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,” KJo added.’Kuch Kuch Hota Hai’, released on October 16, 1998, went on to bag several awards and received an overwhelming response from the audience and critics alike.
