Actress Preity Zinta skipped her breakfast and was starving during the shoot of Dil Chahta Hai song Jaane Kyon Log Pyar in Sydney, she said in a social media post on Thursday. Dropping a still from the shoot, Preity said she imagined a chocolate croissant while looking at the camera when the photo was taken.

“I still remember the moment this photo was taken. We were shooting the song Jaane Kyu log pyar karte hai in Sydney. Once the shoot was over I was asked to do a few still/photos. I made a face & said I’m starving. Can we do this later? Someone said, It will only take a second. Just look at the camera & think of a yummy chocolate croissant …. And that’s exactly what I did when this photo was taken 🤣,” the 49-year-old actress wrote on Instagram.

Directed by Farhan Akhtar and produced by Ritesh Sidhwani under the banner of Excel Entertainment, Dil Chahta Hai, released in 2001, explored friendship, love and self-discovery. The ensemble cast also included Aamir Khan, Akshaye Khanna, Saif Ali Khan, Dimple Kapadia, Mandala Tayde, Kiran Rao and Sonali Kulkarni.

“This photo always reminds me of enjoying & appreciating the little things that bring us so much Joy ❤️,” the actress signed off.

Preity recently attended the two-day IPL auction in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia, as the co-owner of Punjab Kings.

On the work front, she is gearing up for her return to the big screen with Lahore 1947, where she will star alongside Sunny Deol and Shabana Azmi. Directed by Rajkumar Santoshi, Lahore 1947 reunites Sunny and Preity, who have previously worked together in films such as Dillagi (1999), The Hero: Love Story of a Spy (2003), Yeh Raaste Hain Pyaar Ke (2001), Farz (2001) and Heroes (2008).
