There is a very specific kind of desi auntie who has a framed photo of Shahrukh Khan in her living room, watches DDLJ every year like it is a religious obligation, and refers to him simply as “our Shahrukh” like they went to school together. This sticker pack is for her. And honestly, for the rest of us too.
The Inspiration
Shahrukh Khan became the King of Bollywood in the 1990s not just because he was impossibly charming, but because he played a very specific kind of romantic hero that felt new. Before SRK, the typical Bollywood leading man was stoic, broad-shouldered, a little brooding. Shahrukh came in nervous and funny and emotionally expressive, and somehow that was more magnetic than anything that came before.
Dilwale Dulhania Le Jayenge, released in 1995, ran in Mumbai’s Maratha Mandir cinema for over 25 consecutive years. That is not a typo. The open arms pose from the film’s final scene became one of the most recognisable images in cinema history, and desi kids who grew up in Toronto, Birmingham, or Houston grew up watching it on VHS tapes their parents brought back in suitcases from visits home.
The dialogues are basically embedded in the culture. “Bade bade deshon mein…” gets quoted at dinner tables with zero prompting. The guitar scene gets recreated at desi weddings constantly. SRK is not just a film star for this generation, he is shorthand for a whole feeling: romance, drama, and just enough ridiculousness to keep it fun. That is what these stickers are made of.
What You’re Getting
This is a vinyl sticker pack featuring original Artkins fan art of Shahrukh Khan across multiple iconic moments and poses. Each sticker is individually die-cut, with clean edges and no background waste to peel around. The vinyl is glossy, waterproof, and scratch-resistant. UV-resistant ink means the colours stay vivid in sunlight and do not fade with daily use. The adhesive is strong and holds on laptops, water bottles, phone cases, notebooks, planners, and car dashboards. Hard smooth surfaces work best. The material is dishwasher-safe on applicable surfaces.
Who This Was Made For
Honestly? The nani who has watched DDLJ more times than she can count and still tears up at the mustard fields scene. She probably does not have a lot of stickers in her life, and that is exactly why this works as a gift. It is personal, it is playful, and it says you actually paid attention to what she loves.
It also works beautifully for the teenage cousin who is just discovering SRK through reruns, the college friend whose laptop is a sticker graveyard, or anyone who unironically uses Bollywood dialogue in group chats. For gift bundles, it pairs with an Artkins SRK mug or graphic tee to make something a real fan will remember.
How to Use It
Clean and dry the surface before applying. Peel slowly, press firmly, smooth out from the centre outward. On laptops, put them where you will actually see them, the corner, the lid centre, or clustered together for a proper fan moment. On water bottles, a column of SRK stickers down the side looks genuinely great. On a planner or notebook, they make a cover feel like it belongs to someone with personality. Mix them, layer them, or go full commitment and cover an entire phone case. There is no wrong move here.
Get It Here
If someone in your life considers Rahul and Raj legitimate life role models, get them this. If that someone is you, even better. Original fan art, premium glossy vinyl, ships worldwide with free standard shipping.

Frequently Asked Questions
What Shahrukh Khan moments are featured in this sticker pack?
The pack includes original fan art of iconic SRK moments: the open arms DDLJ pose, the guitar scene, his signature romantic expressions, and memorable dialogue references. Every sticker in the pack is SRK-specific, not a general Bollywood mix.
What is DDLJ and why does it matter so much?
Dilwale Dulhania Le Jayenge is a 1995 Bollywood film starring Shahrukh Khan that became a cultural touchstone for an entire generation. It ran in one Mumbai cinema for over 25 consecutive years. For desi families abroad, it was the film passed around on VHS tapes and watched at every family gathering.
Are these stickers waterproof?
Yes. The vinyl is waterproof and scratch-resistant, and the ink is UV-resistant so it does not fade in sunlight. They are dishwasher-safe on hard smooth surfaces like tumblers and water bottles.
What surfaces do these stickers work on?
Any hard, smooth surface works well: laptops, water bottles, phone cases, planners, notebooks, car dashboards, and more. Textured or fabric surfaces are not recommended for best adhesion.
I’m not very familiar with Bollywood. Will I still appreciate these stickers?
Absolutely. The art captures a kind of joyful, expressive energy that reads well even without the full Bollywood context. That said, a quick search for “SRK open arms pose” will give you all the backstory you need, and you will probably watch DDLJ within the week.

Yes, Artkins ships worldwide with free standard shipping on all orders.
