The recent Diwali party turned out to be a big gossip word by the guests because of the eventful interactions. Bobby Deol and Preity Zinta had not met for many years, but the designer Manish Malhotra’s party brought them together, and their hug turned out to be a recall of the late 90s.
The Moment Everyone Waited For
At last, the party was the place, and the time was right when Bobby and Preity met after years of their association and without beating about the bush rushed for a very tight hug. Bobby Deol was accompanied by his spouse, Tania Deol, whereas Preity was quick to include her in the snaps, with the camera’s clicking and the photographers being on high alert.
The look of Bobby Deol was eminent, a maroon velvet kurtawith intricate detailing, whereas the diva was wearing an Anarkali in white. But what was more noticeable was the fact that both of them looked and felt so at ease and happy.
Their friendship chain goes back to 1998 when the two were working together in Soldier, a romantic action movie, which was second only to the top grosser of the year. They come together again for Jhoom Barabar Jhoom in 2007.
In the video, it is clearly seen that Preity even humorously hit Bobby Deol in the stomach with her fist before they snapped together, thus displaying their closeness over the years.
Social Media Goes Crazy
The world was so excited that they started commenting on every single post about the meeting. Someone even claimed that no one could possibly hate Preity because she was just too cute. Ramesh Taurani, the producer, was continually asked by many to get both of the stars for Soldier 2.
The fans could not help but go down the memory lane showing the films that were made together. There were songs from Soldier, the ones that are still being heard, that some indicated. Others spoke about Jhoom Barabar Jhoom’s Kiss Of Love, the track that got them both. The feedback was tremendous on various platforms from people who were sharing their nostalgic feelings about the time of their favorite pair being together again.
Here’s what made the reunion so special for fans:
- Their chemistry in Soldier made them one of the most loved pairs of the 90s
- The songs from the film remain popular even today
- They always maintained a genuine friendship off-screen
- Both actors have stayed relevant through different career phases
What’s Next For The Stars
Bobby is on a winning streak. After the blockbuster Animal with Ranbir Kapoor, he made his presence felt in Aryan Khan’s web series lately.
His transformation into an actor that keeps returning to the fold has been really great. Bobby Deol’s wealth at the moment is ₹66 crores. His fee per movie today is approximately between ₹4 and ₹6 crores.
Preity is set to make her comeback with Lahore 1947, where she will be paired opposite Sunny Deol. This will be her major return to the films after being involved in family matters.
She shifted to Los Angeles with her husband Gene Goodenough and is a mother to twins, Gia and Jai. Her fortune is around ₹183 crores. She earns approximately ₹1.5 to ₹2 crores from each brand partnership.
The Soldier 2 Talk
Producer Ramesh Taurani, who was really optimistic about the sequel, had actually confirmed previously that Soldier 2 shooting would begin in 2025. However, he also added that the casting of Bobby Deol and Preity would hinge completely on how the story turns out.
After their reunion at the Diwali party, the excitement for the couple to be together again has become even bigger.
The first Soldier was a great success for both the actors. For Preity, it turned out to be one of the first significant releases even though she had already started shooting for Kya Kehna before it.
The movie was the turning point for both the lead actors to become known to everybody. And now, they expect the same charm to be back.
Business Success Beyond Films
Preity has built a strong business empire outside of acting. She became co-owner of Punjab Kings (formerly Kings XI Punjab) in 2008 by putting in ₹35 crore. That smart move has paid off as the team’s value grew from 76 million dollars to 925 million dollars. She’s often seen at matches cheering for her team.
Both actors have made smart choices with money over the years. Preity owns multiple homes including a ₹17 crore apartment in Mumbai’s Pali Hills area and a ₹7 crore house in her hometown Shimla. She also has a place in Beverly Hills where she currently lives. Bobby Deol owns properties too and has built a comfortable life through consistent work.
Why This Reunion Matters
The entertainment world keeps changing but some connections stay strong. Bobby Deol and Preity showed that real friendships last. Their warm interaction reminded everyone why they loved watching these two together. The genuine happiness on their faces wasn’t fake or forced.
For anyone who grew up watching 90s films, this reunion felt personal. Soldier came out 27 years ago, yet people remember it like it was yesterday. That’s the kind of effect good films and real chemistry create. Both actors have gone through different phases in their careers, but this moment brought back all those memories.
Khelofun users and everyone else following Bollywood news couldn’t stop sharing this story. The videos went viral within hours of posting. Manish Malhotra’s party had many stars, but Bobby Deol and Preity’s reunion became the highlight. Even Khelofun discussions were filled with people hoping for Soldier 2 announcement soon.
Looking at their current projects and success, both actors are in great shape professionally. Bobby Deol’s comeback has been one of the best in recent times. Preity’s business skills have shown she’s more than just an actress. Together, they could create something special again if Soldier 2 happens with them.
