An “unforgettable reunion at Jalsa.” In case you are wondering what we are talking about, here’s what happened. On Thursday, Riteish re-tweeted a fan’s post celebrating 39 years of Amitabh Bachchan‘s 1981 film Yaarana. The post featured a photo from Big B’s “Unforgettable Tour,” in which he can be seen dancing with son Abhishek, daughter-in-law Aishwarya Rai Bachchan, Preity Zinta and Riteish Deshmukh at a concert in Trinidad. Singers Vishal Dadlani and Shekhar Ravjiani also performed at the aforementioned show during the tour in Trinidad.
