIS Animal co-star was initially offered Taran’s role?

Only a few know that Kunaal’s role of Taran was offered to someone else but he couldn’t sign the film for some reason. Can you guess him?

Yeh Jawaani Hai Deewani’s Taran’s role was first offered to Ranbir Kapoor’s Animal co-star

In Yeh Jawaani Hai Deewani, Kunaal Roy Kapur played the role of Taran, the husband of Kalki Koechlin’s character Aditi. But he was not the first choice for this role in Ranbir Kapoor and Deepika Padukone’s film.

According to several reports, Taran’s role was first offered to Bobby Deol. The makers of YJHD approached Deol for Taran’s role but he had already given his dates for Yamla Pagla Deewana 2, hence, he had to reject the offer.

Meanwhile, Ranbir and Deepika played the roles of Bunny and Naina while Aditya Roy Kapur won the hearts with his role as Avi.

The plot of Yeh Jawaani Hai Deewani follows four friends Bunny, Naina, Aditi, and Avi going on a trip. During this trip, Bunny and Naina fell in love but he had no time for it due to his profession. Later when they again met at Aditi’s wedding, their love blossomed. The rollercoaster ride of emotion, love, and a bit of comedy captured everyone’s hearts and the film is still fans’ favorite.
