25 Years Of Kuch Kuch Hota Hai: Shah Rukh Khan lauds Karan Johar, says the film stood the test of time: “It still has relevance”

It’s been 25 years since Kuch Kuch Hota Hai released in theatres and Karan Johar forayed into direction. Starring Shah Rukh Khan, Kajol, Rani Mukerji and a special appearance by Salman Khan, the film has completed 25 years today. On October 15, special screenings were held in Mumbai on this special occasion. Shah Rukh Khan, Rani Mukerji and Karan Johar surprised the audience at the theatres to witness the excitement of fans. Kajol missed the screening due to prior commitments to her work schedule due to which she has been travelling.

Shah Rukh Khan arrived at one of the shows in Mumbai along with Rani and Karan. Addressing the crowd who was cheering for him, Shah Rukh Khan said, “I just want to say something which is very important to me that you know when I joined the film industry, I made some friends who are now family – Mr. Yash Chopra, Mr. Yash Johar, Karan’s late dad and he was my friend actually more than Karan. He was my friend and my friend’s son is Karan who was 24 years old when he made Kuch Kuch Hota Hai.”

Shah Rukh Khan then said that the film stood the test of time. He said, “…which happens at least for me and a lot of us, once in a lifetime. It’s 25 years since the film and Mashallah it still has relevance. It’s always how the film ages. We make films and some get forgotten with time and some do very well at that point in time and some don’t do good at all, but this is one film that has stood the test of time.”
