Indian film director and producer Karan Johar recently celebrated the 26th anniversary of his iconic film Kuch Kuch Hota Hai with a heartfelt tribute. Starring Shah Rukh Khan, Kajol, and Rani Mukerji, the movie continues to be cherished in Indian cinema. To honor this milestone, Johar shared a nostalgic video on Instagram, filled with behind-the-scenes moments that encapsulated the film's essence.
He fondly recalled the charm of the 90s with a playful caption: 'Of cool neck chains, neon shirts, pink headbands, summer camp with only dancing involved, wishing on toota taaras, cheating in basketball, dosti [friendship] that turns into pyaar [love] and characters that live through time and beyond!!' Johar expressed his gratitude to the incredible cast and crew, reflecting on the joy of preserving that same spirit 26 years later.
Released in 1998, Kuch Kuch Hota Hai was more than just a film; it was a cultural phenomenon. Its catchy music, memorable dialogues, and iconic fashion influenced trends, from the gifting of friendship bands on Friendship Day to Khan's stylish accessories and Kajol's bob-cut. The film's enduring success led to its re-release last year. During the screening, Johar, Khan, and Mukerji surprised fans with a special appearance at a theatre, sparking a frenzy on social media.
Johar lauded Khan, referring to him as the 'Emperor of entertainment' and the 'King of romance,' highlighting the significant impact Khan had on his career. 'I won't be here if it wasn't for bhai [brother], if it wasn't for Aditya Chopra,' Johar said, adding, 'his energy is infectious. Thank you for being you, and thank you for allowing me to have this career.'
