Karan Johar, the director of the film, shared a nostalgic post on his Instagram, featuring a picture of Salman’s character from the movie. In his caption, Johar reflected on how, 25 years ago, he found himself at a party feeling lost and confused. At that moment, Salman Khan, a massive movie star, approached him and inquired about his predicament. Johar recounted how he had approached several actors for a role, only to be politely rejected. It was then that the superstar, who happened to be the brother of someone close to Johar, graciously offered to hear the script the next day. This marked the beginning of Salman’s involvement in “Kuch Kuch Hota Hai” and their collaborative journey in the world of cinema.
