And somehow, every look ends up in pop culture history. Shah Rukh Khan's 5 most iconic looks that live in our heads rent-free(Pinterest) From cardigan-wearing charmers to full-blown gangsters in designer shades, here are 5 unforgettable SRK looks that shaped our style sense, our romantic fantasies, and our outfit inspo for years to come. 1. The sweater-over-shoulders vibe – Mohabbatein 1. The sweater-over-shoulders vibe – Mohabbatein(Pinterest) Ah, Raj Aryan Malhotra; music teacher, hopeless romantic, and king of the cardigan. SRK made layering sweaters over shirts look like the uniform of emotionally mature, poetry-loving dreamboys. Bonus points if the sweater was beige and the shirt crisp white. The look screamed "strict school with soft boy energy." 2. Leather jacket and cowbell – Dilwale Dulhania Le Jayenge 2. Leather jacket and cowbell – Dilwale Dulhania Le Jayenge (Pinterest) Raj's brown leather jacket + charm + cowbell combo is practically the national uniform of Indian romance. Whether he was sipping wine in Europe or waiting at the train station, this look became a whole identity. SRK didn't just wear that jacket — he built a cinematic legacy in it. 3. Sharp black suits and killer sunglasses – Don 3. Sharp black suits and killer sunglasses – Don(Pinterest) You can't talk SRK fashion without bowing to Don. The man turned every tailored black-on-black suit into a power move. Add some designer shades and a smirk, and you had a style that meant serious business (and possibly international crime). Nobody looked this good being bad. 4. Rahul's rich-boy casual – Kabhi Khushi Kabhie Gham 4. Rahul's rich-boy casual – Kabhi Khushi Kabhie Gham(Pinterest) White-on-white, sweater tied around shoulders, designer sunglasses inside the house—SRK as Yashvardhan's heir gave us the most stylish NRI wardrobe ever. No one's pulled off a shawl over a kurta quite like this K3G legend. He made luxury look so effortless, you forgot he was mourning his brother's absence (kinda). 5. New York street smart – Kal Ho Naa Ho 5. New York street smart – Kal Ho Naa Ho(Pinterest) Red turtlenecks. Long overcoats. That iconic '6 din, ladki in' hoodie. Aman Mathur in Kal Ho Naa Ho was the perfect blend of warm, witty, and wearable. If he was running along the Hudson or cracking jokes in a bookstore, his wardrobe was every urban desi's winter dream. Shah Rukh Khan didn't just give us characters, he gave us closet goals. From Swiss Alps to Soho, his looks are stitched into the fabric of Indian pop culture. And while trends may come and go, these SRK fits? Eternal.

Farah Khan Prepares To Welcome Kajol, But Not Without A Hilarious Twist
Last Updated: Kajol is currently busy with the promotion of the upcoming mythological horror film Maa. Farah Khan's home was buzzing with excitement. The reason? She and her cook Dilip, who have been capturing hearts on the internet with their fun cooking vlogs, invited none other than the ever-charming Kajol to their place. The house looked beautiful, the table was laid out, and Farah and Dilip eagerly waited for their guest to arrive. But that did not happen. What followed next was nothing short of hilarious. As the video began, Farah informed her cook that Kajol would soon arrive at their place. Dilip, keeping up with the fun, told her that he knew about their special guest, and that's why he had opted to dress like Shah Rukh Khan in Dilwale Dulhania Le Jayenge with a ukulele in his hands. Right after their playful interaction, Farah told him that Kajol had arrived and then opened the main door. To their surprise, or rather shock, a woman from Kajol's PR team appeared. And as the bell rang again, with hope of welcoming the actress this time, Farah opened the door only to meet with Kajol's bodyguard. Following this, the two welcomed the 50-year-old actress's manager, social media manager, assistant, and makeup artist. With no sign of Kajol, the two were left upset as they couldn't meet Kajol. The real twist comes when the video cuts to outside the apartment, where Kajol is seen repeatedly ringing the doorbell, with no one answering her from the other side. At last, Kajol was seen screaming 'Farah" at the top of her voice, leaving everyone in splits. Farah shared the video on her Instagram account on Tuesday, June 24, captioning it, 'When Kajol came home but really didn't bechaara Dilip.. maybe he l meet her when #Maathefilm releases n she cms to celebrate on our YouTube channel #Maaintheatres27thjune." View this post on Instagram A post shared by Farah Khan Kunder (@farahkhankunder) FYI, Kajol is counting down the days until the release of her highly anticipated mythological horror film, Maa. She has been going all out for the promotion of the movie, which is scheduled to be released on June 27. Besides Kajol, the Vishal Furia-directed film features Kherin Sharma, Indraneil Sengupta, Ronit Roy, Jitin Gulati, Surjyasikha Das, Gopal Singh, Yaaneea Bharadwaj, and Roopkatha Chakraborty. As for Farah and her cook Dilip, the two have been successfully running a cooking-based show on YouTube, where they either visit or invite celebrity guests to their home. First Published:
