Read All The 10 Reasons Below..
A Guy Who Is A Best Friend To His Father
Didn't we love the equation of Raj (Shahrukh Khan) with his dad in Dilwale Dulhania Le Jayenge except the fact that he (Raj's father) told 'Fail Hona Ghar Ki Parampara Hai' and celebrated his failure!
From A Flirt To A 'One Woman' Man
Raj was one flirty guy who left no chance to hit on beautiful girls! But once he encountered the love of his life, he changed hismelf into a one woman guy and there was only 'Simran' for Raj since then.
In Spite Of Being A Spoilt Brat, He Knew The Word RESPECT!
There's
no
denying
that
the
definition
of
love
has
changed
and
there're
many
relationships
out
there,
which
is
a
mere
physical
attraction.
But
coming
to
Raj,
he
never
let
his
physical
desire
come
out
in
front
of
Simran
and
rather
wooed
her
with
honesty
&
respect.
(Remember
that
dialogue:
"Main
Ek
Hindustani
Hoon..Aur
Main
Jaanta
Hoon
Ki
Ek
Hindustani
Ladki
Ki
Izzat
Kya
Hoti
Hai")
Raj Didn't Choose The Wrong Way To Marry Simran
There comes a point in every lover's life, when family is against the idea of love marriage. Raj & Simran faced it too. But unlike Simran, Raj stuck to his principle till the end and he didn't abscond with her. (Here, we all lost our heart to Raj, didn't we?)
Raj Left No Stones Unturned To Impress Simran's Dad
We girls are the angels of our fathers! So, any guy out there, who wants to marry the girl he loves, should know how to woo her parents. (It's a must thing to do!) It might be possible that you won't be successful all the time but hey, we're surely gonna respect you for your efforts forever and end up falling for you even more.
Not Just Dad But Every Family Member
Being nice costs nothing yet it makes a lot of difference. Didn't we love how Raj made each and every family member his fan? From Simran's mom, bua, daadi to her sister, all the ladies of the house went gaga over him!
Raj Showed Us That Men Can Fast Too
We don't find the idea of observing a fast for an entire day quite romantic. But if we've a boyfriend like Raj, who also observes the fast for your long life, then we might give it a shot! What say?
Thankfully, Raj Was Unaware Of The Word 'Boring'
Don't we all want a boyfriend, who is a fun lover, a little naughty and damn romantic? Raj had all that qualities and with Shahrukh's charm, the character has made a special place in our heart! *blush blush*
A Guy Who Calls His Girl With A Special Name
'Hey, Senorita'. Throughout the film, Raj called Simran with this special name and we simply loved that! Isn't that an act of love to call your girl with a special name, which noone knows?
Below Is One Of The Most Heartbreaking Dialogues From DDLJ, which you might wanna re-read again..
"Toh kya hua agar maine jhooth sirf tumhe paane ke liye kaha tha? Toh kya hua agar tumhare chehre ke siva mujhe koi aur chehra dikhayi nahi deta? Toh kya hua agar tumhare naam ke siva mujhe koi aur naam yaad nahi rehta? Toh kya hua agar yeh awara tumhe deewano ki tarah pyar karta hai? Toh kya hua? Pyaar sab kuch toh nahi hota na..."
