Plot recap: What is De De Pyaar De 2 about?
The sequel continues the story of Ashish Mehra, played by Ajay Devgan, a middle-aged NRI investor and his younger girlfriend Ayesha, essayed by Rakul Preet Singh. The relationship faces its biggest test when Ashish meets Ayesha’s parents to seek their approval.
R. Madhavan plays Ayesha’s father, a man who considers himself modern but struggles to accept the large age gap between his daughter and her boyfriend. Gautami Kapoor essays the role of Ayesha’s mother, while Meezaan Jafri appears as Adi, Ayesha’s childhood friend and a more “suitable” match according to her parents.
What follows is a comic clash of ideas, misunderstandings, and family drama, with Ayesha eventually taking charge and teaching the men around her a lesson about respecting her choices.
R. Madhavan on modern parenting and changing norms
The film also sparked some conversations after R. Madhavan spoke about its themes in a recent interview with IMDB in November. The actor said that relationships shown in De De Pyaar De 2 may have been judged harshly in the past, but feel more relatable to younger audiences today.
He also said the story made him think about parenting, explaining that the values he grew up with don’t always fit the next generation. According to Madhavan, the film offers options and perspectives rather than fixed answers, making it relevant for families navigating similar debates.
