Character Analysis

Rohan Nanda (Varun Dhawan) is the wealthy and well-liked student who is dating Shanaya, the most popular student. He is entitled and haughty, and he immediately perceives Abhimanyu as a danger to his position. Rohan, however, changes during the course of the movie and comes to value his friendships above his reputation. 

A middle-class youngster from a small town named Abhimanyu Singh played by Sidharth malhotra receives a scholarship to attend the elite St. Teresa's High School. He is driven and ambitious, and at first he feels out of place among the school's wealthy and well-off classmates. In the process of falling in love with Shanaya, Abhimanyu gains an appreciation for true friendship.

 Shanaya Singhania (Alia Bhatt) is Rohan's girlfriend and the most popular girl in school. She is attractive, stylish, and at first seems to be shallow and materialistic. But as the movie goes on, Shanaya's personality develops and she comes to understand the value of love and selflessness.

 Coach Shah (Ronit Roy) is St. Teresa's High School's tough and no-nonsense sports coach. Although he can be harsh with his students, he ultimately cares about their success and well-being.
