As a die-hard fan who has watched Kuch Kuch Hota Hai countless times, I find myself deeply moved by Kajol’s candid confession about her character Anjali. Her rebellious spirit and unapologetic attitude towards fashion choices resonate with me on a profound level. If I could, I would pair track pants with my sneakers every day like she did in the movie!
26 years ago, on October 16, Karan Johar’s iconic movie “Kuch Kuch Hota Hai” was released, starring Shah Rukh Khan, Kajol, Rani Mukerji, and Salman Khan. As we commemorate this milestone, let’s reminisce about a time when actress Kajol revealed her preference for Salman Khan’s character over Shah Rukh Khan’s in Johar’s film. She also shared that her portrayal of Anjali would never include wearing a saree.
In an interview with Humans of Bombay, Kajol was questioned about her role as Anjali in Kuch Kuch Hota Hai. She expressed that if Anjali were to be portrayed in a modern context, she would opt for casual track pants and fashionable designer sneakers rather than traditional sarees, while still maintaining an elegant appearance.
When asked whom she would have chosen between Rahul (portrayed by Shah Rukh Khan) and Aman (played by Salman Khan), Kajol replied, “On a theoretical level, I might have picked Salman’s character. However, if you watch the movie, there’s no choice regarding the ending; it has to unfold as it does.
As a lifestyle connoisseur, I’d like to share an intriguing transformation I’ve noticed in the character of Anjali, portrayed by Kajol in a popular film. Initially, Anjali embodied a spirited, short-haired tomboy, harboring a quiet love for her best friend Rahul. After an eight-year gap, she reappears as a graceful woman adorned in a sari, her hair now flowing long. This transformation showcases the growth and evolution of Anjali’s character over time.
In 2019, director Karan Johar openly acknowledged that Kuch Kuch Hota Hai was his most contentious movie, and as reported by The Indian Express, he further disclosed that Shabana Azmi had voiced her criticism of him regarding this film over the phone.
At the Melbourne Film Festival, Karan shared an incident where Shabana confronted him about a film character with short hair being depicted as unattractive, but only becoming appealing when her hair was long. Upon Karan’s apology, Shabana responded with disbelief, asking if that was all he had to say on the matter. In response, Karan admitted that she was correct and had no further argument.
Kuch Kuch Hota Hai, helmed by Karan Johar, is a cherished romantic movie that has enchanted viewers since its debut on October 16, 1998. Featuring Shah Rukh Khan, Kajol, Rani Mukerji, and Salman Khan in leading roles, the film delves into the realms of love, friendship, and personal growth.
