On 25 years of DDLJ, actor Parmeet Sethi got nostalgic

The film completing 25 years is a like a fairy tale. We knew it is a beautiful and simple film but none of us had ever imagined that it will be the most successful film ever. Being Kuljeet has made a big difference in my life. I wasn’t at all skeptical while choosing the role despite knowing it’s a little grey shaded character because I knew it will be a game changing moment for me. Initially, director Aditya Chopra has signed someone else for the role but I convinced him to let me give it a shot and the rest is history. I am overwhelmed and privileged to be part of the DDLJ family.
