Bollywood flashbacked 20 years ago when Parineeta released and its makers got together to celebrate the big event.
Parineeta was directed by the late Pradeep Sarkar and starred Vidya Balan in her debut role, along with Saif Ali Khan, Sanjay Dutt, Dia Mirza and Raima Sen.
While the male stars stayed away, the women had their fun and even did the dhunuchi naach.

Dia Mirza has been a big part of Vidhu Vinod Films, making cameos in Lage Raho Munna Bhai and Sanju.

Rekha was 51 when she grooved to Kaisi Paheli Zindagani in Parineeta, and looked as striking as ever.
