Preity Zinta shares a video of Dil Chahta Hai moments

As Dil Chahta Hai clocked 19 years on August 12, Preity Zinta shared a video that is a compilation of different scenes of Dil Chahta Hai. From Shalini's first interaction with Akash to the trio's goofy conversations, several old memories can be reminisced through this video. Preity Zinta also talked about her character and movie.

She said, "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 @faroutakhtar & to the entire cast n crew for managing to keep me quiet 🙏😂😍on set. #Friendship #DCH #Ting #19YearsOfDilChahtaHai #DilChahtaHai."

Preity Zinta also shared a video of the song Jane Kyun to mark the occasion. In this video, she is seen romancing and playfully dancing with Aamir Khan. Preity Zinta played the role of Shalini who is the love interest of Aakash played by Aamir Khan. Take a look at Preity Zinta's Instagram posts.
