While speaking about re-releasing Yeh Dil Aashiqanaa, Aruna stated that she is taking a chance on only one thing, which is the film’s relevant subject. She said, “I am taking a chance only on one thing. I saw my film at the trial once again, and after watching it, I told Kuku Kohli ji that I think we can re-release it. Kuku ji always wanted to re-release Yeh Dil Aashiqanaa, but I was not ready initially.”
