When Anushka Sharma said she wouldn’t be friends with Alizeh from Ae Dil Hai Mushkil; here’s why

by

As a dedicated film enthusiast with years of immersive cinema experiences under my belt, I must say that Anushka Sharma’s candid admission about not wanting to be friends with Alizeh from Ae Dil Hai Mushkil resonates deeply with me. While her character was undeniably captivating and emotionally charged, the endless drama and melodrama would certainly test even the most patient of friends.

2016 saw the release of Karan Johar’s movie “Ae Dil Hai Mushkil,” starring Ranbir Kapoor and Anushka Sharma. This film garnered a lot of appreciation, featuring notable cameos by Shah Rukh Khan, Aishwarya Rai, Fawad Khan, and others. In a previous interview, Anushka admitted that she wouldn’t want to be friends with the character Alizeh due to excessive drama.

Over time, characters Ayan and Alizeh from Karan Johar’s film “Ae Dil Hai Mushkil” have carved out a special niche in viewers’ affections. In 2018, during Rajeev Masand’s Roundtable discussion with actresses, they were asked to pick a character they would like to befriend.

In response to this question, Anushka Sharma stated openly that she wouldn’t want Alizeh, the character she portrayed in “Ae Dil Hai Mushkil,” to be her friend. She described Alizeh as being overly dramatic and emotional. This is what she said: “The only character I don’t want to be friends with among those I’ve played is Alizeh from ‘Ae Dil Hai Mushkil’.”

Looking back on the situation, I chuckled and shared, “Ah, this soft-spoken melodrama! It seems I’ve fallen head over heels (I’m in love), and all that goes along with it. If she were just my friend, I’d say, ‘Hey, shake it off, buddy! Snap out of it.’ Honestly, show some self-respect. That would be my advice to her.”

At the gathering, Alia Bhatt, Deepika Padukone, Rani Mukerji, Taapsee Pannu, and Tabu were all present. During the discussion, the actress who played Jigra expressed her desire to be friends with the characters portrayed by other actresses. She even admitted that she found Deepika’s character, Naina from Yeh Jawaani Hai Deewani, adorably cute.

1. Taapsee Pannu expressed her fondness for Rumi from Manmarziyaan, while Rani shared a liking for Meera Gaity from No One Killed Jessica. Moreover, Tabu jokingly said, “All my characters end up dying in the movies, so I don’t think my friendships would last.”

The movie “Ae Dil Hai Mushkil” delved into the intricacies of romance by focusing on the characters of Alizeh (played by Anushka Sharma), who was mending from a past relationship, and Ayan (portrayed by Ranbir Kapoor), a carefree musician. As their tale progresses, they encounter both the ecstasy of deep affection and the sorrow of heartache.
