Mumbai, May 24
Actor Ameesha Patel took a nostalgic trip down the memory lane, revisiting fond memories of 'Kaho Naa Pyaar Hai'.
In an Instagram post, Ameesha shared a rare picture from the days of shooting 'Kaho Naa Pyaar Hai'.
"Sunday throwback pik for the fans-(SONIA) me having dinner with my (ROHIT / RAJ) @hrithikroshan 1 of the evenings whilst on our shoot schedules of KAHO NA PYAAR HAIN at a cute Resturant in PHUKET! Innocence n real bonds that don't exist in today's Bollywood times between co stars! blessed 2 have created such bonds n friendships that last forever!" she wrote.

Fans quickly rushed to the comment section, expressing their delight on being treated to a nostalgic throwback.
'Kaho Naa... Pyaar Hai' was released in 2000 and became a massive hit. Hrithik played a dual role in the movie, portraying Rohit, a singer, and his lookalike Raj, in a gripping tale of love, loss, and revenge. Ameesha played his love interest, Sonia.
The film became an instant blockbuster, with Hrithik's iconic double role, dashing looks and unmatchable dance skills grabbing the attention of the audience.
The movie, which was a blend of romance, drama, and thrilling action, also featured a stellar supporting cast, including Anupam Kher, Farida Jalal, Satish Shah, Mohnish Behl, Dalip Tahil, Ashish Vidyarthi, and Vrajesh Hirjee.
The film's songs including 'Pyaar ki Kashti Mein', 'Ek Pal Ka Jeena', among others are still fan-favourite.
In a previous interview with ANI, Rakesh Roshan said that making 'Kaho Naa... Pyaar Hai' was a challenge for him as he had done 'Khudgarz', 'Khoon Bhari Maang', followed by 'Kishen Kanhaiya', 'King Uncle', 'Karan Arjun' and 'Koyla' but never any romantic film.
"I made all different kinds of genres but never romantic. So, I said let me make a romantic film because people are telling me you are not romantic. Then I thought about what to make, and this idea came. So I made the film as a filmmaker" he said.
Last year, the film marked its 25th anniversary, marking a re-release in theatres.

Honestly, Ameesha's acting in this film was underrated. She held her own against Hrithik who was a phenomenon right from his debut. But yaar, she's right - such genuine friendships between co-stars are rare these days. Today it's all about PR and Instagram posts, not real bonds. 🎬✨
Nostalgia overload! 😍 I was in college when this film released and Hrithik became an overnight sensation. That double role was mind-blowing for its time. And Rakesh Roshan, despite being known for action films, created a romantic classic. Respect to the whole team for giving us such timeless memories.
I appreciate the throwback but honestly, Ameesha could have been more active in Bollywood after this. She had such potential but things didn't work out. Still, it's lovely to see she holds these memories close. The innocence of that era in Bollywood is something we all miss today! 💫
Ameesha Patel and Hrithik Roshan - what a pair! This film literally launched Hrithik's career. The songs are still heard at weddings and parties. 'Pyaar Ki Kashti Mein' was my go-to romantic song for years. And those Phuket shooting stories? Memories like these are precious. 🎶
