[Watch] 25 Years Of Kuch Kuch Hota Hai: SRK, Rani Mukherji & Karan Johar Turn Up At Special Screening

New Delhi: In a pleasant surprise for fans, the star cast of Kuch Kuch Hota Hai turned up at the special screening of the film in Mumbai on Sunday evening. Shah Rukh Khan, Rani Mukerji and Karan Johar turned up at the theatre minus Kajol, to talk about the film’s journey.

Shah Rukh talked about the importance of the film in their lives and about the bond they share with Karan Johar. “We make films, some get forgotten in time, some do very well at that time and some just don’t do good at all. But this film (Kuch Kuch Hota Hai) has stood the test of time. It has aged nearly as good as Karan has,” he said.

“Many think Karan is my friend. But it was his father Yash Johar was my friend. To me this film was important because Karan at that time was 23-24 years old and I have a son now Aryan, who is that old. Now when I look back upon it, I feel very happy, very proud as I launched a young son because I was a little more established than Karan was at that time,” he continued.

Kajol gave the event a miss due to a shooting schedule.

A picture of the trio from the special night was shared by Dharma Production’s Instagram page. The caption read, “Bohot kuch hota hai seeing them all in one frame!(A lot happens after seeing them all together in one frame.” Missing our Anjali the most today! The celebration of pyaar (Love) & dosti (friendship) just got bigger & grander for #25YearsOfKuchKuchHotaHai.”

Addressing the audience on the special day, Karan Johar thanked the film’s lead cast for taking out time for the screening said, “This film is very special to me, it was my first film. It’s what began my journey.” Recalling a piece of advice given by his dad Yash Johar, Karan said, “My father I remember telling me that yeh agar average bhi jayega na toh samajh le tera career hain ( My father I remember telling me that if the film fares even average, it will mean your career will take off). But I am glad it did well and I had a film.”
