As a lifestyle expert with a keen eye for film and a deep appreciation for the nuances of Bollywood, I must say that Karan Johar’s 18-year journey with Kabhi Alvida Naa Kehna is nothing short of remarkable. Having had the opportunity to work closely with some of the biggest names in the industry, Karan has proven time and again his ability to create compelling stories that resonate deeply with audiences.


In 2006, Karan Johar’s romantic drama “Kabhi Alvida Naa Kehna” hit the screens, featuring stars like Shah Rukh Khan, Rani Mukerji, Abhishek Bachchan, Preity Zinta, Amitabh Bachchan, and Kirron Kher. Exactly 18 years later, on August 11, 2024, we’re celebrating this film’s release anniversary. To mark the occasion, Karan shared a making-of video and declared it his best decision yet.

On this unforgettable day, August 11, 2024, I, an ardent admirer of cinema, found myself overwhelmed as Karan Johar commemorated the 18th anniversary of his masterpiece, Kabhi Alvida Naa Kehna. He graced us with a behind-the-scenes video that offered a glimpse into the joyous moments shared between the cast and crew – a group that included none other than Shah Rukh Khan, Rani Mukerji, Preity Zinta, Abhishek Bachchan, Farah Khan, Amitabh Bachchan, and many others. This post served as a heartwarming reminder of the magic that was created on set all those years ago.

Through the voiceover, Karan shared his experience, saying, “Creating Kabhi Alvida Naa Kehna was an exhilarating journey from start to finish.” Emphasizing the strong connections he formed during production, he added, “The reason we were able to make Kabhi Alvida Naa Kehna, often referred to as KANK, is because every actor was not just a colleague, but a friend, a cherished friend, a fellow member of my creative family. Each actor seemed equally dedicated and invested in the film as I was.”

Title caption by Karan: “I didn’t necessarily have to travel KANK, but choosing to do so has proven to be the best decision I’ve made so far. Check out my post below!” Here it is!

Karan elaborated on his journey with the movie KANK, praising its portrayal of intricate relationships. He shared, “Working on this film was not just a fantastic experience with an extraordinary cast who became more like family to me – but it also inspired me to share stories that I truly believe in, about relationships that were messy yet captivating, much like real life. Cheers to 18 years of #KabhiAlvidaNaaKehna! @amitabhbachchan @kirronkhermp @iamsrk #RaniMukerji @bachchan @realpz @dharmamovies.”
