Alia Bhatt, Sidharth Malhotra and Varun Dhawan didn't have the slightest idea that they'd become one of the most popular actors in B-Town when they were a part of Student of The Year. One of Karan Johar's most successful films, SOTY completes six long years today. It was on this day, back in 2012, when the movie released. Sid, Varun and Alia instantly became everyone's favourite and their college romance became a favourite love story for many of them out there. With Alia Bhatt Out of the Picture, Sidharth Malhotra and Varun Dhawan Are Back to Being Friends – See Pic.

A nostalgic Alia Bhatt took to social media to share how grateful she is to KJo to have chosen her as one of the leads in the film. She said, "Just landed in Mumbai and looking at all the love that's been pouring in! Even simple things like this just make me want to work soo much harder! Love to you all from the bottom of my heart.. Can't believe it's been 6 years already! @karanjohar". Check out her tweet here-

Earlier in the morning, it was Karan who shared on Instagram how proud he is of his 'Students'. "So proud of @s1dofficial @varundvn @aliaabhatt !! Love you and thank you for making this film so special for all of us at @dharmamovies #soty," he shared on Instagram. Here's his post-

Thanks to Student of The Year, it gave Bollywood a gem of an actor like Alia Bhatt. Sidharth and Varun have been doing well on the work front too. Congratulations to team SOTY!
