Sanya Malhotra channels Kajol, dancing to DDLJ's classic song in the snow. The actress also begins shoot for new thriller 'Sundar Poonam'.

"Zara sa Jhoom lu main has been crooned by Asha Bhosle and Abhijeet Bhattacharya."

Mumbai, March 29

Shah Rukh Khan and Kajol starrer "Dilwale Dulhania Le Jayenge" is one such movie, whose every song, character, and dialogue is inked in the memory of movie buffs.

Proving the Bollywood celebs are also in love with "DDLJ", actress Sanya Malhotra was seen recreating the popular song from the film, "Zara sa Jhoom lu main" in her latest Instagram Stories.

Standing in the middle of the snow, the 'Mrs' actress was seen grooving to the track featuring SRK and Kajol.

"Zara sa Jhoom lu main" has been crooned by Asha Bhosle and Abhijeet Bhattacharya.

Recently, as "Dilwale Dulhania Le Jayenge" completed 30 years of release, Shah Rukh Khan and Kajol unveiled the bronze statue of their characters Raj and Simran at London's Leicester Square.

It must be noted that "DDLJ" is the first-ever Indian film to be honoured with a statue at Leicester Square, joining other cult characters from historic films, such as Harry Potter, Mary Poppins, Paddington, and Singin' in the Rain, as well as Batman and Wonder Woman.

Coming to Sanya, she recently started the shoot for her romantic thriller "Sundar Poonam".

She took to her official Instagram handle and gave an insight into the puja ceremony. Her post included photos of the clapboard, the aarti, along with some candid stills of Sanya with her co-stars from her next.

"#SundarPoonam It begins," Sanya wrote the caption.

Made under the direction of Pulkit, "Sundar Poonam" also stars Aditya Rawal in a significant role.

The project was announced as part of the Prime Video 2026 slate.

It is believed that the movie is based on the 2025 honeymoon murder case, where an Indore-based businessman was killed during a trip to Meghalaya shortly after marriage.

In addition to "Sundar Poonam", Sanya will also be seen in the upcoming dark comedy "Toaster". The Rajkummar Rao starrer will premiere on Netflix on April 15.

Love the tribute, but honestly, no one can match Kajol's original energy in that song. Sanya is a good actress, but this felt a bit forced. The original DDLJ magic is just unbeatable.

The statue in London is a massive win for Indian cinema! 🎬 DDLJ deserves it. It's more than a film; it's an emotion for every 90s kid. Good on SRK and Kajol for making us proud on a global stage.

Interesting to see the blend of classic homage and her new projects. "Sundar Poonam" sounds intense based on a real case. Sanya is choosing such diverse roles, from dark comedy to thriller. One to watch!

Bahut khoob! The song, the setting, the nostalgia - perfect combo. But more than the reel, the real news is the Leicester Square statue. Our films getting that kind of international recognition is long overdue. Next should be a statue of Amitabh Bachchan!

Cute video, but my mind is already on "Toaster" with Rajkummar Rao! That's the project I'm waiting for. April 15 on Netflix can't come soon enough. Hope it's as good as their previous work.
