Aditya Chopra’s blockbuster romantic film Mohabbatein, starring Amitabh Bachchan, Shah Rukh Khan and Aishwarya Rai Bachchan completes its 20th year today and to mark this special moment in Hindi cinema, Yash Raj Films has activated a digital campaign that will evoke pure nostalgia.
YRF is known for many never-done-before, unique digital and social-media-first innovations and for Mohabbatein, the company has partnered with Twitter India to launch an audio Tweet which hasn’t been officially engaged at this scale, in the film promotional space. Hence, YRF (through #Mohabbatein20 activity) is the first production house to do so.
A cult classic romance, Mohabbatein, was a rage among audiences for its beautiful love story and powerful dialogues that set up a clash between Amitabh Bachchan and Shah Rukh Khan – the former a non-believer in love and the latter, who considered love to be the purest thing that one can experience in life. The #Mohabbatein20 activity will evoke nostalgia as Shah Rukh Khan recreates the most romantic dialogue of Mohabbatein today, through this unique innovation.

YRF Tweeted:
SRK Responded:
“Ek ladki thi deewani si
Ek ladke pe woh marti thi
Nazrein jhuka ke, sharma ke
Galiyon se guzarti thi
Chori chori chupke chupke
Chithhiyan likha karti thi
Kuch kehna tha shaayad usko
Jaane kisse darti thi
Jab bhi milti thi mujhse
Mujhse pucha karti thi
Pyaar kaise hota hai?
Yeh pyaar kaise hota hai?
Aur main sirf yahi keh pata tha”
YRF Tweeted:
