Star Plus’ Pyaar Ka Dard Hai celebrates 20 years of Hum Aapke Hai Koun

Weddings have always been a part of the quintessential Bollywood movie. But no one till date has been able to capture the true essence of the big fat Indian wedding like the Barjatyas in Bollywood.

Circa August 5th 1994, India witnessed its first wholesome love story spun around the elaborate rituals of a lavish North Indian wedding in Hum Aapke Hai Koun. Starring a young and handsome Salman Khan and 90s’ diva Madhuri Dixit, the movie became a runaway hit.

Today the film has completed 20 glorious years evoking a sense of celebrations in the Barjatya camp. And to mark a tribute to the film, the cast of the production’s popular show on Star Plus, Pyaar Ka Dard Hai…Meetha Meetha Pyaara Pyaara will be seen performing to one of the songs from the film.

Shares a source, “The show will see the birthday celebrations of Aditya (Nakuul Mehta) and during the revelery, the family will match steps to the tunes of Dhiktana dhiktana…”

We spoke to Khushwant Walia aka Rubel who shared, “It was a small gesture from our side to pay tribute to one of the most memorable films of our times. Ayesha (Disha Parmar) and Rubel will be seen bringing the entire family together during the celebrations. Rajshri Productions have always imbibed the feel of a happy family in its projects and we too will share the same aura.”
