It was back in the year 1998 when Karan Johar after acting and becoming an assistant director to Aditya Chopra decided to become a full-time director. Yes, on October 16, 1998, KJo brought a timeless romantic film which has gone down in the history of Indian cinema.

At the 20 years celebration of Kuch Kuch Hota Hai, SRK recalled his reaction to Karan's narration of the film's script. The superstar said, "The story he narrated to me in that hotel, on the steps of Chahat shoot was crap and nonsense. Utterly not like the film you finally saw. He is a man of words so he actually thought he impressed me with that crap story."
Shah Rukh added, "Till date, he feels I don't remember that story. Then later when he narrated the script along with Kajol, and both of them kept crying in my room."
Kuch Kuch Hota Hai also had Salman Khan in an extended cameo role.
