Some Unknown Facts About Kuch Kuch Hota Hai

Kuch Kuch Hota Hai

  1. Javed Akhtar had nothing to do with Kuch Kuch Hota Hai(KKHH). He was supposed to write  the lyrics. But he  found  the title vulgar and opted out. Sameer Anjaan wrote  the lyrics. Later when KKHH became a historic hit I asked Javed Saab if he regretted quitting the  project. The answer was a firm no.
  2. While Shah Rukh Khan and  Kajol were locked in from the start for Anjali and Rahul, the character of the campus hottie Tina  was written for Karan Johar’s  buddy Twinkle Khanna, who was not interested. The role was then offered  to Raveena Tandon who said no to what was clearly the second lead. Finally a virtual newcomer named Rani Mukerjii was signed to play Tina. The film made her an overnight star.
  3. No A-lister wanted to play the role of Kajol’s fiance that Salman Khan eventually did. Karan Johar told me he even went to Chandrachur Singh and Mukul Dev who refused. Karan was in the throes of despair when he  met Salman at a party. Salman offered to do the role. ‘Because I know no one will do it,’ Bhai drawled. Salman never worked with either Karan Johar or Kajol after this.
  4. An animation  version of KKHH  called Coochie Coochie  Hota Hai with  the human characters replaced by canines was directed by Tarun Mansukhani but never  got released. Karan  explained to me that animation films don’t work in India  , and also, no one wanted to see Shah Rukh,  Kajol  and Salman as  dogs.
  5. Karan Johar enjoyed making Kuch Kuch Hota Hai much more than his second blockbuster Kabhi Khushi Kabhi Gham because…well over to Karan:  “When Kuch Kuch Hota Hai released I was this fat   95-kilo brat who  was pampered by the audience and critics.  When  K3G came along I had lost 25 kgs but gained a lot of responsibility on my shoulders.”  Some day Karan hopes to  convince Javed Akhtar that Kabhi Khushi Kabhi Gham is a more suggestive title than Kuch Kuch Hota Hai.
