R
Madhavan-Dia
Mirza
starrer
Rehnaa
Hai
Terre
Dil
Mein
(RHTDM)
has
become
a
cult
film
over
the
years.
With
the
lead
pair's
mint
fresh
chemistry
and
soulful
music,
the
rom-com
continues
to
hold
a
special
place
in
the
audience's
hearts
even
today.
As
the
film
clocks
20
years
today
(October
19,
2021),
Dia
Mirza
walked
down
the
memory
lane
in
an
interaction
with
Hindustan
Times.
Rehnaa
Hai
Terre
Dil
Mein
marked
the
acting
debut
of
Dia
who
had
previously
won
the
Miss
Asia
Pacific
Crown.
Speaking
about
her
journey
in
Bollywood,
the
actress
said
that
RHTDM
was
her
introduction
to
a
new
creative
journey.
"Every
year
around
this
time,
I
remember
the
moments
I
spent
on
the
sets
of
Rehnaa
Hai
Terre
Dil
Mein.
This
film
was
my
introduction
to
a
new
creative
journey
and
also
to
the
industry.
I
am
very
grateful
that
both
the
film
and
the
people
I
worked
with
made
me
believe
that
I
had
chosen
the
right
path," Dia
told
the
tabloid.
She
further
continued,
"Even
though
I
was
a
young
girl
who
had
not
even
travelled
abroad
before
venturing
out
to
win
Miss
Asia
Pacific
Crown,
this
film
and
its
cast
and
crew
made
me
feel
that
I
belonged."
Dia
revealed
that
her
character
of
Reena
Malhotra
in
this
flick
is
her
personal
favourite
as
she
identified
with
her
innate
poise
and
dignity.
She
also
talked
about
why
the
film
continues
to
have
a
lasting
appeal.
"Two
decades
before
the
kind
of
gender
lens
that
we
apply
to
female
characters
now,
this
girl
knew
how
to
stand
her
ground
and
refused
to
be
intimidated
or
bullied.
And
of
course,
the
film's
music
was
and
is
so
soul-filling.
I
guess,
so
many
fans
look
back
at
this
film
with
nostalgia
because
we
are
no
longer
making
musical
love
stories.
Rehnaa
Hai
Terre
Dil
Mein,
its
songs
and
dialogues
take
people
back
to
a
sweeter,
simpler
era.
That
I
guess
explains
the
lasting
appeal
of
the
film,"
Hindustan
Times
quoted
Dia
as
saying.
The
actress
further
said
that
it
is
always
extremely
gratifying
to
meet
people
who
have
their
own
RHTDM
story
to
share
with
her.
She
was
quoted
as
saying,
"People
even
continue
to
enjoy
the
music
from
the
film.
Watching
videos
of
people
singing,
dancing
and
performing
the
songs
of
Rehnaa
Hai
Terre
Dil
Mein
makes
us
feel
like
the
movie
released
yesterday!
What
a
privilege
for
an
actor
to
be
a
part
of
this
kind
of
love."
