Preity Zinta walked down memory lane as Kal Ho Naa Ho completed two decades since its release. The actor, who played one of the lead characters Naina in the film, received much love for her performance. Preity shared the video of the song titled Soni Banno Chan Si Chamke on her feed and wrote an emotional note. Preity called the film, "saddest happy film" of her career. She also paid a tribute to the late producer Yash Johar, who was an integral part of the film. Preity wrote in the caption, "Kal Ho Naa Ho was the saddest happy film I did. Nothing can replace those memories and I will forever be grateful to Yash Uncle for making this incredible film. It was the last time he was on set. There will never be anyone like you Yash Uncle. You took a piece of my heart with you when you left. This film will forever remind me of you. Thank you from the bottom of my heart. I will forever love you."
