Celebrating three decades of *Dilwale Dulhania Le Jayenge*, one of the most cherished romances in Indian cinema, Kajol reflects on the film’s lasting significance. “I feel humbled by the connection fans have created with this movie,” she states.
Kajol emphasized that they never set out to create a legacy. “We just aimed to make a good film. It’s incredible how fans have made it part of their traditions,” she adds.
Many fans have shared how the film became a part of their love stories, passing it on to their children as a way of connecting generations. “That’s a beautiful part that I cannot take credit for,” Kajol remarked.
*DDLJ* maintains an impressive record, showing at Mumbai’s Maratha Mandir for thirty years. Kajol acknowledges this phenomenon, thanking fans for their continual support in making it a life staple. “It’s such a joy to know it’s part of your lives,” she affirms.
As she thinks about her role as Simran, Kajol is clear about her feelings: “I wouldn’t change anything about Simran. The film resonated with the sentiments of its time, and altering any aspect would shift its magic.”
Kajol expressed her respect for the context in which *DDLJ* was created, reflecting on how different the narrative would be in today’s world. However, she believes the film’s essence should remain untouched.
