Overview
- The principal cast and creative team gathered for a silver‑jubilee celebration in Mumbai on Friday, August 28, with Aamir Khan, Saif Ali Khan and director Farhan Akhtar among those photographed together.
- Akshaye Khanna, who played Siddharth (Sid), did not attend and host Nikhil Taneja later wrote on Instagram that Khanna had fallen sick, prompting fans to post visible disappointment online.
- Farhan Akhtar shared a series of photographs from the reunion on Instagram with the caption, “Somehow… 25 years later… we still have a lot to say to each other,” which amplified coverage and fan interest.
- The event, organised by Amazon Music and We Are Yuva at a suburban Mumbai hotel, included many collaborators and musicians from the film and featured onstage reminiscences such as Aamir Khan saying the initial script had been written in English.
- Coverage framed the meet as a reminder of the film’s influence on modern Hindi cinema, noted Preity Zinta’s unavailability while she was in Paris, and suggested renewed public attention on the cast and the film’s legacy.
