Mumbai, January 17

Actor Dia Mirza took fans back in time as she joined the viral "This Was 2016" trend and shared a set of old pictures that brought back memories for people who loved her early films.

Taking to her Instagram account on Friday, Dia posted a few behind-the-scenes and photoshoot images with her Rehnaa Hai Terre Dil Mein (RHTDM) co-star R Madhavan, popularly known as Maddy, as the film approaches its 25th anniversary this October.

Along with the pictures, Dia wrote a caption reminding fans of how the film has stayed close to people's hearts for years and asked them to name the movie.

The caption of her post read, "This was 2016. On 19th October 2026, it will be 25 years. A gift that keeps on giving. The film released in 2001. Name the film. Oh Maddy Maddy, look what showed up?

For many viewers, Dia Mirza and R Madhavan as Reena and Maddy remain one of Bollywood's most loved on-screen pairs. Despite the film releasing over two decades ago, in 2001, its songs, dialogues and story continue to resonate with audiences, retaining a special place in their hearts.

Produced by Vashu Bhagnani's Pooja Entertainment, Rehnaa Hai Terre Dil Mein also starred Saif Ali Khan in a pivotal role and marked the Bollywood debut of both Madhavan and Dia Mirza. The romantic drama, directed by Gautham Vasudev Menon, was a Hindi remake of his own Tamil film 'Minnale', which had released earlier the same year.

Maddy and Reena's chemistry was something else. Pure magic on screen. It's sad we don't get such simple, heartfelt romantic dramas anymore. Everything is so loud now.

Respectfully, while the film is a classic for many, I always felt the storyline was a bit problematic by today's standards. Maddy essentially stalks Reena to win her over. We've evolved in how we portray romance, thankfully.

I watched this for the first time on a family trip to India! My cousins made me watch it, and I fell in love with the music. It's such a beautiful introduction to Bollywood for someone from outside.

Madhavan's debut! And what a debut it was. He brought such a charming, boy-next-door vibe that was so relatable. Dia was ethereal. They don't make them like this anymore, yaar.

The fact that Gautham Menon remade his own Tamil hit 'Minnale' in Hindi so quickly and it still worked is a testament to the story. Both versions are brilliant. True classic!
