Shah Rukh Khan and Kajol starrer Dilwale Dulhania Le Jayenge is an iconic Bollywood film of all time. Directed by Aditya Chopra, the romantic-drama film immortalizes the story of Raj and Simran.
While every aspect of the film is enjoyed and celebrated to the core, let’s accept Kajol’s character of Simran was one of a kind. Read ahead to know why we think she was relatable.
7 reasons that prove Kajol’s Simran from Dilwale Dulhania Le Jayenge is your alter-ego
1. You love dancing
What else to say, we were introduced to Simran as a girl who enjoys dancing to the core. From dancing in her towel day-dreaming about the man of her dreams to getting high after some shots to Zara Sa Jhoom Loon Main, we could see her unabashed love for dance.
2. Firm believer of true love
Remember the scenic view picturized on Shah Rukh Khan’s Raj and Kajol’s Simran in the mustard fields when he asks her if she has faith in him and loves him? She says, “Sabse zyada, Khudse bhi zyada” What else do you want? She has a core belief in her lover and that they would win over all the obstacles, come what may.
3. You value your family as much as you value your love
The beauty of Simran’s character that contributed largely to its iconic status has to be this. As much as she loved Raj, she valued her family too. She wanted to be with the love of her life but only with her family’s consent. Such honesty is finally acknowledged by her strict father too as he tells her, “Jaa Simran jaa, jee le apni zindagi!”
4. You finally end up finding your way
Related to the aforementioned point, we are also reminded of her quality to find her way out. From convincing her father for her trip to Europe to Raj over Parmeet Sethi’s Kuljeet, she surely took some bold decisions and ended up finding her own way for what she wanted.
5. You know what you want in life
It won’t be wrong to say that one needs to have clarity in their lives about what they want. Contrary to that, only a few people actually can boast of such a quality. Right from the beginning, Simran comes across as a sorted person who knows what she wants in her life.
She was peculiar about her choice of boy and the reason she wanted to take a trip to Europe; and it is kind of rare.
6. You’re a badass
As much as you are old school and emotional at heart, you also believe in ‘my way or the highway’, nothing in between. You are a total savage personality who knows well to shut up a random boy hitting on you.
7. You’re a day-dreamer
Just like Simran, have you also daydreamt about the man of your life singing Mere Khwabon Mein Jo Aaye to actually admitting to being in love with Ho Gaya Hai Tujhko? Though when one is in love, hands down there is nothing stopping from being in reverie but in the case of Simran it was just too OTT as she wanted him to come and take her with him. Can you also relate?
Needless to say, the character of Simran has stood the test of time and remains fans’ favorite.
Can you also relate to any one of these qualities that Kajol’s character embodied in the film?
