On the 20th anniversary of Bollywood blockbuster ‘Mohabbatein’, superstar Amitabh Bachchan on Tuesday said that he was grateful for the continued love the film has received over the years.

“Parampara, Pratishtha, Anushasan .. Mohabbatein is special for many reasons .. 20 years of this beautiful love story, a roller coaster of emotions. Eternally grateful for all the love you continue to shower,” Bachchan wrote on Twitter.

The 78-year-old actor, who played the iconic Narayan Shankar, the strict principal of an all-boys college, transitioned from playing a hero to characters his age with this film.

‘Mohabbatein’ was the first onscreen collaboration between Bachchan and Shah Rukh Khan. The romantic-drama also revived Bachchan’s career after a drop in the 1990s.

Released on October 27, 2000, the biggest hit of the year also starred Aishwarya Rai, Uday Chopra, Shamita Shetty, Jugal Hansraj, Kim Sharma, Jimmy Shergill and Preeti Jhangiani in lead roles.
