Kajol celebrates 28 years of Dilwale Dulhaniya Le Jayenge

Today, October 20, marks 28 years since the release of Dilwale Dulhania Le Jayenge, starring Shah Rukh Khan and Kajol. The timeless film continues to be regarded as a milestone. Together, the two have brought countless hits to the screen, including My Name Is Khan, Kabhi Khushi Kabhie Gham, and Kuch Kuch Hota Hai. In honour of DDLJ's 28th anniversary, Kajol posted a video clipping from the film.

It shows on-screen Simran in her embellished green lehenga and then transitions to a present-day Kajol in a lemon green saree. In the caption, Kajol wrote, “Still wearing green but maybe not the same shade... 28 years later DDLJ belongs to you guys…” Kajol also shared a picture of the iconic Swiss cowbell from the film with autographs of herself, Shah Rukh Khan, and Aditya Chopra. The last pic featured Simran's stunning green lehenga, displayed at the Nita Mukesh Ambani Cultural Centre (NMACC) in Mumbai.

Kajol's note added, “All our fans and people who have made it a legacy that lives on far beyond what we could have ever imagined. Big shout out to all of you.” Kajol's latest Instagram entry received big love from her industry friends. 

Released on October 20, 1995, Dilwale Dulhania Le Jayenge featured Kajol and Shah Rukh Khan in the lead roles. The film, which marked Aditya Chopra's directorial debut, truly stood the test of time. 

The movie had a great run at the box office and went on to become the highest-grossing Indian film of 1995. It also won the National Film Award in the Best Popular Film Providing Wholesome Entertainment category. The film is also the longest-running movie in the history of Indian cinema as it is still being shown at Mumbai's Maratha Mandir.
