'Koffee With Karan': Karan Johar recalls comic moment, unveils why he lied to Rani Mukerji during ‘KKHH’ narration
'Koffee With Karan': In the upcoming episode 6 of 'Koffee With Karan' Season 8, Karan Johar brings together Kajol and Rani Mukerji, his 'first leading ladies' from the iconic film Kuch Kuch Hota Hai, which marked its 25th anniversary this year.
Making the episode funny, ace filmmaker Karan Johar recalled the moment when he had to lie to Rani Mukerji during the narration of his first directorial film 'Kuch Kuch Hota Hai'.
Karan Johar recalled how he had lied to Rani while casting her as Tina in 'Kuch Kuch Hota Hai' because he was very desperate to find the perfect Tina.
During a conversation with Kajol and Rani on the set of ‘Kuch Kuch Hota Hai’, Karan Johar said, "The funniest thing happened, when I narrated Rani, the film, when 8 girls had said no and I was like "mujhe yeh short skirt pehenke karna padega Tina ka role" After the narration, she said can you come to my room. I had never been invited to a girl's room."
To which Rani said, "But why did I say that to you? Atleast say that, otherwise people think this story is incomplete. I invited you because Tarun Mansukhani and Nikkhil Advani were in the room."
"She took me into the room and she said, will you be able to convince the world that SRK loves me over Kajol because SRK and Kajol are such an iconic pair. At that time I was so desperate that I lied through my teeth, because I didn't even know how convinced I was. Toh I was like, you leave it to me. I will do it and I really wasn't sure what was coming my way but it was fun," Karan Johar added.
Kuch Kuch Hota Hai, released in 1998, holds a significant place in Bollywood, starring Shah Rukh Khan, Kajol, Rani Mukerji, and other talented actors. The season 8 of 'Koffee With Karan' airs on Disney Hotstar, offering a new episode every Thursday midnight, keeping fans engaged with delightful conversations and intriguing insights into Bollywood.
