The talented actress has openly expressed her desire to star in romantic films reminiscent of the iconic works of Shah Rukh Khan, often referred to as the “King of Romance.”
In a previous interview, Rakul stated her wish to act in films like Dilwale Dulhania Le Jayenge (DDLJ), Kuch Kuch Hota Hai, and Yeh Jawaani Hai Deewani. These films are known for their heartwarming love stories and memorable romantic moments, and Rakul is eager to bring such magic to the screen. Her admiration for Shah Rukh Khan’s work reflects a broader sentiment among many actors in Bollywood, who see him as a benchmark for romance in cinema.
Rakul also shared a personal moment from her life, where she met Shah Rukh Khan on the set of her film Bruce Lee: The Fighter.

In her heartfelt tweet, she described SRK as having a “magnificent aura” and being “humble beyond words.” This encounter clearly left a lasting impression on her, highlighting the influence Khan has had on her career aspirations.
Recently, Rakul took to social media to share her own romantic moment reminiscent of DDLJ while shooting for De De Pyaar De 2. In a charming photo taken in the lush fields of Punjab, she captioned it, “Post packup mood. Not to miss my DDLJ moment in Punjab ke khet.” This post delighted fans who appreciate her playful nod to the classic romance.
De De Pyaar De, released in 2019, was a romantic comedy that featured a stellar cast, including Ajay Devgn and Tabu. The sequel, directed by Anshul Sharma, will see Rakul and Ajay return, along with R. Madhavan joining the cast. According to reports, the film is set to hit theaters on May 1, 2025, a date that takes advantage of a long weekend, making it an ideal time for family audiences to enjoy the film together.
