MUMBAI: SRK and Kajol's Dilwale Dulhania Le Jayenge is a cult film. Weadore all the characters in the film. Apart from the lead Raj and Simran and the coy Preeti, it was Kajol’s on-screen sister ‘Chutki’ aka Rajeshwari Singh who we absolutely loved!

Even with bigwigs around her, she stood out as headstrong, mischievous, and a pretty little girl in the film.

Well, Pooja Ruparel looks nothing like her nerdy character in the movie anymore. She is all grown up and doing well for herself. The actress, who is also Sonakshi Sinha’s cousin, has been a part of films like, ‘X: Past Is Present’ and ‘Pela Adhi Akshar’. She was also seen in action series 24.

Have a look at her pictures.

Talking about how she related to her character in the film, the actress had said, “Her wit, humour and way of looking at things... I was like that in real life as well. In fact, no character has been as close to me as Chutki. Her really bad people skills and terrible sense of timing when it came to giving advice made her more human - it’s a typical trait of teenagers. At home, my family used to call me ‘dadi maa’ when I was a kid, and I was the only child till I turned six. I would talk like adults, because I hung out with them. Chutki, too, had all these traits. She was an extension of me in many ways.”
