- Bilibili: Dilwale Dulhania Le Jayenge

BiliBili houses a popular fan theory video (with 2.3 million views) claiming that a 45-second shot of Raj crying on the train platform was cut from the Indian version but exists in the Chinese VCD release from 1998. Whether true or not, the BiliBili community treats this as "canon."

Several female creators on BiliBili have created "POV: You are Simran" videos. These are aesthetic shots of the film set to Lofi music, interspersed with diary entries written in Mandarin. They translate Kajol’s silent gazes into poetic Chinese metaphors.
