Kajol drops stunning ‘Dilwale’ BTS pics with Shah Rukh on film’s 9th Anniversary
Kajol reminisces about her time on the sets of 'Dilwale' with Shah Rukh Khan, sharing behind-the-scenes photos to celebrate the film's 9th anniversary.
In a recent interview with The Indian Express, acclaimed actress Kajol shared her candid thoughts on the Indian festival of Karwa Chauth, particularly reflecting on its portrayal in the iconic 1995 film ‘Dilwale Dulhania Le Jayenge’ (DDLJ).
Known for her role as Simran, Kajol expressed that she often found herself at odds with her character’s choices, especially when it came to the tradition of fasting for one’s husband.

When asked about Simran’s decision to fast for Raj, played by the ever-charismatic Shah Rukh Khan, Kajol was clear about her feelings: “I didn’t agree with Simran in a lot of places. Bhookha kisko rehna hai? I don’t understand why people have to starve themselves. Who likes to starve?”

On the professional front, Kajol is going to star in an upcoming romantic thriller alongside Kriti Sanon and Shaheer Sheikh, while Shah Rukh Khan gears up to start filming for ‘King’, which features his daughter, Suhana Khan. Following this, SRK is expected to dive into the much-anticipated ‘Pathaan 2’.
‘Dilwale Dulhania Le Jayenge’ has remained a cultural touchstone since its release on October 20, 1995. Directed by Aditya Chopra, the film tells the story of Raj and Simran, two young NRIs who find love during a European vacation, only to face the hurdles of familial expectations and tradition.
