Kuch Kuch Hota Hai became a massive success, both at the box office and in terms of its music. The film went on to achieve cult status, and its soundtrack sold eight million copies in India, becoming the best-selling Bollywood album of the year. The film also stars Salman Khan.
However, not many would know that Rani’s role of Tina Malhotra was initially offered to Twinkle Khanna and Aishwarya Rai. Karan had in fact revealed that Tina’s character was inspired by his childhood friend, Twinkle. However, Twinkle rejected the role, after which the filmmaker discussed the role with Aishwarya, who at the time was quite new to Bollywood. The actress also declined the role.
Speaking with Filmfare, Aishwarya had said, “I’m in a catch-22 situation, really. Though I’m a newcomer, I’m compared with all the senior actresses.” She added, “If I’d done the film, it would have been tittered that, ‘Look, Aishwarya Rai is back to doing what she did in her modelling days—leaving her hair straight, wearing minis, and pouting glamorously into the camera.’ Ultimately, the hero goes back to the more real person. I know if I’d done Kuch Kuch Hota Hai, I would have been lynched.”
Karan Johar’s last directorial was Rocky Rani Ki Prem Kahaani. The fil starred Alia Bhatt, Ranveer Singh and it was a huge hit at the box office.
