And just like that, the King of Romance, Shahrukh Khan, has completed 30 years in Bollywood. 30 years of teaching us how to love, 30 years of showing men it’s okay to cry, 30 years of making us feel all types of emotions, 30 years of his iconic pose (see below) and redefining romance for us.
As a 90’s kid, the first-ever semblance of romance for me was watching Shahrukh Khan standing in a mustard field, singing for his Simran with his arms wide open. It was when he was telling Naina how much he loved her while pretending to read it from Aman’s blank diary.
Apart from his immaculate acting skills, it was Shahrukh Khan who revamped romance for Bollywood. His films, his iconic dialogues, and his songs are all testament to the fact.
Thus, to pay a tribute to his 30-year-long legacy, we have handpicked (with love) 7 dialogues that redefined romance for us & are etched in our hearts forever!
1. “Pyaar tou bohat log karte hain, lekin mere jaisa pyar koi nahi kar sakta kyunke kisi ke paas tum joh nahi ho” – Kal Ho Naa Ho
Haye! The diary scene in Kal Ho Naa Ho was everything! When saying ‘I love you’ is too cliche!
2. “Ham aik hi bar jeete hain, aik bar martay hain, shaadi bhi aik hi bar hoti hai…aur pyaar bhi aik hi bar hota hai’ – Kuch Kuch Hota Hai
How many times have you these your dialogues when your friends ask you to get over your ex?
3. “Main aaj bhi us’say utni hi mohabbat karta hoon. Aur isliye nahi ke koi aur nahi mili… par isliye kyunke us’se mohabbat karne se fursat hi nahi milti” – Mohabbatein
Mohabbatein taught us what true love really is!
4. “Raj agar yeh tujhe pyaar karti hai tou yeh palat ke dekhay gi. Palat…palat” – Dilwale Dulhania Le Jayein Gay
If you have never done this with your crush then are you even from this planet?
5. “Sarhad paar aik aisa shaks hai jou aapke liye apni jaan bhi de de ga” – Veer Zaara
This dialogue from Veer Zaara has a separate fan base!
6. “Mujhe dar tou bohat si cheezoun se lagta ha, par sabse zyada dar tumhein kho dene ke khayal se lagta hai” – My Name is Khan
Relatable for all the lovebirds out there, yeah?
7. “Teri aankhon ki namkeen mastiyaan, teri hasi ki beparwah gustakhiyaan, teri zulfoun ki lehrati angraiyaan, nahi bhoolunga main, jab tak hai jaan, jab tak hai jaan” – Jab Tak Hai Jaan
Uff, invoke your inner Shahrukh Khan fan and say this to your loved today!
Which one is your favourite? Tell us! And if we missed your favourite dialogue then tell us that too!
