Today marks the 9th anniversary of Karan Johar’s romantic drama, Ae Dil Hai Mushkil, which was released on October 28, 2016. The film, starring Ranbir Kapoor, Anushka Sharma, and Aishwarya Rai Bachchan, explores themes of unrequited love, friendship, and heartbreak. Johar has often referred to Ae Dil Hai Mushkil as one of his most personal films. To commemorate this milestone, let's revisit some of the film's most memorable dialogues.

Ae Dil Hai Mushkil is known for its poignant and relatable dialogues that resonated with audiences. Here are seven unforgettable lines from the film:

1. "Aasaan hai kya aisi mohabbat karna jiske badle mohabbat na mile?" This dialogue translates to "Is it easy to love someone when you don't get love in return?" It encapsulates the central theme of the movie: the pain and complexities of one-sided love.

2. "Ek tarfa pyaar ki taqat hi kuch aur hoti hai. Auron ke rishte ki tarah ye do logo me nahi batti, sirf mera haq hai ispe." This translates to "The power of one-sided love is something else. Like other relationships, it is not divided between two people, only I have the right on it". This dialogue highlights the unique intensity and singular focus of unrequited love.

3. "Main kisi ki zaroorat nahi, khwaish banna chahti hu." Meaning "I don't want to be someone's need, I want to be their desire," this line expresses the desire to be wanted and cherished, not just needed.

4. "Pyar mein junoon hai par dosti mein sukoon hai. Main kabhi nahi chahti ki jo hum dono ke bich sukoon hai wo chala jaye." This translates to: "There is passion in love, but there is peace in friendship. I never want the peace that we have to go away." It beautifully captures the contrasting emotions of love and friendship, and the fear of losing the comfort of friendship.

5. "Ajeeb kahani hai pyaar aur dosti ke rishte ki. Pyar humara hero aur dosti humari heroine.” This translates to "Love is our hero and friendship is our heroine". This dialogue describes the love and friendship

6. "Log aksar kehte hai na ki dil aur dimaag ke beech mein dil ki sunni chahiye … lekin jab dil toot jaata hai … toh usse behtar advice toh dimaag hi deta hai." Roughly translated, it means, "People often say that one should listen to their heart over their mind, but when the heart breaks, the mind gives better advice". This reflects on the wisdom gained from heartbreak and the importance of rational thinking in difficult times.

7. "Kisi ne kabhi aapko suddenly chaata mara hai … phaat … us chaante ko ishq kehte hai … aur woh chaanta aur zor se padta hai jab koi teesra aa jaata hai." This translates to "Has anyone ever suddenly slapped you? That slap is love, and that slap hurts even more when a third person comes in between". This dialogue uses a vivid metaphor to describe the unexpected and sometimes painful nature of love, especially when complicated by a third party.

These dialogues, among others, contributed to the film's success and its lasting impact on popular culture. Ae Dil Hai Mushkil explored the complexities of human relationships with depth and sensitivity, making it a memorable film for many. Karan Johar's personal connection to the film is evident, and its continued relevance nine years later is a testament to its emotional resonance.
