“How can there be a relationship between a scene from the film Dilwale Dulhania Le Jayenge, featuring Shah Rukh Khan, and a paratha?” you may be wondering reading that headline. A few of you may have also gone down memory lane to recollect if there was any scene involving paratha in the movie. We won’t blame you if you come back scratching your head in confusion because the connection Zomato has managed to establish, that too in the form of a meme, is on a whole new level.
Remember the iconic palat scene from the film? Yes, the one in which Simran (Kajol) walks away at the station and Raj (Shah Rukh Khan) decided in his head that if she loves him, she will turn around and look at him. He even goes on whispering ‘palat’ until Simran turns.
Zomato has connected that scene with the paratha making process. How, you ask? See for yourself:
