A vintage clip featuring Shah Rukh Khan and Preity Zinta rehearsing to the song ‘Tere Liye’ from ‘Veer Zaara’ has resurfaced online. Zinta, who shared the video on her Instagram, disclosed that it was captured during their rehearsals for an award show.

Preity Zinta’s note read, “This was us rehearsing for an award show. I remember I had no sleep for 2 days and I felt like a zombie.

@iamsrk helped brighten the day & the rehearsal with his easy charm & timely jokes. The flip when he is holding me was the same step we did in Jiya Jale. #memories #tereliye #veerzaara #jiyajale #flashbackfriday #Ting.”

Considered a standout among Yash Chopra‘s romantic repertoire, ‘Veer Zaara’ intricately weaves the tale of Indian Air Force pilot Veer Pratap Singh and Pakistani girl Zaara Hayat Khan. Lauded as more than just a love story upon its 2004 release, it elevated the standard of Bollywood romance. The film boasts a stellar cast including Divya Dutta, Rani Mukerji, Manoj Bajpayee, Akhilendra Mishra, Anupam Kher, and Zohra Sehgal, with notable appearances by Amitabh Bachchan and Hema Malini. As ‘Veer Zaara’ approaches its two-decade milestone, Preity Zinta reminisced about its 15-year mark, “Remembering the iconic Veer-Zaara today—it’s not just a movie but an era.

A time of decency, dignity, love, respect, and honor. It’s my most memorable film experience. Working with the greatest director of all time, Yash Chopra, who insisted I call him Yash uncle while he called me Zaara till the day he passed.”
