Remember Chutki from Dilwale Dulhania Le Jayenge? Pooja Ruparel, the actor who played Chutki, is all grown up and almost unrecognizable.
Shah Rukh Khan and Kajol were at the ultimate peak of success in the 90s and early 2000s. One of their earliest movies together DDLJ did wonders in the industry and is still remembered as the pinnacle of entertainment in cinema’s history. Even today, we find reasons to rewatch the scenes shot in the beautiful green fields of India and cry with the characters.
While Shah Rukh and Kajol have the magic to steal the show, there’s no doubt that Simran’s (played by Kajol) witty little sister Chutki is one of the most iconic characters to exist. Chutki with her big spectacles and unruly hair is nothing like the actress who played her.
Pooja Ruparel grew up to be a gorgeous diva who did masters in Industrial Psychology. She pursued the career of a stand-up comic later, while also working in some of the movies like X: Past Is Present and Pela Adhi Akshar. She was also seen in action series 24. Another hidden fact about Pooja is that she is Sonakshi Sinha’s cousin.
Here are some of the pictures from Pooja’s official Instagram, look how grown up she is:
