Rohan Nanda



Rohan Nanda: "Akad ki bhi aukat hoti hai aur iss college mein woh jagah meri hain."

Rohan Nanda is a student of St Teresa and the ex-boyfriend of Shanaya Singhania, the best friend of Abhimanyu Singh

Early life
He was born to billionaire Ashok Nanda and Gayatri Nanda. He never got attention from his father because of the fact his father did not approve of his dreams of becoming a rockstar. He is on of the 'Tata' students.

Student of The Year
Rohan makes his entry in the song 'Papa Kehte Hai Bada Naam Karega'. In this song also introduced is Tanya Israni. Afterwards at a party presumed to be held by Shanaya's family he is seen flirting with Tanya Israni and after this his girlfriend Shanaya Singhania pours red wine over Tanya and threatens to break up with him if he doesn't change.

Soon after this the term of their college starts and a new student arrives, Abhimanyu Singh. Rohan immediately sparks a hatred towards him because he challenges his ego and Rohan isn't used to competing for popularity. For example, when he tells him to clean his car he makes it dirty instead. Abhimanyu is scouted by coach Shah for the football team because of his skills and that makes Rohan even more jealous. To extract revenge, he takes the help of his friend Jeet Khurana. They play a prank on him by telling Abhimanyu the coach wants urine samples from boys in the football team. They put a letter inside saying it is holy water. The coach sprinkles it on his wife and son until he finds out it is actually piss. Abhi is punished by the coach but does not tell on Jeet and Rohan. This impresses Rohan and this is where their friendship starts to blossom.

During football practice the coach can't decide whether to make Rohan or Abhi captain so he makes Jeet captain to make no fights. They win against St Lawrence who have been beating them for the last 24 years and Abhi and Rohan become best friends.

Rohan takes Abhi home and he meets his dad. His dad starts to take a liking to Abhi and starts to favour him instead of Rohan. Abhi stays the night at Rohan's house after drinking so much and his dad invites him to Rohan's brother's wedding.

In Thailand for the wedding, Rohan continuously flirts with Tanya. Shanaya, frustrated by his actions, makes a plan with Abhi to put Rohan in his place by flirting with Abhi and they succeed. Rohan and Shanaya get back together and are very happy with each other.

When they return to school the Student of the Year competition has started and the IQ test happens and he comes on the top 16 list. The next part of the Student of the Year is the treasure hunt in which his team consists of Sudo,  Esha, and Shruti. His team lose to Abhi's team by 1 second and they go to Abhi's house to celebrate his victory.

After dinner, Abhi's grandmother has a cardiac arrest and Abhi's aunt blames Abhi for making everyone die calling him a bad luck charm. Rohan soon comforts Abhi saying that it is wrong. They hug in a sweet moment of compassion.

Afterwards Abhi and Shanaya fall in love and kiss and Rohan witnesses this and gets angry and even pushes Shanaya. He also calls Abhi what his aunt calls him a bad luck charm after his grandmother dies and they fight but Shanaya then stops them and tells them they don't care about her and her feelings so she breaks up with him and she leaves Abhi. The enemies turned best friends turn enemies once again...*sigh*

During the next step of the competition it is the prom and he goes with Tanya. At the end of the prom Tanya gets eliminated but he makes it into the top 8.

During the triathlon it is clear that he is going to win but Abhi is slowly beating him but after seeing Rohan's dad happy seeing Rohan lose Abhi loses on purpose. During the victory speech he gives up the trophy saying for unknown reasons. Sudo has massive argument with the Dean and says that the dean is responsible for ruining everyone's lives. Later in the film Shanaya and Abhi are married and Rohan and Abhi have not yet made up. In the gardens of the hospital where the Dean was. Rohan and Abhi have a fight and Rohan shouts why Abhi did lose on purpose and he tells him and they make up soon after. It is soon later seen that Rohan and Abhi have a race to even the scores and the film ends.
