Dharmendra's 1975 film Pratiggya clocked 45 years on Sunday. Celebrating the film, Dharmendra shared several video clips from the movie featuring himself and his Pratiggya co-star and wife Hema Malini. In one of the video clips, which is of the song Uth Neend Se Mirzia Jaag Ja, Hema Malini and Dharmendra can be seen dancing together. The evergreen song, which is still a favourite, was sung by Lata Mangeshkar and Mohammed Rafi. Sharing the video clip, Dharmendra wrote, "Mirza, mard aashiq... jiska naam Sahibaan se pahle liya jaata hai . Warna , Heer Ranjha ...Laila Majnu.... tarteeb kuchh yoon ho jaati hai."
