Indian Cinema's Most Celebrated Love Story Honoured As Part Of The BFI's LOVE Season!
Continuing its 20th year celebrations, Dilwale Dulhania Le Jayenge (DDLJ) witnessed a special screening extravaganza at the iconic BFI in London as part of its romantic season - LOVE: FILMS TO FALL IN LOVE WITH...FILMS TO BREAK YOUR HEART' in partnership with Plusnet.
This special screening of DDLJ took place on Saturday 7th November at BFI Southbank. The BFI's LOVE season is currently celebrating a broad spectrum of romantic films and TV gems from the swooning silent era to the present day. The DDLJ extravaganza was featured alongside a wider curation of Hollywood melodrama, British period drama and European erotic thriller. Aditya Chopra's DDLJ starring superstars Shah Rukh Khan & Kajol was showcased as The Brave-hearted Will Take the Bride' and was the only lead Indian title at the BFI screening.
As part of this very special 20th anniversary screening, a nationwide search for UK's very own Raj & Simran was also held in conjunction with Asian TV channel B4U and BFI, to uncover a special Raj and Simran jodi with their own unique love story against the odds. The winning couple, Pahul Ahluwalia and Rahul Sharma of East London were welcomed onstage and gifted with hampers of DDLJ memorabilia and collector's item merchandise while they paid homage to the iconic screen looks of the film's lead stars.
And it was none other than the superstar Shah Rukh Khan himself who regaled the audience and winners with an extraordinarily delightful and charming video message completing the amazing experience of this special celebration!
