New Delhi:

As Parineeta clocked 15 years on Wednesday, the film’s actors Vidya Balan, Sanjay Dutt, Dia Mirza and Raima Sen shared some of their favourite memories from the film on social media. The Pradeep Sarkar-directed film, which released on June 10 in 2005, also starred Saif Ali Khan in the main role. The film marked Vidya’s first Hindi project. Sharing BTS pictures of herself and her co-stars from the sets of the film, Vidya expressed her love for the cinema and wrote: “Like Lolita (played by Vidya) was Shekhar’s (played by Saif) better half even before the world knew it, you were mine too … but on the 10th June 2005, I became your Parineeta. I loved you then and I love you now and I love you forevermore …my dear Cinema. And to all those who have made sure this marriage survives and thrives, tahe dil se shukriya! #15YearsOfParineeta.”

In her post, she also revealed an interesting fact about the film and said that it was her husband, producer Siddharth Roy Kapur’s first film too after he joined production house UTV Motion Pictures. “PS: Incidentally, Parineeta was also the first film my #Shekhar, Siddharth Roy Kapur worked on after joining #UTV… his first film too,” she wrote.
