Dil Chahta Hai was a unique experience and shoot for me cuz Shalani barely had any dialogues to express herself. She was an introvert. Shy, quiet and soft. Her eyes communicated her silent strength. On screen it’s really tough to perform when every one has the funniest lines and you need to be unaffected & serious. DCH & Shalani taught me to center myself & express myself without holding on to words. Thank you Farhan Akhtar & to the entire cast n crew for managing to keep me quiet 🙏😂😍on set.

Dil Chahta Hai 😍 turns a year older today. A film where there was no place for a hero or heroine - just relatable characters that we could reach out n touch and laugh out aloud with. It will always have a very special place in my heart. Thank you to the entire cast n crew & the audience for all the love 🙏 #ting #21yearsofdilchahtahai Farhan Akhtar #AamirKhan #AkshayeKhanna #SaifAliKhan #DimpleKapadia SonaliKulkarni Shankar Ehsaan Loy Ritesh Sidhwani Excel Entertainment | Preity G Zinta
