In the pictures released from the reunion, all the stars were seen posing together. These pictures refreshed the memories of the characters and story of the film, which presented a new perspective of friendship and relationships among the youth of that era.
Why was Akshaye Khanna missing from the reunion?
Akshaye Khanna, who was one of the lead trio of the film, was not seen in this celebration. In ‘Dil Chahta Hai’ he played an important role in the story of friendship between Akash, Siddharth and Sameer. However, no reason has been revealed for his not attending the reunion. So at the moment it is difficult to say why he could not be a part of this event.
‘Dil Chahta Hai’ was the story of changing life after college.
‘Dil Chahta Hai’, directed by Farhan Akhtar, was released in 2001. The story of the film revolves around three close friends—Aakash, Siddharth and Sameer.
As the three move on with their lives after graduating college, their friendship, love, and personal decisions undergo many changes. The film presented friendship as well as the emotions and changing priorities of youth in a very simple manner.
This is the reason why the film is remembered even after 25 years of its release and its characters are still popular among the audience.
Saif remembered the old days of shooting the film
In an old interview, Saif Ali Khan had shared his experiences related to the shooting of ‘Dil Chahta Hai’. He had told that the entire team had a lot of fun during the shooting of the film, especially the experience of shooting in Goa was memorable for him.
According to Saif, the team spent a lot of time shooting on the beach and also contributed in cleaning the beach after the shoot was over. The team was told to leave the place cleaner than before and together they did just that.
Many big actors were seen in the film
Apart from Aamir Khan, Saif Ali Khan and Akshay Khanna, actors like Preity Zinta, Sonali Kulkarni, Dimple Kapadia, Ayub Khan and Rajat Kapoor were also seen in important roles in ‘Dil Chahta Hai’.
