Shah Rukh Khan and Kajol Immortalized in Bronze at London’s Leicester Square

A bronze statue of Shah Rukh Khan and Kajol has been unveiled in London’s Leicester Square on the 30th anniversary of Bollywood’s timeless love story, Dilwale Dulhania. The statue, made in the iconic style of the 1995 film, has now been added to the ‘Scenes in the Square’ movie trail. The 4 December event became an emotional moment, like a festival for Bollywood fans.

Historic Statue Unveiling

The statue has been installed on the East Terrace of Leicester Square. There are also statues of world-famous movie characters like Harry Potter and Mary Poppins here. Now Raj-Simran have found a place next to them. The organizers said that this is the first statue of Indian cinema to be installed here. As a result, the global impact of DDLJ has become more clear.

Rainy Wait

It was raining heavily in London at the time of the unveiling. But still, hundreds of fans waited for two hours. Many stood under umbrellas hoping to catch a glimpse of the film’s heroes. In the video, Shah Rukh is seen holding an umbrella for Kajol. The statue, which was soaked in the rain, also became the center of discussion. Finally, the ceremony was completed in a grand atmosphere.

Legacy of DDLJ

After its release in 1995, DDLJ earned $32 million worldwide. It is still running regularly at the Maratha Mandir in Mumbai. The love story of Raj and Simran has won the hearts of international audiences. A musical called ‘Come Fall in Love’ has already been staged based on this film. As a result, the popularity of the film has not waned even after thirty years.

Feelings of Shah Rukh and Kajol

Shah Rukh Khan said that the unveiling of the statue in London is like going back to that special moment in history. He said that DDLJ was made to tell a love story. On the other hand, Kajol said that Simran is an integral part of her life. She said that the deep love people have for the film even after three decades is truly incredible.

London’s Respect and Reaction

The Heart of London Business Alliance said that Shah Rukh and Kajol are two superstars of international cinema. Therefore, their statues are a source of pride for London. The production company Yash Raj Films also described it as a great achievement for Indian cinema. The organizers believe that this statue will attract numerous tourists to Leicester Square in the future.
