Raj and Simran are two of the most recognizable characters in Hindi cinema history, thanks to Shah Rukh Khan and Kajol's classic Dilwale Dulhania Le Jayenge (DDLJ). Kajol was recently asked what Raj and Simran might look like in today’s world, and her response was a bitter pill for ardent DDLJ fans, serving as a reflection of modern dating culture.
During a conversation with The Indian Express, Kajol shared, “Raj and Simran would not exist today. They would WhatsApp each other and make sure they had four other options. Simran would have a Harish, Sanjay, and others on a dating line, and Raj would have the same. I don’t know if Raj and Simran as a love story can exist today.”
Even after 29 years since its premiere, ‘Dilwale Dulhania Le Jayenge‘ is still playing at Mumbai's Maratha Mandir theater, making it the longest-running movie in Indian cinema history. The love drama marked Aditya Chopra's directorial debut and star Shah Rukh Khan and Kajol in the key parts. Shah Rukh and Kajol had collaborated on films before DDLJ, including Baazigar and Karan Arjun, but it was DDLJ that made their on-screen duo famous. The duo went on to deliver more cult films like Kuch Kuch Hota Hai, Kabhi Khushi Kabhie Gham, and My Name is Khan.
On the work front, Kajol will be next seen in ‘Do Patti’. The film, which also stars Kriti Sanon, is set to release on Netflix on October 25. Kajol also has interesting projects like Sarzameen, Maharagni – Queen of Queens, and Maa in her kitty.
