MUMBAI: Commemorating the 30th year of the iconic film "Dilwale Dulhania Le Jayenge" (DDLJ), Shah Rukh Khan and Kajol unveiled the bronze statue of their characters Raj and Simran at London’s Leicester Square.
"DDLJ" is the first-ever Indian film to be honoured with a statue at Leicester Square, joining other cult characters from historic films, such as Harry Potter, Mary Poppins, Paddington, and Singin' in the Rain, as well as Batman and Wonder Woman.
Reacting to this latest feather in the cap, King Khan revealed that he had no idea that "DDLJ" would become this phenomenon.
"I’m very fortunate to have been part of cinema like this and very grateful. I think none of us, to be honest, had any idea DDLJ would become this in people’s hearts. I am sure Adi (Aditya Chopra) and all felt it would be a good film and everybody would like it, but I don’t think anyone would have ever imagined what it became and what it stands for, " SRK shared.
