While borders may separate India and Pakistan, the two nations share a deep cultural connection, particularly when it comes to fashion, music, and DDLJ.. Duh!
The powerful influence of Bollywood in Pakistan, especially during wedding celebrations, highlights this bond.
Over the past few years, the exchange of cultural love has become increasingly evident. Indian women have developed a strong affinity for Pakistani dramas, while fans in Pakistan have embraced Bollywood films with equal enthusiasm.
Bollywood songs are a staple at Pakistani weddings, where popular tracks like Mehendi Hai Rachne Wali and Delhi Wali Girlfriend set the dance floor alight. Some brides even take their admiration for Bollywood to the next level by incorporating themes from their favorite films into their wedding celebrations.
One such bride, Eishi, recently captured hearts when she recreated a scene from the iconic Bollywood film Dilwale Dulhania Le Jayenge (DDLJ) on her wedding day. The photos, shared by Pakistani photographer Arslan Arshad, show Eishi running towards her groom, Fardeen, who is waiting on a train. This scene pays homage to the famous climax of DDLJ, where the character Simran, played by Kajol, chases after Raj, portrayed by Shah Rukh Khan, as he departs on a moving train.
