Bhansali Productions’ Instagram page also published some previously unseen photographs from the shoot, which included the three leading actors. “We experienced a gamut of feelings then, and we’re experiencing a gamut of emotions now as we open our treasure chest Celebrating 22 Years of living and enjoying Vanraj, Nandini, and Sameer’s testament of love,” the message continued.

To his family’s chagrin, he embarks on a mission to reconcile the lovers.
While on the quest for Sameer (Khan), his wife Nandini (Rai) discovers Vanraj’s goodness and falls in love with him.
