Since its release in 1995, Dilwale Dulhania Le Jayenge has established itself as a staple for the romantics, even those who were not yet alive when the film first graced the big screen. However, despite how well Raj and Simran's love story resonates with the youth of today, Simran herself begs to differ.

As per The Indian Express, Kajol was asked about how well the story would translate in today's world. "Raj and Simran would not exist today. They would WhatsApp each other and make sure they had four other options. I don't know if Raj and Simran as a love story can exist today," she bluntly answered.

DDLJ's impact on Indian cinema has been immense. The Shah Rukh Khan and Kajol-starrer was listed as the longest-running film in the history of Bollywood in 2001, surpassing the iconic Sholay, as per Rediff. The story follows Raj and Simran as they navigate the thrills of young adulthood and find love during a vacation in Europe – a connection that they fight for till the end despite the familial constraints threatening their love story.
