Sharing a heartfelt note, Rao reflected on the film's enduring charm, memorable music and iconic characters, adding that "they don't make films like these anymore."

"Today on Main Hoon Na Anniversary, send this Reel to someone who holds a special place in your heart and tell them - MAIN HOON NA," she concluded.

For the uninitiated, Amrita Rao played the fearless, blunt yet kind Sanjana in the Shah Rukh Khan-starrer.

The movie's soundtrack continues to be one of its biggest strengths of the movie, with songs like Tumse Milke, Chale Jaise Hawaayein, Gori Gori, and the title track becoming chartbusters.

From its action sequences to dance choreographies and cinematography, Main Hoon Na received great reviews for it all.

The movie, along with Amrita Rao, also starred Shah Rukh Khan, Sushmita Sen, Zayed Khan, Bindu, late Satish Shah, Boman Irani, and Naseeruddin Shah.

Actor Suniel Shetty essayed the role of a negative character.

Released in 2004, Main Hoon Na marked Farah Khan's directorial debut after being a phenomenal choreographer, and went on to become a massive box office success.
