“Bade Bade Deshon Mein, Aisi Chhoti Chhoti Baatein Hoti Rehti Hain, Senorita! Thrilled to unveil the bronze statue of Raj & Simran at Leicester Square today, celebrating 30 years of DDLJ. A big thank you to everyone in the UK for making this possible. Come meet Raj & Simran whenever you’re in London—we’d love to see you make more memories with DDLJ.”
Kajol’s Heartfelt Words
Kajol reflected on the legacy of Simran, saying:
“It doesn’t feel like 30 years have passed. For me, Simran represents millions of Indian girls—rooted in tradition yet yearning for freedom. That’s why she continues to resonate. Every time someone says ‘Ja Simran, ja’, it reminds us that courage and love can live together.”
