Even after nearly three decades, Kuch Kuch Hota Hai continues to hold a special place in the hearts of Bollywood lovers. The film which released in 1998 wasn’t just a love story, it was an emotion that defined an entire generation.
Directed by a young Karan Johar in his debut, it brought together Shah Rukh Khan, Kajol and Rani Mukerji in a tale of friendship, heartbreak and rediscovered love. Its songs, dialogues and fashion became cultural milestones, turning the film into a timeless classic.
As the film completed 27 years, Karan Johar decided to celebrate the milestone by taking fans on a nostalgic journey through some unseen behind-the-scenes pictures. The filmmaker shared a series of candid shots from the sets, featuring Shah Rukh, Kajol, Rani and choreographer Farah Khan. The post captured the joy and camaraderie that defined the making of the movie. Along with the photos, Karan wrote, “27 years!!! Some beautiful and candid memories from our set of #KuchKuchHotaHai… a set filled with love, too much banter and happiness. Thank you to everyone for the love you continue to give this film… it means everything to me! @dharmamovies.”

Farah Khan, who choreographed the film’s unforgettable songs, reshared the post with a short but emotional caption — “Seems like yesterday”. Her words summed up what many felt while looking back at the pictures. Karan, in response, expressed his gratitude and admiration for her, writing, “You are the whole and soul reason the songs look so beautiful and memorable! Love you.”
The photos also included touching glimpses of Karan’s late father, Yash Johar, with Kajol, as well as veteran actors Reema Lagoo, Anupam Kher and Archana Puran Singh. These unseen moments evoked memories of a time when filmmaking was filled with warmth, laughter and pure passion.
Well, amid the nostalgia, some fans couldn’t help but notice that Salman Khan was missing from the collection. The actor, who played the endearing Aman, a character whose selfless love gave the film its emotional depth was not featured in any of the pictures. Within minutes, social media was abuzz with fans expressing disappointment over his absence, with many calling out Karan for not including him.
Despite the small controversy, the anniversary post served as a beautiful reminder of why Kuch Kuch Hota Hai remains a landmark in Indian cinema. With its mix of innocence, style and heartfelt storytelling, the film continues to connect generations. And even after 27 years, as Farah said, it truly does feel “like yesterday”, doesn’t it?
