    • Trivia
      Was supposed to be Shahrukh khan's debut film but Deewana 1992 was released first
    • Goofs
      In a flashback, Sunil and Barkha had a romantic relationship, and it's implied that Sarita is their daughter. However, at the end of the movie, there's no reconciliation between Sunil and Barkha, and Sunil doesn't acknowledge Sarita as his daughter. Instead, they interact as though they are mere acquaintances.

    Lace it up!!

    Dil Aashna Hai review :

    Directorial debut of Hema Malini; Dil Aashna Hai which released in last week of 1992 was badly affected by the Hindu Muslim riots at that time. This was the first film SRK signed but Deewana released first in June 1992. Both had the pretty Divya Bharti as his heroine. Dil Aashna hai was loosely based on British TV series Lace (1984) which is about a call girl searching for her real mother. Interestingly, Hema Malini used the same story with few changes and made Tell Me O Khuda in 2011 with her daughter Esha Deol.

    I saw Dil Aashna Hai on its very first day on VHS and found it an okey dokey fare. SRK and Divya had great onscreen chemistry which was evident in Deewana also. The older stars like Jeetendra, Mithun, Dimple and Amrita were wasted though!!

    Regards, Sumeet Nadkarni.
