Throwback: When Shah Rukh Khan and Kajol melted Malayalam hearts during ‘Dilwale' promotions
It was the winter of 2015 when Bollywood's golden pair,
Shah Rukh Khan
and
Kajol
, made their much-awaited return to the silver screen with
Dilwale
. But beyond the film's release, it was a special moment during the promotions that left a lasting impression—especially on their
Malayali fans
.
After five years apart on-screen, SRK and Kajol were back—bringing not just nostalgia, but a wave of excitement that swept across the country. And when the duo appeared on Mazhavil Manorama, a popular
Malayalam
TV channel, hearts across Kerala skipped a beat.

'I shall sing and sing and die of heartbreak.'
The crowd was visibly moved.
Kajol, not to be outdone, followed with a sweet Malayalam phrase of her own:
'Ente kochu muthalaly,' which translates to 'Oh my young lord.'
It wasn't just a promotional gimmick—it was a sincere, emotional gesture. In those few seconds, SRK and Kajol bridged the gap between Bollywood and Kerala with nothing but words, warmth, and genuine respect for their audience.
A Glimpse Back at Dilwale
Directed by Rohit Shetty, Dilwale brought together action, romance, drama, and a touch of comedy. Shah Rukh played Raj, a reformed gangster, while Kajol took on the role of Meera, the daughter of his enemy. Their love story, once shattered by betrayal, rekindled amid chaos and car chases.
While the film itself was crafted for mass appeal, it was the return of SRK and Kajol's electric on-screen chemistry that made Dilwale feel like a reunion of hearts—both for the characters and for their fans.
