Bollywood actor Kajol recalled the days when she was shooting for her 1994 film Yeh Dillagi in a recent social media post. The film, made under the Yash Raj Films banner, also starred Akshay Kumar and Saif Ali Khan. Late actor Reema Lagoo essayed the role of Kumar and Khan’s mother in the movie. On the film’s 29th anniversary on Saturday, Kajol shared how Akshay showcased his culinary skills on the sets of the film and why choreographer Saroj Khan wanted to shoot her and Saif while filming the song “Hothon Pe Bas”.

Kajol shared a throwback picture from the movie featuring herself, Kumar and Khan. Along with it, she shared, “So much fun on this set.. and all the small memories. Akshay boasting about his cooking skills and finally making us a simple but amazing Dal. Having to walk nearly 1.5 km uphill in the dark in the snow because the car got spoilt at the bottom of the hill and our hotel was at the top and NO CELLPHONES! Riding a horse in an itsy bitsy skirt and thinking my hat would at least cover my face!!!”

Kajol also recalled laughing throughout the filming of the film’s song “Hothon Pe Bas” which required her to be all sensual and sultry. She wrote, “#Saif and me laughing our heads off when we were shooting ‘Hothon pe bas’ and #Sarojji wanting to shoot us instead of the film. Reemaji playing my mother for the first time and sitting and playing cards with her on set.”
