While we are eagerly waiting for Richa Chadha’s performance in Sanjay Leela Bhansali’s Heeramandi: The Diamond Bazaara recent Instagram video of the actress proves that she is a true Bhansali fan. How, you ask? Richa posted a video recreating a scene from the ‘cult classic’ song Aankhon Ki Gustakhiyan from the 1999 film Hum Dil De Chuke Sanam. The film featured Salman Khan, Aishwarya Rai Bachchan and Ajay Devgn in the lead roles. In the clip shared by Richa, we see the iconic scene where Salman pulls Aishwarya’s braid. The text at the top of the video reads: “Tell me you’re a Bhansali fan, without telling me you’re a Bhansali fan.” Soon after, we see Richa and her boyfriend Deepak Rathod recreating the same sequence. In the caption, Richa wrote: “Hum Dil De Chuke Sanam Laugh because reality is depressing and Monday awaits! Here is my very sporty spot of about 11 years, Mr. Honey Deepak Rathod gives his best expression to a cult classic! Thank you Shayli Nayak for photographing this masterpiece. Bhansali Productions has fewer good-looking people, but not bad for nostalgia!”
