Twenty-five years after the film was released on October 20, 1995 — the editor remembers being impressed by the chemistry between Shah Rukh Khan and Kajol, who played out the iconic Raj-Simran romance on screen and became two of the biggest stars of their generation.

Shah Rukh also was in his usual style, the way he is always,” Naidu, now 75, told .
