9th July 2023,Mumbai: With her series Kafas on Sony Liv, Preeti Jhangiani is back on television. The actor previously starred in a popular music video before making her feature film debut in Aditya Chopra’s Mohabbatein. The video, Chui Mui Si Tum, has resurfaced on Twitter and is giving kids from the 1990s nostalgia.
A journalist posted the video on Twitter, where it received numerous responses from music fans. “#PreetiJhangiani is back in the news, now serving as the President of People’s Armwrestling Federation India,” stated the tweet. And now I’m going on a trip down memory lane to remember how Preeti, then 17, rose to fame overnight thanks to the Rajshri music release Yeh Hai Prem (1997), a complete family tale! #Abbas #ChhuiMuiSiTum.”
In the video, Abbas was portrayed as a young man spending the weekend with his family when he notices the neighbour, represented by Preeti. She finally falls in to his advances while he is still there, smiles, and even gives him a tiny koala teddy bear clip. After watching this film, millennials would understand why these teddies sold like hotcakes. In addition to JD and Sudha Chandran, the video also features JD.
Twitter rejoiced in discovering the sentimental video once more. “Oh, I’d forgotten about this. I appreciate you bringing back those memories. What a fury this song and this music video became. It was like the golden age of independent music. I believe cinema music had lost its allure for a while before Rahman brought it back,” one person wrote. “The charm & cuteness on her face!” Another person wrote, “Back then, the little teddy bear became a great merch rage.” “Preeti Jhangiani was always going to make it to the top league, in my opinion. He was handsome, commanding, and voiced well. Why did it go wrong? When she appeared in the movie ‘Mazhavillu’, she also gained fame in Kerala”, a commenter added.
Preeti spoke about the video in a January interview. “I started out with big production houses, right from my first music video with Rajshri Productions to my film debut with Yash Raj Films,” the actress stated. “My experience as an actress has also been fantastic. I had the good fortune to work with the largest names and banners despite never coming from the industry. Even my Telugu debut with Pawan Kalyan was a replica of Jo Jeeta Wo Sikander. I collaborated with a lot of other well-known actors, such as Sanjay Dutt, Suniel Shetty, Govinda, and JP Dutta.”
The Pro Panja League, whichh focuses on arm wrestling, is currently operated by Preeti and her husband, fellow actor Parvin Dabas.
