Feel the magic? This photo proves that SRK-Kajol are Bollywood's best jori

E-Paper | May 20, 2026

It's been a while since we've seen Shah Rukh Khan romance Kajol on screen, so the hero obliged us with a grainy reminder of what they look like together.

Shot against the sun setting on the Black Sea, the photograph's dramatic effect is heightened by the props SRK improvised: a hat for himself and a malmal scarf for Kajol for the requisite 'flowing in the wind' effect.

The photo isn't just a treat for the fans; Shah Rukh meant to pay tribute to their Dilwale director Rohit Shetty and his team, with whom they are shooting in Bulgaria:

Rohit shetty's movie are just mass entertainer. No story, no acting only comedy and action. This movie will definitely be the scar on this pair's successful record. All past movies of these two were hit / blockbusters bcoz of good story and acting but this film will be huge disappointment. SRK has lost his magic that is why he is currently featuring in movies like chennai express and happy new year just to make ticket counter ringing.

I am an Indian and I feel ashamed when I watch some Indian films (esp. Rohit Shetty's). Please Pakistan, Make very nice films so that these over hyped actors and directors understand what film is meant for and show them that having an industry doesn't mean quality films.But yes don't strive to become like Bollywood, instead take inspiration from Iranian film industry. Low budget but still better quality than 'majority' of Indian films.

Not expecting anything memorable from Rohit Shetty. There is nothing special about this picture. Seems to have been taken with a cell phone. The pair is now old. That coupled with SRK's below average acting will surely make this production a swan song for oth actors.

I will be 35 in a month and had such a nice feeling when I saw this photo, but the whole mood changed after I reviewed the comments which showed prejudice towards their ages. I do feel the frustration of seeing the same monotony of roles by these actors who just would not budge in. Nevertheless, that is the the way things are and you and I shall keep that going.

Bollywood is a inspiration for all. Today not only pakistan actor or actress wanna part of it but also the hollywood actors and actress want to work in bollywood. Bollywood is magical industry, we love movies. We even watch and listen to indian music/movies, then why we criticize Bollywood. A movie is entertainment.

@Ahmed I agree with you but sadly this film will again reach 250 crore collection.. I too very disappoint with recent films of SRK & Rohit Setty's movie. Now a day's South Indian Film is far far better than Bollywood movie I think. Bollywood making 80% movies copied from south.
