"Generous" is a word that automatically comes to Indian-American actor Poorna Jagannathan's mind when she thinks of Bollywood heartthrob Ranbir Kapoor. In 2013, Poorna shared screen space with Ranbir in Ayan Mukerji's directorial 'Yeh Jawaani Hai Deewani'. She essayed the role of Riana Sarai, a tour conductor who helps get Ranbir's character Bunny his dream job.

Cut to 2025, Poorna still cherishes the bond that she created with Ranbir on the sets of 'Yeh Jawaani Hai Deewani'. In a recent interview with ANI, she recalled how Ranbir helped her produce her play 'Nirbhaya'. "I loved working with Ayan and Ranbir. It was such a privilege. It was such a gift...Right after I did Yeh Jawaani Hai Deewaani, I went and produced my own play called Nirbhaya. And Ranbir was its first investor. He was the first one who gave me money to get this play kicked off. And we toured that, we ended up touring that play globally for three years," Poorna shared.
