And guess what? The actor picked Shah Rukh Khan’s blockbuster romantic classic, Dilwale Dulhaniya Le Jayenge, a film that he says was the first one that he watched as a college student. He says after watching DDLJ he felt like becoming Shah Rukh Khan.
Reteish Deshmukh: As a teenager Dilwale Dulhaniya Le Jayenge had the hugest impact on me. I had just passed out of school and was planning getting into architecture in year 1995-96. But when I saw this film I decided that I wanted to be Shah Rukh Khan in real life.

After watching it I felt I should have a girlfriend like Kajol and I felt I should romance her like Shah Rukh does in the film. The idea of romance is so pure in that film that it inspires you.
DDLJ had so much of an impact on me that I remember when the first time when I started acting I told my director to please ensure that I don’t end up copying Shah Rukh Khan.
I remember clearly the scene where Shah Rukh says palat, palat, palat (turn, turn, turn around) to Kajol.
Most romantic moment of the film for me was when Kajol at the railway station invites him for the wedding, and he says he wont come.
The best dialogue in the film is when SRK says to Kajol in the film, "Ye awara tumhein deewano ki tarah pyaar karta hai," (I am this vagabond who loves you like mad)
Everyone who watched the film wanted to live life like DDLJ portrays it. But DDLJ was something that happened only once.
