“To be part of something so timeless, so full of pure love and raw beauty – it’s more than just a memory, it’s a blessing I carry every day. Grateful for the love.”

“Sirf Tum” also stars Jackie Shroff, Mohnish Bahl and Sushmita Sen. With soulful music by Nadeem-Shravan, the film is a remake of the 1996 Tamil film Kadhal Kottai.
