She further said: “I started doing the films when I was 17 years old, and it just feels amazing that I have a daughter who is going to turn eight in December. So it’s exactly like how my daughter was in this film.” Rani referred to Sana Saeed, who played Anjali Khanna in the romantic drama. Anjali Khanna isthe daughter of Tina and Rahul.
The actress thanked fans for showering love on her character. She said: “Thank you so much for loving Tina. I was a newcomer, SRK and Kajol had already done ‘Dilwale Dulhania Le Jayenge’ (DDLJ), they were the iconic pair.”
“I was very nervous that the audience would not accept Rahul falling in love with Tina, when Anjali was around. But that was all Karan’s writing, what he wrote, and made it happen. The magic of ‘KKHH’ is the writing of ‘KKHH’,” Rani concluded.
Written and directed by Karan, ‘Kuch Kuch Hota Hai’ is produced by Dharma Productions.
It stars SRK as Rahul Khanna, Kajol as Anjali Sharma, and Rani as Tina Malhotra in lead roles, along with Salman as Aman Mehra in a special appearance. It also features Sana Saeed as Anjali Khanna in a pivotal role.

SRK on 25 yrs of ‘KKHH’: Launched a young KJo in certain way as I was little more established
Mumbai– Superstar Shah Rukh Khan, who celebrated 25 years of the cult movie ‘Kuch Kuch Hota Hai’, said he feels proud and happy as in a certain way he had launched director Karan Johar in the film.
SRK attended the special screening of the movie, along with the director Karan and lead actress Rani Mukerji.
Talking about the same, SRK said: “It is a very special occasion as it is 25 years of this film. Normally, it’s always how the film ages. We make films, some get forgotten in time, some do very well in time, some just don’t do good at all, but this is one film which has stood the test of time. It has aged very well. It has aged nearly as well as Karan.”
The actor said unfortunately, Kajol is not here but we send her the love wherever she is right now. Rani is here, which is beautiful, she is flawless.
SRK further said: “When I did this film, a lot of people thought I am Karan’s friend, but Karan is my friend’s son. His father was my friend — Yash Johar. And he produced this film, apart from some wonderful cinema, even before Karan started directing films. One of my favourites was the original ‘Agneepath’.”
“For me it was very important because Karan at that time, was about 23-24 years old, and I have a son who is that old now — Aaryan. So, now when I look back upon it, I feel very happy, very proud as I launched a young son (Karan) in a certain way, because I was a little more established than Karan was,” said the ‘Don’ fame actor.
SRK further said he is very grateful for Yash Johar, obviously wherever he is in heaven, Hiroo aunty, who backed the decision and made such a beautiful film like ‘KKHH’.
“I also thank Farida Jalal, Anupam Kher, Archana Puran Singh, and other actors whom I may have forgotten to mention. I would thank Salman Bhai, and also Rani who came as the ghost again in the end,” laughs SRK. ‘The kids in the film were so lovely.’
The actor shared: “We shot the film in Ooty, it was a lovely time. I shot ‘Chaiyya Chaiyya’ and ‘KKHH’ in Ooty. I am extremely fortunate to be a part of this movie. If it wasn’t for Yash Chopra, Yash Johar, these are my friends and then their sons Karan Johar and Aditya Chopra, I would not be half the star that I am today.”
“I really feel proud, grateful and thankful that these young boys at that time, chose me to cast in their films, and we stand here 25 years later celebrating this beautiful film KKHH,” added SRK.
Written and directed by Karan, ‘Kuch Kuch Hota Hai’ is produced by Dharma Productions.
It stars SRK as Rahul Khanna, Kajol as Anjali Sharma, and Rani as Tina Malhotra in lead roles, along with Salman as Aman Mehra in a special appearance. It also features Sana Saeed as Anjali Khanna in a pivotal role.

Mumbai– Veteran actress Ila Arun has opened up on working with Sushmita Sen in the upcoming crime thriller drama ‘Aarya’ season three, and talked about how their bond gradually turned into an unbreakable one.
Ila plays the character of Nalini Sahiba in the show.
Talking about the same, Ila said: “The moment I landed the role in ‘Aarya 3’, I was filled with anticipation about seeing Sushmita once more.”
“Our previous collaboration on ‘Chingaari’ had already formed a strong bond and mutual respect between us, and it was during that time that I truly got to know the actor in her. Before that, I had known and appreciated her as a model and Miss Universe, but witnessing her on set revealed her incredible strength,” said the ‘Manto’ fame actress.
The 69-year-old actress further shared: “Even when she faced a brief illness during ‘Aarya,’ my concern was palpable. However, when she returned to the set, it was as if she hadn’t suffered at all.”
“The majority of my scenes were with her, and during the shoots, we resided in neighbouring villas and truly, there was an abundance of affection. She affectionately refers to me as ‘Ma’, “ added the actress.
Sushmita plays the character of Aarya Sareen in the show. In the third season, Aarya has her eyes set on the supply and transportation of narcotic drugs but is intercepted by Ila Arun, who herself is the undisputed queen on the supply side.
Hot on Aarya’s heels is ACP Khan who after being preoccupied in the second season is back with vengeance and will do anything in his capacity to put an end to Aarya’s illegal drug empire. As Aarya gets cornered, she draws her claws out and goes for the kill with impunity as she has Daulat by her side.
The following shots present intense action and a showdown where a wounded Aarya draws the swords to slash anyone who lays hands on her kids.
After receiving an International Emmy Award Nomination for season one, and two successful seasons, the wait ends as the fan favourite franchise returns with its third season with newer challenges, newer enemies and with a newer ambition.
Created and co-directed by Ram Madhvani and co-produced by Amita Madhavni, Ram Madhvani Films and Endemol Shine India, ‘Aarya 3’ will air on Disney+ Hotstar from November 3.
