Kajol, who played the leading lady in the film, went down memory lane and shared some fun moments from the set. The actress reminisced about the time when her car broke down and she had to climb uphill in snowy terrain, that too, at night. She also recalled a scene where she had to wear a short skirt and ride a horse.

The actress wrote on her social media handle," Having to walk nearly 1.5 km uphill in the dark in the snow because the car got spoilt at the bottom of the hill and our hotel was at the top and NO CELLPHONES! Riding a horse in an itsy bitsy skirt and thinking my hat would at least cover my face!!!
The song 'Hothon Pe Bas Tera Naam Hai' would be a hit romantic number of the time, but Kajol says that Saif Ali Khan and she laughed their heads off while shooting for the song. She wrote, "#Saif and me laughing our heads off when we were shooting hothon pe bas and #Sarojji wanting to shoot us instead of the film."

She revealed that Akshay Kumar had proven his culinary prowess on the set as well. "So much fun on this set.. and all the small memories. @akshaykumarboasting about his cooking skills and finally making us a simple but amazing Dal (sic)."
