Khushi was better than Suhana although it is a losing war. She was saddled with all the Hindi dialogues, whereas Suhana couldn't even say "me too, I like to have fun" without saying the sounds properly, plus she looked bug eyed during her emotional scene with her dad. Even her "what"? when both Reggie and Archie are confronting her is not convincing. I do think Suhana was much better in the dances though in terms of expressions and she has screen presence - the issue is when she opened her mouth.
People are saying she was better because they are SRK fans and are looking with bias. But objectively, she does not seem like a NYU student at all and most people on Twitter and Reddit also caught that.
Reggie and Jughead will get the most accolades, I have a source on the set and can tell you YRF signed Jughead and Dharma is looking into Reggie - but they are both much older than the rest of the cast and have more experience. But Veronica has been written into the biggest scenes (in fact Agastya was not very happy with the final cut because he thought the movie gave Veronica the best character and not Archie) - such as the entire place turning against her, but she doesn't even seen to be able to do her basic trailer bits.
I actually liked Reggie the best from the trailer. I expected to like Jughead but found him meh.
You may have a point that Suhana is getting softball treatment because peeps are fans of SRK. Will see the movie to decide.
But Khushi actually was terrible. Believe me I'm not saying it as an SRK fan. I thought at least one of Sridevi's daughters could recreate her magic. But as a friend reminded me, they're Boney's kids, too, same as Arjun.
