As Rehan Qadri, he initially presents himself as the quintessential, fast-talking Delhi tour guide—a man who speaks entirely in flirtatious shairi (poetry) and disarms everyone with effortless charm. He is the ultimate guide to the city, yet a complete stranger to himself.
Before Fanaa , Aamir Khan and Kajol had only shared the screen briefly in Ishq (1997), but never as a romantic pair. Director Kunal Kohli pulled off a casting coup that fans had dreamed of for years.

The second half of Fanaa is where the film earned its title (Urdu for "annihilation" or "to be destroyed"). Rehan returns to Kashmir for a nuclear strike mission. When Zooni discovers his true identity—that the father of her child is a man responsible for the death of her friends and the destruction of her homeland—the film transforms into a Greek tragedy. It forces the ultimate question: Can love survive betrayal by blood?
At its heart, Fanaa tells the story of two opposites. Zooni Ali Beg (Kajol) is a spirited, blind Kashmiri woman whose world is one of sound and emotion.

While 90s Bollywood frequently featured obsessed lovers (like Shah Rukh Khan in Darr ), Fanaa introduced a modern anti-hero whose threat was political rather than purely psychological. Rehan loved Zooni genuinely, yet his commitment to his extremist cause never wavered, offering an uncompromised look at radicalization. The Ultimate Sacrifice
