On October 20, 1995, Mumbai's Maratha Mandir cinema hall began screening the then-new film Dilwale Dulhania Le Jayange. 1000 weeks later, it still is. DDLJ, as it is fondly known, is the longest-running Bollywood film ever - having outstripped Sholay long ago - and its lead actors, Shah Rukh Khan and Kajol, were on TV show Comedy Nights With Kapil on December 1 to celebrate the 1000 week milestone.
SRK and Kajol, who played lovebirds Raj and Simran in the film, seemed as smitten by each other as they were 19 years ago.
Kajol, a dream in white Shantanu and Nikhil, was the clear object of SRK's and show host Kapil Sharma's affections. Both men went down on their knees to her.
They also struck SRK's signature pose - almost.
