Shah Rukh Khan & Kajol Immortalized in Bronze as DDLJ Turns 30
Mumbai– Bollywood legends Shah Rukh Khan and Kajol took over London’s Leicester Square as they unveiled a bronze statue of their iconic DDLJ characters, Raj and Simran, marking the film’s 30th anniversary.
The sculpture — the first-ever tribute to an Indian film in Leicester Square — now sits alongside Hollywood greats like Harry Potter, Mary Poppins, and Batman. A beaming Shah Rukh said the honor proves why the 1995 romance still owns hearts worldwide. “DDLJ was made with a pure heart,” he said. “It’s part of my identity, and seeing it celebrated like this is incredibly emotional.”
Kajol called the moment “surreal,” saying the unveiling felt like stepping back into the movie that defined a generation. “For DDLJ to be honored this way in the U.K. is something fans everywhere will cherish,” she said.
YRF CEO Akshaye Widhani said the milestone underscores the film’s global impact and the studio’s mission to carry Indian stories worldwide.
DDLJ — the tale of two young NRIs who fall in love across Europe and India — remains Hindi cinema’s longest-running film and a cultural touchstone for South Asians across the globe. The statue caps off a year of 30th-anniversary celebrations, including a recent U.K. stage musical, Come Fall In Love.
Aryan Khan’s Middle-Finger Moment in Bengaluru Pub Sparks Online Frenzy
Bengaluru– A viral video from a Bengaluru pub has landed Aryan Khan back in the spotlight, showing the Bollywood star kid flashing his middle finger at onlookers during a night out.
Aryan — who entered the pub with Kannada actor Zaid Khan and Congress leader Mohammad Nalpad — was first seen smiling and waving at the crowd. But seconds later, he appeared to flip off onlookers, setting off a fresh wave of social-media chatter.
Police sources say the incident happened on November 28 at a popular Ashoknagar-area pub. Oddly, the clip never drew attention from the Bengaluru Police’s cyber-monitoring unit, which usually acts fast on viral videos involving the general public.
Cops have yet to comment officially, and more details are still unclear.
Aryan was in the city to promote his brand and was spotted meeting fans and local actors. Additional clips from the event also went viral, showing him stepping out of a car surrounded by heavy security and later waving to cheering fans from a balcony.
The 27-year-old entrepreneur and filmmaker — son of Shah Rukh Khan and Gauri Khan — previously made headlines in 2021 after his arrest during an alleged cruise-ship rave raid. He spent 25 days in Mumbai Central Prison before securing bail.
