It was 25 years ago when the millennials got the lesson about true friendship, teenage crushes and loyalty in the famous show, Hip Hip Hurray. Accept it, we all wanted to be as smart as Mona, the head girl of her school, or look super hot like the NRI girl, Noonie. It won't be wrong to say that Hip Hip Hurray was an emotion which aired in the rainy season of 1998.
The show instantly became a favourite of that era as it depicted the story of a bunch of high school students studying in 12th grade.
