There are films, then there are memorable films and then there is Dilwale Dulhania Le Jayenge. The blockbuster hit has engraved into the hearts and minds of millions of movie buffs even twenty-four years after. On Thursday, the reel life father-son duo Anupam Kher and Shah Rukh Khan decided to revive their DDLJ days as they engaged in a cute banter on Twitter.

It so happened that Anupam Kher, who is currently in New York tweeted a GIF from a scene from the film and said that he was missing him. He wrote, "Mere pyaare @iamsrk !! Bas aise hi!! New York me tumhari achanak yaad aayi! (My dear Shah Rukh Khan, was just remembering you in New York) We have had some great times together. And then we all grew up!! Love and prayers always #DilwaleDulhaniyaLeJayenge".

SRK too responded in a sweet way and sent his "daddy" an invitation to a match of Snakes and Ladders and that they both were still young at heart. SRK tweeted, "Arre nahi Daddy Cool! 'Grow up' hon aapke dushman. 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."
