Mumbai: Karan Johar made his directorial debut with ‘Kuch Kuch Hota Hai’, the new-age romantic drama featuring Shah Rukh Khan, Rani Mukerji, Salman Khan and Kajol.
Karan, the son of renowned Bollywood filmmaker and producer Yash Johar, recently recalled an emotional moment from his first day of ‘KKHH’ shoot and revealed how he broke down in Salman’s vanity van because of his choice for casual attire.
Speaking on Manyavar’s YouTube channel, Karan shared, “It was my first time working with Salman Khan, and I was… what should I say? Completely wound up because he was such a huge star. On his first day on set, I walked into his van. He was in a T-shirt and jeans. I said, ‘Salman, you know it’s a big set.’ And he replied, ‘Yes, but if for the first time a groom comes in jeans and a T-shirt, it will be a new style. I’ll bring the swag.’ I got so hyped but also so stressed thinking, ‘If he comes in jeans and a T-shirt, what will happen?’ I ended up crying right there in his vanity van.”
He continued, “Salman looked nervous seeing me cry and finally said, ‘No, no, I’ll wear the suit.’ And that’s how we shot my first-ever Sangeet song sequence.”
‘Kuch Kuch Hota Hai’ (1998) became one of the biggest blockbusters of the 1990s.
