A Candid Peek Into the Past

A few hours after the reunion, Preity Zinta took to Instagram and shared a selfie with Bobby and Tanya. Her caption, both playful and heartfelt, offered a glimpse into a story fans had never heard before.

She revealed how she had been there right from the beginning - from the night Bobby met Tanya at a Diwali party to the days they shot Soldier in Australia. The twist? The trip also doubled as Bobby and Tanya’s honeymoon - with Preity tagging along as their “third wheel.” 

Her caption read, “I was there as the third wheel who they entertained wholeheartedly!” she wrote with affection. “Time has flown by, but my love for both of them has only grown.” (sic)

Fans instantly fell in love with her honesty, celebrating her post as a reminder that friendship, not fame, is what truly endures in Bollywood.

Revisiting the Magic of Soldier

Preity’s revelation reignited fond memories of Soldier (1998), the blockbuster that not only made her a household name but also turned Bobby into one of the most-loved heroes of the decade. With chartbusters like Soldier Soldier and Mere Dil Jigar Se Guzri Hai, the film became a pop-culture time capsule of that era.

Their on-screen spark continued years later with Jhoom Barabar Jhoom (2007) and Heroes (2008), proving that their charm wasn’t just a ’90s phenomenon - it was timeless.
