As the film Dilwale Dulhania Le Jayenge (DDLJ) approaches its 30th anniversary, its central narrative continues to be discussed. The plot follows Raj (Shah Rukh Khan) and Simran (Kajol), who fall in love during a European trip. Upon their return, Raj commits to securing the blessing of Simran's father, Bauji (Amrish Puri), for their marriage, specifically vowing against elopement and instead seeking his 'aashirwad' (blessing). The film notably depicts Bauji as a figure of significant parental authority, with the storyline culminating in his eventual consent for the couple, famously articulated through the dialogue 'Jaa Simran, jee le apni zindagi' (Go Simran, live your life). This portrayal emphasizes the pursuit of familial approval within its romantic framework.
