Shah Rukh Khan and Kajol-starrer Dilwale Dulhania Le Jayenge (DDLJ), completes 25 years today. On this occasion, a bronze statue of SRK and Kajol will be unveiled in London. The statue will be displayed at Leicester Square as a part of Scenes in the Square movie trail.

Directed by Aditya Chopra, DDLJ shattered all box office records and is one of the biggest blockbusters in the history of Hindi cinema. It also went on to become the longest-running Hindi film as it has played in theatres for 25 long years. Shah Rukh says, “What worked for Raj and Simran on screen was basically the pure friendship that Kajol and I shared off-screen. It was all so organic. We didn’t really plan scenes.”

The Tribune, now published from Chandigarh, started publication on February 2, 1881, in Lahore (now in Pakistan). It was started by Sardar Dyal Singh Majithia, a public-spirited philanthropist, and is run by a trust comprising five eminent persons as trustees.

The Tribune, the largest selling English daily in North India, publishes news and views without any bias or prejudice of any kind. Restraint and moderation, rather than agitational language and partisanship, are the hallmarks of the newspaper. It is an independent newspaper in the real sense of the term.

The Tribune has two sister publications, Punjabi Tribune (in Punjabi) and Dainik Tribune (in Hindi).
