“Kuch kuch hota hai Rahul, tum nahi samjhoge” – Anjali from ‘Kuch Kuch Hota Hai’
There is undeniable magic in this line from the timeless classic ‘Kuch Kuch Hota Hai’. Played by Kajol, Anjali’s heartfelt confession, despite it being shrouded in unspoken love, struck a chord with audiences. The line “Kuch kuch hota hai Rahul, tum nahi samjhoge” isn’t just a dialogue; it’s a poignant reflection of unexpressed emotions. For an entire generation, this line became emblematic of the trials and tribulations of unrequited love.
“Rahul is a cheater. He is a cheater, he is a cheater, CHEATER” – Anjali from ‘Kuch Kuch Hota Hai’
Another memorable line also comes from ‘Kuch Kuch Hota Hai’. During an intense basketball game, Rahul (played by Shah Rukh Khan) cheats to win. Anjali’s (Kajol) repeat declaration of “Rahul is a cheater” became an instant classic, catching the zeitgeist of playful yet earnest accusations. Every time someone gets accused of cheating in a game today, these iconic words ring true in echoes of laughter and camaraderie.
“Aisa pehli baar hua hai satrah athrah saalon mein, andekha anjaana koi aane laga khayalon mein.” – Simran from ‘Dilwale Dulhania Le Jayenge’ (1995)
‘Dilwale Dulhania Le Jayenge’ or DDLJ remains one of Kajol’s most beloved films. Her portrayal of Simran, the quintessential girl-next-door, garnered immense love and acclaim. This particular dialogue is delivered when Simran confesses to herself about her nascent feelings for Raj (played by Shah Rukh Khan).

“Bade mazaki ho… Bade mazaki ho” – Anjali from ‘Kabhi Khushi Kabhie Gham’ (2001)
‘Kabhi Khushi Kabhie Gham’, popularly known as K3G, has cemented its place as a favorite guilty pleasure. One of Kajol’s memorable lines from the film is her light-hearted, teasing remark, “Bade mazaki ho… Bade mazaki ho.” This line is often used to humorously express disbelief over someone’s antics, further reinforcing Kajol’s knack for delivering lines that become part of daily life lingo.
“Lucknow da kurta, Pathani salwar… tab lage mard, varna lage bekaar”
This line from K3G sees Kajol’s character, Anjali, cheekily remarking on Rahul’s fashion choices.
