The film was released 18 years back on October 19, and Dia thought back the adventure. "First are always special but 'RHTDM' is a film that was ahead of its time and packaged romance in a beautiful story. Apart from being a memorable start to my acting career, it has given me lifelong relationships and friendships that I cherish every day. Even now, it is difficult to believe it has been 18 years since we shot the film," said Dia.
