The veteran actor, who played Shah Rukh Khan's father in the movie, tweeted this all the way from New York: "Mere pyaare, Shah Rukh! Baas aise hi... New York mein tumhari achanak yaad ayi. We have had some great times together. And then we all grew up! Love and prayers always." Anupam Kher gave us major DDLJ nostalgia as he attached a hilarious gif of Raj and his pops doing the signature high-fiving and hugging.

Hum dono ka dil to baccha hai ji. Come back home, let's start with Snakes and Ladders and we can move to making sand castles in the air. Miss you," he tweeted.
