Shilpa Shetty looks back at 'Apne' as film clocks 18 years
"Apne To Apne Hote Hain – Shilpa Shetty reminisces with the film's emotional track"

Mumbai, June 29

As the 2007 family drama 'Apne' clocked 18 years since its release, Bollywood actor Shilpa Shetty took a moment to look back at the emotional journey of the film.

The 'Dhadkan' actress marked the film's anniversary on Sunday by sharing a special video on her Instagram Stories.

The video showed scenes from the film, including clips of Shilpa with veteran actor Dharmendra and co-stars Sunny Deol and Bobby Deol. It was set to the film's emotional track "Apne To Apne Hote Hain," adding more to the nostalgia.

Directed by Anil Sharma, 'Apne' was a major film at the time, especially for fans of the Deol family. It was the first time Dharmendra appeared on screen with both his sons, Sunny and Bobby. Though the trio had acted in different combinations before, 'Apne' was the first to bring all three together in one story.

Shilpa Shetty played a key role in the sports drama, which focused on a former boxing champion, Baldev Chaudhary (played by Dharmendra), who wanted to restore his lost honor through the success of his sons, Angad (Sunny Deol) and Karan (Bobby Deol). The film also starred Katrina Kaif and Kirron Kher. The film showcased Dharmendra's warmth as a father and his undiminished star power, proving that even after decades in the industry, he could still captivate audiences.

'Apne' hit theatres in June 2007 and received a lot of praise from the audience.

On the work front, Shilpa was last seen in Rohit Shetty's web series 'Indian Police Force', where she played a police officer. The series also starred Sidharth Malhotra and Vivek Oberoi in lead roles and premiered earlier this year on Amazon Prime Video.

The Deol family magic was at its peak in this film. Though the boxing scenes were a bit over-the-top, the emotional core was so strong. Dharmendra's performance proves why he's the original He-Man of Bollywood!

Honestly, the film hasn't aged well. The melodrama feels too much by today's standards. But can't deny it was a perfect family entertainer for its time. The title song still plays at every family function in my house!

This movie reminds me of watching it with my dad and grandfather in theaters. Three generations enjoying a film about three generations - such beautiful symmetry! Bollywood needs more wholesome family dramas like this.

Shilpa Shetty was the perfect choice for this role - she brought grace and strength to her character. But let's be real, the movie belonged to Dharmendra. That scene where he cries watching his son fight? Masterclass acting!

The music of Apne was its soul! "Apne To Apne Hote Hain" still makes me emotional. Wish today's films had such meaningful lyrics instead of just party numbers. Nostalgia hitting hard today 😢
