Kajol and Shah Rukh Khan, who are celebrated for their on-screen chemistry, have delivered several blockbuster hits together, including the iconic Dilwale Dulhania Le Jayenge, which recently celebrated 30 years. To mark the 24th anniversary, Kajol and Shah Rukh Khan unveiled a bronze statue of their legendary characters, Raj and Simran, at Leicester Square in London, giving fans another way to cherish the film’s enduring legacy.
This milestone highlights not just the popularity of the movie, but also the lasting cultural impact of Kabhi Khushi Kabhie Gham, reminding fans of its timeless story of family, love, joy, and emotional depth that continues to resonate even after more than two decades.
