Mumbai, Aug 12
Actress Meenakshi Seshadri took a nostalgic trip down memory lane as she recreated her popular romantic song 'Ae Dil' from her 1993 film 'Aadmi Khilona Hai' directed by J. Om Prakash.
The actress shared a video dancing on the number and recalled how the Nadeem-Shravan composition was filmed against the picturesque valleys of Mahabaleshwar.
"'Ae Dil' ek bahut hi khoosurat romantic gaana hai. Merifilm aadmi khilona hai se liya gaya hai. Mahabaleshwar ke haseen vaadiyo main isse picture kiya gaya. Nadeem Shravan ka yeh geet behad pasand kiya gaya. I had a lot of fun recreating it!"
"(Ae Dil is a beautiful romantic song from my film Aadmi Khilona Hai. It was shot amidst the stunning valleys of Mahabaleshwar. This song by Nadeem-Shravan was hugely loved by the audience. I had a lot of fun recreating it!). "
Aadmi Khilona Hai stars Jeetendra, Govinda, Reena Roy, Meenakshi Sheshadri.
The film follows the characters Vijay and Ganga, who live happily with Vijay's brother Sharad. When it is revealed that Sharad's wife Poonam cannot conceive, Ganga makes the ultimate sacrifice and gives Poonam her own child.
Talking about Meenakshi, she became one of Hindi cinema's leading actresses in the 1980s and 1990s. She made her debut with the film Painter Babu in 1983 and her second film Hero catapulted her to instant stardom.
Meenakshi gained stardom with her work in films such as "Aandhi-Toofan", "Meri Jung," "Swati," "Dacait," "Inaam Dus Hazaar," "Shahenshah," "Awaargi," "Ghar Ho To Aisa," "Damini" and "Ghatak". A documentary was made about her life, titled Meenakshi Accept Her Wings.
She was last seen in "Ghatak: Lethal" in 1996 Hindi-language action thriller film directed by Rajkumar Santoshi, starring Sunny Deol, Meenakshi Seshadri, Amrish Puri, and Danny Denzongpa.
It was the highest-grossing Bollywood film in terms of domestic Box office collection and the second-highest-grossing overall in terms of worldwide collection that year.

She was truly one of the most talented actresses of her time. But honestly, I feel the song's beauty was also because of the scenic Mahabaleshwar valleys. That place is still breathtaking! Nostalgia hitting hard.
The 90s era was truly special for Bollywood. Meenakshi ji's charm was unmatched. She looks so happy in the video - age is just a number when you have that kind of energy. God bless her! 🙏
I was born in 2000 but my mom used to play these songs all the time. Ae Dil is such a beautiful romantic number. It's nice to see these legends still celebrating their work. The film's story about sacrifice is also very touching - they don't make movies like this anymore!
Respect to her for staying connected with her fans. But I must say, I prefer the original version. Some magic is best left untouched! Still, it's wonderful to see her happy and healthy after all these years. 👏
Aadmi Khilona Hai was such an emotional film. The storyline about a woman giving her child to her sister-in-law was so powerful. Meenakshi ma'am brought so much sensitivity to her role. Looking forward to seeing more such recreations from her! ✨
