The fact that Dilwale Dulhaniya Le Jayenge is one of the most-loved films of Hindi cinema, can be explained by the fact that it is still running in a Mumbai theatre, even after 24 years. There are numerous iconic scenes in the movie, be it the when Amrish Puri lets Simran (Kajol) go and catch the train and unite with Aryan (Shah Rukh Khan) or the dialogue, ‘Palat’, many other moments are still fresh in the minds of almost every Hindi cinema lover. However, there are many other aspects of the movie that only those who’ve watched it multiple times can recollect. One of them is Kajol wearing glasses and having a book in her hand on the poster or that scene in the train where Raj flirts with Simran in the train as she tries to read. As the iconic film completed 24 years on Saturday, Kajol chose to recreate this aspect about the film, sharing that her glasses and the love for reading were still an important part of her life even today.
