DDLJ turns 25, Shah Rukh Khan changes his Twitter name to Raj Malhotra
Shah Rukh Khan in a still from 'Dilwale Dulhania Le Jayenge'
One of Bollywood's most iconic films 'Dilwale Dulhania Le Jayenge' turned 25 on Tuesday. Directed by Aditya Chopra, the film made everyone fall in love with Raj and Simran 25 years back. So it was befitting for superstar Shah Rukh Khan to change his Twitter profile name to Raj Malhotra in order to mark the special day.
The 54-year-old star has also changed his profile picture to Raj from DDLJ.
In the profile picture, SRK is seen sporting the iconic black leather jacket, with a brown shirt and a black hat adorned with feathers, as he smilingly poses for the lens.
Reminiscing about the DDLJ shooting days, Shah Rukh Khan got nostalgic and posted -- a special clip both on his Instagram and Twitter profiles -- some memorable glimpses from the classic hit.
SRK noted, "25 years!!! Filled with gratitude towards you for loving Raj & Simran, with all your heart. This always feels special. #DDLJ25@yrf."
