Shah Rukh Khan's Jawan has been making headlines and for all the right reasons. Amid the film's stellar reviews and box office success, a character from the film started trending big time. We are talking about Ridhi Dogra's character Kaveri Amma from the film. Ridhi Dogra stars as SRK's adoptive mother and former women's prison jailer in Jawan. Of course, the Internet was quick to get the Swades reference in the film. For those who don't know, Kaveri Amma remains a beloved character played by the late film veteran Kishori Ballal in Shah Rukh Khan's 2004 film Swades. She was the mother-figure in scientist Mohan Bhargav's life.
"When SRK called you Kaveri Amma in Jawan in that scene, I literally bawled in the theater, a user wrote. Ridhi Dogra, who starred as Kaveri Amma in Jawan, replied, "And I cried in my heart."
Of course the Internet got the Swades reference. "That Swades reference in Jawan. #KaveriAmma #ShahRukhKhan," read a post.
More Swades references incoming.
"Ridhi Dogra now I understand why SRK always says Ammi jaan kehti thi... lol," another user wrote referring to SRK's Raees dialogue.
