Dear Zindagi arrives like a warm, late-night conversation: candid, gently philosophical, and imperfectly human. At its heart is Kaira (Alia Bhatt), a charismatic and restless cinematographer whose life looks enviable on the surface but crumbles under recurring anxiety, shaky relationships, and a stubborn resistance to asking for help. Enter Dr. Jehangir “Jug” Khan (Shah Rukh Khan), an offbeat therapist who treats Kaira not with clinical distance but with practical tenderness and wry wisdom.
