The 30th anniversary of the iconic Bollywood film Dilwale Dulhania Le Jayenge became a memorable evening of nostalgia, warmth and unexpected surprises. The special celebration, held to honour three decades of the timeless love story of Raj and Simran, brought Shah Rukh Khan and Kajol together once again. Fans were already emotional seeing the legendary pair recreate their magic, but the biggest highlight came from Kajol’s children, Nysa Devgn and Yug Devgn.
As Shah Rukh Khan and Kajol unveiled a bronze statue dedicated to their characters, the crowd was taken by surprise when Nysa and Yug appeared at the event. They were dressed in outfits inspired by Raj and Simran from the original film, creating a wave of nostalgia that deeply touched fans and media alike. Their presence added a beautiful layer of generational continuity, showing how the influence of DDLJ extends far beyond its original era.
For many, this felt like a symbolic moment. Seeing the children of one of the lead stars pay tribute to a film that shaped Indian romance on screen connected the past with the present in a remarkable way. The tribute not only honoured the characters but also celebrated the cultural impact that DDLJ has had on Indian cinema and audiences worldwide.
Shah Rukh Khan, visibly emotional, expressed gratitude for the love the film has received for three decades. He mentioned how DDLJ has remained relevant because it represents a form of love and storytelling that touches the heart across generations. Kajol also reflected on the film’s magic, saying that while many films come and go, DDLJ continues to live in people’s memories with the same freshness it had in 1995.
The presence of Nysa and Yug also created a heartwarming family moment for Kajol, who was seen smiling proudly as her children honoured a film that has been an important part of her legacy. Fans appreciated how naturally the pair embraced the tribute, making the celebration even more meaningful.
As the statue stood tall, symbolising the everlasting charm of Raj and Simran, the event reminded everyone why DDLJ remains one of the most loved films of all time. It is not just a love story, but an emotional experience that continues to bind generations together.
The 30th anniversary celebration was more than an event. It was a reminder of how cinema, memories and emotions often return to us in the most unexpected and beautiful ways.
