Yash Chopra’s film of kindred spirits charts the romance between Veer Pratap Singh ( Shah Rukh Khan ), an Indian Air Force pilot, and Zaara Hayat Khan ( Preity Zinta ), the daughter of a powerful Pakistani politician who is rescued by Veer after her bus falls into a gorge in India. And in the last fifteen years, it has acquired a reputation for being one of Hindi cinema’s most tragic and persevering tales of romance – a testament to the sheer stubbornness of love. ![]() Veer-Zaara, at least for the ’90s kids, is an evergreen love story.
