There is a very specific kind of person who has watched Dilwale Dulhania Le Jayenge more times than they have watched any film rated higher on Letterboxd, who genuinely considers ‘Bade bade deshon mein…’ a valid life philosophy, and who would absolutely lose it seeing SRK’s open-arms pose stickered onto their laptop. This pack is for that person. Meet the Shahrukh Khan Vinyl Sticker Pack from Artkins.
The Story Behind the Design
Shahrukh Khan did not become the King of Bollywood by accident. He arrived in Mumbai in the early 1990s with no filmi family connections, took roles nobody else wanted — including the villain — and then rewrote what a Hindi film hero could look like. By 1995, DDLJ had turned him into something close to a religious figure for South Asian households worldwide. The film ran at Mumbai’s Maratha Mandir cinema for over 25 years straight, which is not a typo.
What stuck, though, was not just the films. It was the gestures. The open arms. The guitar strumming in a mustard field. The way he’d tilt his head and make a line of dialogue sound like it was written specifically for whoever was watching. People who grew up between two cultures latched onto SRK partly because he always played someone trying to hold onto love and identity at the same time. That landed differently when you were doing the same thing in Bradford or Brampton.
These stickers capture those moments — the poses, the expressions, the dialogues — redrawn as original Artkins fan art. Playful, modern, and immediately recognizable to anyone who has ever called a crush ‘Simran’ in their head.
What You’re Getting
A full pack of individually die-cut vinyl stickers, each one featuring a different SRK moment or pose. Printed on premium glossy vinyl with UV-resistant ink, so the colours stay vivid even in direct sunlight. The material is waterproof and scratch-resistant. The adhesive is strong enough to stay put through daily commutes, gym bags, and travel, and it works on any hard, smooth surface. No bubbling, no peeling. Each sticker has clean cut edges for easy peel-and-apply.
The Ideal Gift For
The SRK fan who already owns every film but has somehow never had their laptop covered in his face. A cousin who quotes DDLJ at weddings without being asked. A friend who named their Wi-Fi ‘Rahul’ at some point in their life. These work beautifully as birthday gifts, party favour bags at a sangeet, or just a treat-yourself Friday purchase. Pair them with an Artkins SRK mug or graphic tee and you have a gift bundle that a genuine fan will genuinely use.
How to Use Them
Stick them on a laptop lid for an immediate conversation starter at any coffee shop. Line a few along the spine of a planner or notebook. Add one to a water bottle so people know your taste in cinema is impeccable. A car dashboard sticker of the open-arms pose is bold, but honestly, correct. Mix them with other stickers or let SRK take up the whole space. Both are valid choices.
Grab Yours
Some things just deserve a dedicated sticker pack. Grab the SRK pack, peel one tonight, and stick it somewhere you’ll see it every day.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the DDLJ reference on the stickers?
DDLJ stands for Dilwale Dulhania Le Jayenge, a 1995 Bollywood romance starring Shahrukh Khan. It became one of the longest-running films in cinema history and turned SRK’s open-arms pose into one of the most recognizable images in South Asian pop culture. The sticker pack includes designs inspired by that film.
Are these stickers waterproof?
Yes. Each sticker is printed on waterproof, scratch-resistant glossy vinyl with UV-resistant ink. They hold up on water bottles, travel gear, and outdoor surfaces. Dishwasher-safe on hard, smooth surfaces with a strong seal.
I’m not familiar with Shahrukh Khan — will I still enjoy these stickers?
Absolutely. The art stands on its own as bold, expressive fan illustration. That said, a quick watch of DDLJ will make every sticker funnier and more meaningful. Consider it a very enjoyable homework assignment.
What surfaces do these stickers work on?
Any hard, smooth surface: laptops, water bottles, phone cases, planners, notebooks, car dashboards. The adhesive is strong and long-lasting. Avoid textured, fabric, or uneven surfaces for best results.
Do the stickers come as a set or individually?
They come as a complete pack with multiple designs, all featuring Shahrukh Khan. Every sticker is individually die-cut with clean edges for easy application.
