Actor Sharib Hashmi has revisited his memories of the 2012 romantic drama Jab Tak Hai Jaan, recalling his first audition, his experience working with Shah Rukh Khan and the opportunity to be directed by the late filmmaker Yash Chopra.
Marking 14 years of the film, Hashmi, who played Zain in the movie, shared a series of memories from his association with the project in a social media post.
Looking back at the early stages of his journey, the actor recalled receiving his first call from casting director Shanoo Sharma and auditioning with scenes from Rab Ne Bana Di Jodi. He also remembered the audition for Zain’s breakfast scene, his first day on the sets and working at Yash Raj Films’ studio.
Among the moments that stood out for him were being directed by Yash Chopra, sharing his first scene with Shah Rukh Khan and appearing alongside co-stars Katrina Kaif and Anushka Sharma.
Hashmi also recalled receiving appreciation from Aditya Chopra and a moment when he reminded music composer A.R. Rahman of legendary singer Kishore Kumar.
The actor further remembered the film’s premiere, which was attended by members of the film industry, and the affection it received from audiences after its release.
In his post, Hashmi concluded by expressing how deeply the experience had stayed with him, repeating the film’s iconic title, “Jab Tak Hai Jaan”.
Released in 2012, the film featured Shah Rukh Khan as Samar Anand, an Indian Army officer, Katrina Kaif as Meera and Anushka Sharma as Akira Rai, a documentary filmmaker whose life becomes connected with Samar’s story.
The film holds a special place in Hindi cinema as it was Yash Chopra’s final directorial venture. Released shortly after his death in October 2012, the romantic drama became one of the notable Bollywood releases of that year.
