Indian-American actor Poorna Jagannathan calls Ranbir Kapoor “generous” when reflecting on their time together in ‘Yeh Jawaani Hai Deewani’ (2013). She played Riana Sarai, a tour conductor who helps Ranbir’s character, Bunny, land his dream job.
Even in 2025, Poorna Jagannathan cherishes her bond with Ranbir Kapoor from ‘Yeh Jawaani Hai Deewani’. In a recent interview, she revealed that Ranbir was the first investor in her play ‘Nirbhaya’, which toured globally for three years. “Working with Ayan and Ranbir was a privilege. ‘Yeh Jawaani Hai Deewani’ was special not just for the film but for the friendships and Ranbir’s generosity,” she shared.
Poorna Jagannathan is earning praise for her role in ‘Deli Boys’, a comedy about two Pakistani-American brothers (Asif Ali and Saagar Shaikh) who unexpectedly inherit their father’s illegal empire after his sudden death.
