As the 2007 family drama Apne clocked 18 years since its release, Bollywood actor Shilpa Shetty looked back at the emotional journey of the film.

The Dhadkan actor marked the film's anniversary by sharing a special video on her Instagram Stories.

The video showed scenes from the film, including clips of Shilpa with veteran actor Dharmendra and co-stars Sunny Deol and Bobby Deol.

It was set to the film's emotional track Apne To Apne Hote Hain, adding to the nostalgia.

Directed by Anil Sharma, Apne was the first time the veteran actor Dharmendra appeared on screen with both his sons.

Shilpa Shetty played a key role in the sports drama, which focused on a former boxing champion, Baldev Chaudhary (played by Dharmendra), who wanted to restore his lost honour through the success of his sons, Angad (Sunny Deol) and Karan (Bobby Deol).

The film also starred Katrina Kaif and Kirron Kher. The film showcased Dharmendra's warmth as a father and his undiminished star power, proving that even after decades in the industry, he could still captivate audiences.

Apne hit theatres in June 2007 and received a lot of praise from the audience.

On the work front, Shilpa was last seen in Rohit Shetty's web series Indian Police Force, in which she played a police officer. The series also starred Sidharth Malhotra and Vivek Oberoi in lead roles and premiered earlier this year on Prime Video.
