Watch: Ranbir Kapoor Refuses To Pose With Aditya Roy Kapur And His Reason Is Too Funny
Ranbir Kapoor and Aditya Roy Kapur’s playful reunion sparked ‘YJHD’ nostalgia as their off-screen bromance went viral.
In a world of fleeting digital trends, some bonds remain timeless. Bollywood fans were treated to a massive dose of nostalgia this weekend when Ranbir Kapoor and Aditya Roy Kapur crossed paths at an event in Mumbai. While celebrity sightings are common in the city, this particular reunion sent social media into a frenzy, proving that the magic of ‘Yeh Jawaani Hai Deewani’ (YJHD) is just as potent in 2026 as it was over a decade ago.
The highlight of the evening wasn’t just the presence of the two superstars, but a spontaneous, light-hearted moment that has since gone viral. As the duo stepped out onto the street, the paparazzi – eager to capture the two heartthrobs in a single frame – requested them to strike a pose together. In true Ranbir fashion, the ‘Animal’ star delivered a witty comeback that left everyone, including Aditya, in splits.

Shaking his head with a smirk, Ranbir quipped, “Nahi iske saath nahi, yeh bahut handsome hai”. The playful refusal was a testament to their long-standing friendship. Aditya, caught off guard by the compliment-disguised-as-a-snub, could only laugh and give Ranbir a friendly tap on the shoulder as they continued to share a warm camaraderie in front of the flashing cameras.
For the ‘Generation Me’ that grew up watching Ayan Mukerji’s 2013 coming-of-age classic, seeing the two together was like watching Bunny and Avi step out of the silver screen. Fans immediately flooded social media with clips of the interaction, noting how their off-screen bond mirrors the easy-going friendship they portrayed alongside Deepika Padukone and Kalki Koechlin.
One viral comment on Instagram summed up the sentiment perfectly: “We got Bunny and Avi together before GTA 6!” Another fan noted, “This is so YJHD coded. Some friendships just don't change.” The internet was quick to celebrate the fact that despite their massive individual growth in the industry, the easy-breezy vibe between the two remains untouched.
Beyond their viral bromance, both actors are currently headlines for their ambitious upcoming schedules. Ranbir Kapoor is preparing for what is being called one of the most significant projects in Indian cinema – Nitesh Tiwari’s ‘Ramayana’. Portraying the role of Lord Rama, Ranbir leads a stellar cast including Sai Pallavi as Sita, Sunny Deol as Hanuman, and Yash as Ravana. With a reported budget of Rs 4,000 crore, the two-part epic is slated for a Diwali 2026 and 2027 release.
Aditya Roy Kapur is also venturing into bold new territory. He is set to star in ‘Rakt Bramhand: The Bloody Kingdom’, a high-octane series created by the visionary duo Raj & DK. Featuring an ensemble cast with Samantha Ruth Prabhu, Ali Fazal, and Wamiqa Gabbi, the project promises to blend a mythical setting with a gripping, action-heavy narrative.
While their professional paths have led them to different genres, their recent Mumbai spotting serves as a reminder that for these two, work is work, but a good laugh with an old friend is forever.
