One wrote, “Ek boond ki bhi hesitation nahi hai bhai. This gives me second-hand embarrassment.” “Who’s gonna tell him that TSITP is based on the highest-selling book which released back in 2011? He is next-level delusion man lol. And who’s gonna tell him every 2-boy-one-girl isn’t SOTY lol. Not even one thing in the story is the same lmao,” another fan wrote.

“Ofc ofc, Karan Johar originated the idea of love triangles,” a third fan shared. Another commented, “First director to think of this gem idea. Giving tough competition to Urvashi, I see…” “Kuch bhi bakwas karalo inse,” one shared.

“That’s hilarious, but I do remember when SOTY released, I was in school (probably 7th or 8th grade). It was an all-girls’ school, and this Varun vs Sidharth thing was a big deal in my class. But that definitely doesn’t come close to TSITP; it was more like who was more handsome,” one wrote.
