As hit romantic film Chalte Chalte clocks 17 years, actor Rani Mukerji on Saturday remembered shooting for the film with Shah Rukh Khan and said that the film is one of her favourites. "Working with Shah Rukh has been one of my favourite things! It was Shah Rukh's production and it was the first time I had visited Greece, Mikonos, and Athens, which is a fun memory for me. The beautiful blue and white houses was a landscape which I had not seen before," she said.

"The island was just amazing to stay and shoot. Athens also has such stunning architecture, such heritage, so many things which speak of history! We had a very nice outdoor during Chalte Chalte," she added.

The 42-year-old actor gave India the big trend of smokey eyes through Chalte Chalte and she credits celebrity make up artist Mickey Contractor for his vision to create something completely new and stunning for her. "I remember smokey eyes becoming a huge rage during the release and everyone kind of adopted that style of makeup. Mickey and me today also chat about it and he says that Rani had you not trusted me with doing those eyes for you, the look probably would have come much later," the Mardaani actor said.

"I am so glad that I went ahead and the makeup in Chalte Chalte has always been one of my favourites ever and smokey eyes became something that was very synonymous with," Rani added.

"It's one of the best production houses. I really miss working with Shah Rukh's production because he takes such special care," she added.
