While the film has been called out for its problematic gender politics, it is still a film that is close to the hearts of the audiences. The film starred Shah Rukh Khan (Rahul), Kajol (Anjali), and Rani Mukerji. Recently, Kajol revealed that she was keen on playing the role of Tina and not Anjali. In a recent Actors’ Roundtable 2023 on Netflix’s YouTube channel, Kajol disclosed that she fought with Karan to play Tina’s role in the film. When the host asked the actors if they have ever fought for a role, Kajol jumped and 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 nearly 45 minutes but he refused categorically.†Sidharth Malhotra, who was part of the conversation, humorously said that he was quite happy “with the way the film turned out.†Others on the round table also agreed that it happened for the best.
