Dilwale Dulhania Le Jayenge aka DDLJ has been one of the iconic films of the 90s era starring Shah Rukh Khan and Kajol. The millennial trend of memes has not spared it either. With gifs and vines all over social media, the lead protagonist Kajol who essayed the role of Simran speaks on the famous railway station scene with Amrish Puri’s epic dialogue, “ja Simran ja, jee le apni zindagi.”

In an interview with the Huffington post, the Dilwale actress revealed how they shot the famous scene and, apparently, it wasn’t easy. With the scorching heat and the train taking 20 minutes to come back for a retake, getting cranky and having her hair messed up was worth it. She says, “Honestly, we were worried about the heat and getting cranky, my hair was frizzling out, the train wasn’t moving at the right speed that it should have. We couldn’t do retakes because the train had to go ahead and come back which would take some 20 minutes. It was a mess. Actually, Raj should have just pulled the chain instead of making me run like a crazy person. In hindsight, of course, it’s become an iconic scene but I can’t take any credit for it. It’s all Adi (director Aditya Chopra).”

In Aditya Chopra’s beautiful NRI romance, DDLJ revolves around Kajol’s Simran and Shah Rukh’s Raj meet on a humdrum train journey. On a trip to Europe cupid strikes and they realise its love. But Simran tries to get past her true feelings and agrees to marry an Indian to honour her father’s wishes.
