The melodramatic video emulating Bollywood stars’ expressions, shows both the actors dressed in traditional African costumes and lip-syncing to the title track of the 1995 blockbuster film.

Veteran actor Anupam Kher took to Twitter to share a 2018 video of two actors from Nigeria re-enacting the title track Dilwale Dulhaniya Le Jayenge which featured Shah Rukh Khan and Kajol.

“Presenting #Shahrukh and #Kajol from Kenya lip-synching the eternal love song from the eternal #dilwaledulhanialejayenge,” Kher wrote on Twitter while sharing the video with a hashtag #MusicIsUniversal. He said the video had been sent to him by the film’s music composer Lalit Pandit.
