5 years of SOTY: Karan, Varun, Alia, Sidharth celebrate milestone, Yash-Roohi join in
Mumbai: Karan Johar took a risk of sorts by breaking his tradition of casting big names like Shah Rukh Khan, Amitabh Bachchan, Kajol, casting fresh faces Alia Bhatt, Varun Dhawan and Sidharth Malhotra in ‘Student of the Year.’
The gamble paid off with the film becoming a success and most importantly gifting three more stars to the industry.
'Student of the Year' completed the milestone of five years on Thursday and with the festival of Diwali currently underway, the team got together for a dual celebration.
The four stars recreated their ‘Disco Deewane’ step, Karan gave ‘The 5 year Speech’ and the team cut the ‘Student of the Year’ cake.
All the four celebrities also posted touching messages on their social media handles on the completion of the milestone, thanking each other for their respective contribution in the journey.

Even Karan’s twins Yash and Roohi joined in the celebrations where they were obviously the centre of attraction, with Ayan Mukerji also being spotted. Varun also shared a picture with Roohi, calling her the 'most beautiful girl in the room.'

Sridevi’s daughter Jhanvi and Shahid Kapoor’s brother Ishaan Khatter are reportedly going to be to be launched in a similar grand manner with the ‘Sairat’ remake, and it would be interesting to see if they can replicate the success of the 'Students.'
