College cult classic “Kuch Kuch Hota Hai” represents the best on-screen duo of Rahul-Anjali, our beloved Shah Rukh Khan and Kajol. “Kuch Kuch Hota Hai” celebrated its Silver Jubilee this year. Rahul, Anjali and Tina, played by Shah Rukh Khan, Kajol and Rani Mukherjee respectively, made all of us feel relatable to the film. We all have seen or have experienced the situation which KJo showed in the movie, a love triangle. We have seen that top to bottom matching pretty girl; we have seen that stud guy in our college; we have also seen that Tomboy girl. And we must say that all three actors gave proper justice to their characters. Kajol won Filmfare Best Actress for her character Anjali. Regardless of this entire scenario, Kajol revealed that she had an argument with Karan Johar over Rani Mukherjee’s role as Tina.
In a recent episode of Rajeev Masand’s Roundtable, Kajol opened up about the disputed she had with Karan Johar 25 years ago because she wanted to play Rani’s role in the movie. Kajol said, “I fought in Kuch Kuch Hota Hai. I fought with Karan Johar. I wanted to play Tina’s role, and he was like, ‘No. You are playing Anjali.’ I was like, ‘But I want to play Tina’s role. You don’t know what I will do with Tina.’ Karan told me to shut up. I fought with him tooth and nail for 45 minutes, but he refused categorically.”
Recently, both these actresses were seen together after a long time-sharing a couch on KJo’s Koffee With Karan. They remembered all those golden memories and also talked about their relation with each other. They both agreed on the thing that they like where they are now.
But imagine that, either way around, both actresses had interchanged their characters; would that film still have the impact that it has now? Would it count as a cult classic?
