In 1995, Aditya Chopra’s film Dilwale Dulhania Le Jayenge revolutionized Indian romantic cinema. Celebrating its 30th anniversary this year, Pooja Ruparel, who portrayed Chutki, shared her thoughts on the captivating bond between Shah Rukh Khan and Kajol while filming.
In a recent interview, Pooja described the duo’s dynamic as akin to “fire and water.” She stated, “My relationship with SRK began with King Uncle. His life transformed after Deewana. Meeting him again, he remained humble—a true sign of a gentleman. An intelligent and generous person.”
She continued, “Kajol embodies the spirit of a confident feminist. Her energy was infectious. Witnessing two actors—both involved with others—create such palpable chemistry was mesmerizing. They could portray a perfect romance, yet seamlessly revert to friendship once the cameras stopped rolling. It was a remarkable experience for someone like me.”
Released on October 20, 1995, under the direction of Aditya Chopra and the Yash Raj Films banner, Dilwale Dulhania Le Jayenge features Shah Rukh Khan as Raj Malhotra and Kajol as Simran Singh. The film narrates the love story of two young Indians in London who face cultural challenges that test their romance. It holds the record for being the longest-running film in Indian cinema, screening continuously at Mumbai’s Maratha Mandir theater for three decades.
