Taking to Instagram, Anil Kapoor shared a collage of a few pictures of the movie put together and captioned it as, “ Hamara Dil Aapke Paas hai. Looking back at Hamara Dil Aapke Paas Hai as it completes 25 years, my heart is filled with memories of my dearest friend Satish Kaushik. I still remember how Aishwarya became a part of this special journey. While we were shooting Taal, I was struck by her incredible talent and suggested her name to Naidu Saab and Satish ji. At first, there were some reservations, but once Satish saw her on set, he was convinced. The rest, as
they say, is history.
Ironically, just before shooting began, Aishwarya had some concerns and almost stepped away. Satish and I went to her home, had a heartfelt conversation, and thankfully, she decided to stay on board. And I’m so glad she did, because her performance was phenomenal and the film went on to become a super hit, loved by both the trade and the audience.
Grateful for the memories, the magic we created, and for my friend Satish, whom I miss dearly every day
#HamaraDilAapkePaasHai.”
Aishwarya Rai Bachchan and Anil Kapoor, before “Hamara Dil Aapke Paas Hai”, had worked together in the super hit movie “Taal”.
Actor Satish Kaushik who is no longer amidst us, shared an extremely close bond with Anil Kapoor and they had been thick of friends for over 35 years.
