Kajol marked 24 years of Kabhi Khushi Kabhie Gham with a social media post that reminded audiences why the film still holds emotional value. Released in 2001 and directed by Karan Johar, the family drama brought together Amitabh Bachchan, Jaya Bachchan, Shah Rukh Khan, Kajol, Hrithik Roshan and Kareena Kapoor Khan.

Taking to Instagram, Kajol shared two photos celebrating her character Anjali. One image featured her in Anjali mode, while the other showed the complete cast. Along with the pictures, she wrote, “To all the Anjalis out there, keep being loud and proud! Rahul is out there somewhere but he might be late because of traffic #KabhiKhushiKabhieGham #24years.” The post struck a chord with fans.

The comment section quickly filled with reactions. One fan wrote, “I love Anjali because it was my first Bollywood film and she captivated me forever. I can’t imagine anyone other than you.” Another added, “The caption yes we are like Anjali n I love this movie.” The responses reflected how strongly viewers continue to associate Kajol with the role.

Kabhi Khushi Kabhie Gham was a major box office success and later achieved cult status. Its themes of family conflict and reconciliation helped it connect with audiences.

Meanwhile, Kajol reunited with Shah Rukh Khan in London for another milestone linked to Hindi cinema history. The duo unveiled a bronze statue of Raj and Simran at Leicester Square to mark 30 years of Dilwale Dulhania Le Jayenge. The event was attended by Kajol’s children Yug and Nysa Devgan.

After the unveiling, Shah Rukh Khan took to X to share his reaction. He wrote, “Bade Bade Deshon Mein, Aisi Chhoti Chhoti Baatein Hoti Rehti Hain, Senorita! Thrilled to unveil the bronze statue of Raj & Simran at London’s Leicester Square today, celebrating 30 years of Dilwale Dulhania Le Jayenge (DDLJ)! Incredibly delighted that DDLJ is the first Indian film to be honoured with a statue in the Scenes in the Square trail. A big thank you to everyone in the UK for making this possible. Come meet Raj & Simran if and when you are in London… we would love to see you make more memories with DDLJ…”
