Priyanka Chopra celebrates 20 years of 'Mujhse Shaadi Karogi' with a TBT pic poking fun at 'Rani'

July 30 marked the 20th anniversary of the beloved romantic comedy 'Mujhse Shaadi Karogi,' starring Priyanka Chopra, Akshay Kumar, and Salman Khan. Directed by David Dhawan, the film has become a cult favorite among cinephiles for its memorable characters and comedic flair.

To mark the occasion, Priyanka Chopra took to Instagram, sharing a throwback photo with her co-stars Akshay and Salman. In her post, she playfully reflected on her character, Rani, and even poked fun at her past style choices, particularly her eyebrows, captioning the image, "20 years of being Rani! Woah! Those brows tho."

'Mujhse Shaadi Karogi' unfolds in the vibrant setting of Goa, where the plot revolves around the comedic rivalry between Sameer (Salman Khan) and Sunny (Akshay Kumar) as they compete for Rani's (Priyanka Chopra) affection. Sameer, a lively young man, finds himself pitted against his mischievous roommate Sunny, who goes to great lengths to disrupt Sameer's romantic pursuits. The film's humor and engaging storyline have ensured its place as a classic in Bollywood's comedy genre.

The film also featured unforgettable performances, such as Kader Khan's portrayal of Duggal Sahab, which became an internet meme sensation. In a previous interview, the writer revealed that Duggal Sahab was inspired by director Rahul Rawail's father's best friend, known affectionately as Ridku uncle. This character, described as "2.5 feet tall," had appeared in other classic films like 'Mere Mehboob' and 'Mehboob Ki Mehendi.'

Another interesting anecdote from the film's production involves Rajpal Yadav's beloved character. Producer Sajid Nadiadwala insisted on including Yadav in the cast, promising him a significant role despite the initial lack of a defined character for him. Ultimately, Yadav played a dual role, including a gang leader, originally intended for Vindu Dara Singh, showcasing his versatility and adding to the film's charm.

As 'Mujhse Shaadi Karogi' hits this milestone, Priyanka Chopra continues to make waves in the industry with an exciting slate of projects. She is currently filming 'The Bluff' in Australia, directed by Frank E. Flowers. Additionally, she is set to star alongside John Cena and Idris Elba in 'Heads of State.'

The enduring appeal of 'Mujhse Shaadi Karogi' lies in its timeless humor, unforgettable characters, and the chemistry between its leads.
