New Delhi: Shah Rukh Khan and Kajol, the much-loved Raj and Simran of the romantic blockbuster ‘Dilwale Dulhania Le Jayenge’, unveiled a bronze statue in London to mark the film’s 30th anniversary.
The bronze statue, featuring Shah Rukh and Kajol’s signature pose from the iconic film, was unveiled at Leicester Square in London.
“It doesn’t feel like it’s been 30 years since ‘Dilwale Dulhania Le Jayenge’ released. It feels like it happened yesterday because ‘bade bade deshon mein aisi choti choti baatein hoti rehti hain….’ but it still feels unbelievable. I’m truly grateful for all the love that I have received from people from across the world for playing Raj – nobody could have foreseen the kind of place the film made in the hearts of people around the world and I will never forget the moment when everyone started to come…see the film and fall in love,” Shah Rukh had said in a statement.
“There’s a piece of DDLJ in almost every romantic film that came after it, because somewhere, history was made and it never quite left us. For me, Simran is a chapter that refuses to end. She represents millions of girls across this country – girls who want to do what their parents say, who carry tradition in one hand but still reach out for freedom with the other. That’s why she still resonates. Every time someone says, ‘Ja Simran, ja’, it signifies the belief that courage and love can coexist,” Kajol had shared.
Directed by Aditya Chopra, ‘Dilwale Dulhaniya Le Jayenge’ is the longest-running movie in Indian cinema with movie goers still lining up at the ticket counter to catch a show at Maratha Mandir in Mumbai.
