The Filmfare Awards 2025 turned into a time capsule as Bollywood’s most cherished on-screen pair — Kajol and Shah Rukh Khan — revived the enchantment of the 1990s, both during their live appearance and across social media platforms.
The legendary duo didn’t just receive the prestigious Filmfare Icon Awards; they also moved audiences to tears with a memorable tribute performance honoring their unforgettable films — Dilwale Dulhania Le Jayenge and Kuch Kuch Hota Hai. Clips from their act quickly spread across the internet, with admirers hailing it as “a throwback to cinema’s golden age.”
Following the event, Kajol posted an emotional comparison on social media, featuring an old photograph of herself and SRK cheerfully posing with their Filmfare trophies from years past — perfectly echoed by a contemporary image of them proudly displaying their latest Black Lady statuettes. Her caption read: “That was then. This is now… Most epic throwback ever!! Thank you @filmfare for my 7th black lady.”
Filmmaker Karan Johar couldn’t resist adding to the wave of nostalgia, sharing on his story: “Love you both so much!!! Thank you for making my memories so beautiful … @kajol @iamsrk”
He followed up with another enthusiastic message: “Dittoooooo… back atcha both @iamsrk and u @karanjohar even tho he wasn’t on stage @manishmalhotra05.”
Dressed in coordinated black ensembles, the pair demonstrated exactly why they continue to embody the gold standard of on-screen romance — a partnership that has only grown richer with time.
The significance of this reunion is amplified by milestone anniversaries: DDLJ marks its 30th year this month, while Kuch Kuch Hota Hai celebrates 27 years since release. After all these decades, their magnetism, friendship, and cinematic influence remain unmatched.
