Character Analysis

Aman Mathur, the film's main male protagonist, is portrayed by Shah Rukh Khan. He makes everyone around him happier by being upbeat and enthusiastic, especially Naina, the major female character. Then it turns out that he has a terminal illness and only has a few months to live. The persona of Aman teaches us to embrace life to the fullest, to share joy and love, and to be upbeat even in the midst of difficulty.

Preity Zinta portrays the movie's female lead, Naina Catherine Kapur. She is initially portrayed as a sombre, reserved individual who is uninterested in life. But when she meets Aman, who brings joy and brightness into her life, everything changes. The persona of Naina teaches us the value of being receptive to new experiences, of enjoying life to the fullest, and of accepting those who care about us.

Saif Ali Khan's character, Rohit Patel, is Naina's best friend and harbours a secret crush on her. He is a good man who always prioritises Naina's happiness over his own. We learn valuable lessons from Rohit's character about the value of selfless love, being a good friend, and handling rejection politely.

Jennifer Kapur, who is portrayed by Jaya Bachchan, is Naina's mother and a powerful, independent woman. She is passionately protective of them because she raised her younger brother and Naina on her own. Jennifer's character teaches us the value of a strong and independent woman, the value of family, and the importance of sticking by our loved ones no matter what.
