"The best film in the world", "all time favourite romantic sagas", "magical", "epitome of romance" are some of the words that celebrities like Anupam Kher, Shraddha Kapoor, Ayushmann Khurrana and Riteish Deshmukh have used to mark the 20 years of Bollywood's cult classic "Dilwale Dulhania Le Jayenge" (DDLJ).

Directed by Aditya Chopra, "Dilwale Dulhania Le Jayenge", which released on October 20, 1995, starred Shah Rukh Khan and Kajol as Raj and Simran. The film also featured Mandira Bedi, Anupam, Amrish Puri and Farida Jalal.

Many other Bollywood celebrities including Parineeti Chopra, Nimrat Kaur, Arjun Kapoor and Kriti Sanon took to Twitter to express their feelings about "Dilwale Dulhania Le Jayenge" and its 'iconic jodi' Shah Rukh and Kajol, who will next be seen together in Rohit Shetty's "Dilwale".
