Deol shared a series of pictures from the film on his 'Instagram' handle on Monday as he expressed his gratitude to the audience.
"25 years ago, 'Gadar' and Tara Singh conquered your hearts. 25 saal se pyaar ke rishte ki gaddi chall rahi aur aage bhi chalti hi rahegi," he wrote in the caption.
He added, "Thank you all for giving all of us 25 years of abundant love and for making us stay in your hearts. Hope we keep staying there."
