'It has been 30 years, but it just feels like yesterday,

- Shah Rukh Khan

It has been 30 years, but it just feels like yesterday, said Shah Rukh Khan while looking back at his memorable performance as Raj in 'Dilwale Dulhania Le Jayenge' and Kajol believes her character of Simran still resonates with viewers as it represents millions of young women in India.

'Dilwale Dulhaniya Le Jayenge' (DDLJ), directed by Aditya Chopra and starring Shah Rukh Khan and Kajol, redefined modern romance in Indian cinema, making its characters Raj and Simran immortal in the hearts of many film lovers. It is also the longest-running movie in Indian cinema, with viewers still lining up at the ticket window to catch a show at Mumbai's famed Maratha Mandir.

As the film recently marked its 30th anniversary, its iconic lead pair, Shah Rukh and Kajol, reflected on the timeless magic of DDLJ. Shah Rukh credited the film's success to the pure heart with which Aditya Chopra and his producer father, Yash Chopra, made it.
