Sharing the video on social media, Zareen wrote, "Oh my Goddd! Came across this video and the memory is still so fresh. I clearly remember this moment it’s from the premiere of the movie RACE. Thanks to a friend who got us passes, we were able to experience the magic first-hand".
She added, "At that point, I was just a wide-eyed fan, never imagining I’d one day be a part of the film industry. But look at how happy I am in this video, a total fangirl grinning from ear to ear, getting an autograph from the woman I thought was and is breathtakingly beautiful! beautiful! #BlastFromThePast #Nostalgia #ZareenKhan.
