Cinema VinesThe Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences surprised Indian cinephiles by posting a clip from the 2013 Hindi romantic‑comedy Yeh Jawaani Hai Deewani, a film that stars Deepika Padukone alongside Ranbir Kapoor. The Academy’s social‑media team shared a still in which the two actors discuss the importance of savoring the present moment rather than chasing fleeting highs, a theme that resonated with fans across India.
Fans reacted enthusiastically, with comments ranging from playful banter to heartfelt appreciation. One user remarked that the Academy “is in love with Deepika Padukone, just like the rest of us,” while another praised the “Indian intern at @theacademy” for championing Indian cinema. Netflix India even posted a tongue‑in‑cheek message, “How do u know my close personal friends bunny and naina,” referencing the film’s beloved characters.
Deepika Padukone’s connection to the Oscars dates back to 2023 when she introduced the hit song “Naatu Naatu” from the Telugu film RRR during the awards ceremony. Her continued presence in Hollywood and Bollywood circles has kept her in the public eye, especially as she prepares for her second child and her upcoming role in Shah Rukh Khan’s King.
The film itself follows the journey of Naina, a simple girl who falls for the ambitious Bunny, portrayed by Ranbir Kapoor. Together with their friends, they navigate the challenges of youth, friendship, and the search for home. Released in 2013, the movie achieved commercial success and remains available for streaming on Netflix.
While Deepika Padukone is expecting her second child, she has recently announced her pregnancy on Instagram with a positive test kit photo and a string of evil eye emojis. The announcement drew congratulations from fans and industry peers alike. Ranbir Kapoor, meanwhile, appears in the film Animal and is set to star as Lord Rama in Nitesh Tiwari’s upcoming adaptation of the Ramayana, slated for release in November.
